So how do you play Texas Hold'em? With just poker chips, cookies, beer?

I don't see how you can bargain a wager without something to lose.

That is the psychology and underlying method to the entire experience of poker.

Pretzels may be the way to go.

I know it sucks without money at the end but around here, some ppl get mad and I lose their respect when they flip out over a fucking card game! we play with a real set of chips. casino style.

Nice! Do you play anything besides poker?

if we keep going like this for another page and a half, I'll be post # 6666.

hmm. yes. as far as gambling games go, not really but i play : freecell, solitaire, 9, 99, hearts, golf, liverpool, asshole, ...

other random games that aren't card really: rummy, mileborne, monopoly, hmm... not sure what else.

Ever play backgammon?

ah yes I have. i play it once a while but it's one of those games I'll play JUST for fun. if someone gets competitive, i stop. games of chances don't interest me much. but it's a cool game. Master mind is one game i fucking love!

Never heard of Master mind; what is it?

1 person makes a code (4 colours) from a choice of 6 colours I think. then the opponent has to break the code 1st by guessing but after every guess, the 1st person has to tell them how many colours are correct (white) and how many pins are in the correct spot.(black).

example: code is the code i pick. then you start at 1 and add 4 colours in 4 holes and then on the right, i will put white and black pins depending on what you put. get it?

* * * * code
1 2 3 4 - 6_ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 - 5_ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 - 4_ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 - 3_ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 - 2_ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 - 1_ _ _ _

like this.

No, i don't get it, but give me a minute.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastermind_(board_game) better explaination maybe?

Looks familiar; wonder if i can find it online.

Found it; playing as I type.

i'll do a better explaination here:
i pick blue, red, green and yellow this is the code. you don't know this.

so your 1st guess is green red blue yellow.
i will put 2 black pin to indicate you got 2 correct pins and 2 white to indicate 2 are correct but not in the right hole. you don't know which ones yet.

so your 2nd guess is blue red green yellow.
i now put 1 black and 3 white.

etc... till you get it.

hey! post the game here. we all want to play!

Just found whatever version was most appealing - 3rd one i tried

http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/frames_as...n=instructions

Am I allowed to repeat colors?

the answer is yes - because i won on my last row :D

It was: Purple Red Red Blue

I'll give it another go.

enjoying yourself eh? it's a great game to play with someone else. i also have the MEGA master mind. 4 player at the same time i think. :)

It is trick to winning just guessing all the same colors?

It is rightly hard.

if you like this, you might also like FILLER. it's a super old game(95-98). it was super simple but very addictive. if you can find it, it was free back in the day. i can't find the exact version now. (just colours in hexagons. no graphics... )

Alright! I'm getting better! Check it!

Green Purple Purple Blue - 1 black

Green Yellow Yellow Red - 1 black, 1 white

Green Red Orange Orange - 2 black

Green Red Green Green - 4 black

WINNER IN FOUR!!!!!!! :D

I think i found it. gimme a sec to confirm.

ah nice! glad you found a fun game there! :)

nevermind this download. it sucks and doesnt work. i'm looking for another version.

As we are chatting reciprocally, I am also watching NBC's 30 Rock online; is it a good show? I wouldn't want to watch all 21 eps. if they all sucked.

it's ok. not great but good if you're bored. i sometimes watch it between the office and scrubs. it's watchable.

Fair enough, it only got one chuckle out of me in the past twenty minutes.

I'm gonna retire and see if I can't find an enjoyable show online to watch.

But before i go, what time is it?

1:30am

Okay, i was hoping for something funnier, like so:
