men's poker nights
It's not about poker, its about relaxing, enjoying the company of some men, making grunting noises, and laughing at Junior High humor. If you're a man, and you have 10 bucks, here's your chance to prove your poker skills or lack there of. Depending on the number of men who show, we will have several $5 games in before the night is through. Bring your favorite soothing beverage (barley pop, soda, water, etc.) and bring something fattening to eat! For the same price as a movie, you can enjoy some laughs and, if you're lucky, go home with a little extra. Invite your buddies!
But...if it were about Poker, let's remember that poker is not necessarily gambling, it is a game of skill. Gambling holds a ton of negative connotations and probably conjures up images of some dead-beat dad throwing his paycheck away at a craps table. Do not be mistaken. Poker did not make this man gamble to excess, sin did. Poker becomes sin when it leads to overindulgence, as does food, internet use, or anything else perverted by the sin within us. Again, Poker is a game of skill, a craft that can be enjoyed, studied, and/or mastered.
"I have great respect for the game of poker. I would never call poker gambling anymore. I would equate it much more with chess and other games of skill, games that require multi-level strategic, mathmatical or psychological skills. For those who play seriously there's no luck involved, at all. Entering that tournament that Matt and I played in Vegas was the equivalent of us entering Wimbledon. We were getting beaten soundly by far, far suprior players at a game of skill." Edward Norton, after filming Rounders
