The Poker Room
The Poker Room
The poker room is a very unique and exciting place, but it can also be a frustrating place. Poker is a game for everyone. There are many different types of people in a poker room, anywhere from rich to middle class and in some cases lower than that. There are many sights and sounds all around, from the people to the décor, as well as the materials for the games. Poker consists of lots of different games and there’s usually at least one table for each game type. All of this makes a poker room a really exciting and unique place to be. Inside a poker room there is just about any type of person that can come to ones mind. People of every race, religion, and sex play the game. At some tables there are talkative people. These are the ones who talk a lot and try to distract their opponents from what’s happening during a hand. There’s also people who are really quiet like myself. They sit quietly and study the game and what’s going on around them. These people are constantly trying to find a tell on another player or figure out a persons betting patterns. They look for anything that will give them a slight edge over their opponents. Since a poker room normally has a bar there’s always a few drunk players. I prefer to play against a drunk over a sober person any day. When a person drinks it’s hard for them to concentrate so they are essentially “dead money”. One down side is they can be loud and obnoxious and slow down the game. When there’s a lot of people and a lot of money around there’s always going to be a lot of action going on around the room and at the table. In a casino everything is nice and “pretty” with bright colors and things to get attention. The poker room is usually like that as well, unless of course it’s a bar or a home game. All these colors and lights are a distraction to people. They are there for one reason, to take peoples minds off the game they are playing so the casino can win more money. Every poker table consists of nice
