Where are steemit poker players from?
Hi Steemit people,
I was just wondering how many people on here actually play poker and where you guys are from?
Also I'd love to hear some funny poker stories and see funny poker hand histories or hands where you just lost your mind.

For some reason I decided turn a hand with medium value in a bluff which I think is absolutely horrendous. However, my play worked out this time but that doesn't mean I played well. I got extremely lucky to hit a straight.
Also here is a picture of Tom Dwan

Yes, I was going to say I like the flop cbet (HU in position, good board) but no reason to 3bet the flop, just call. But I wouldn't worry too much about your one mistake, he basically played every action on every street wrong postflop.
I last saw Tom Dwan 3 years ago. Ran into him at a party, actually it was a UFC viewing party, the night Anderson Silva lost to Chris Weidman for the first time, so July 6, 2013. He showed up in Vegas to play the one drop, left, and I haven't seen him since. I talked to him briefly about the fight, but then I ate too much weed candy and passed the fuck out, woke up to an empty house owned by people I didn't know haha. Oh well, always got along with him, but definitely think he needs to pay back jungleman asap.
I've been a professional poker player for 10+ years, made an AMA in another thread: https://steemit.com/poker/@daut44/introductory-post-and-ama-ask-me-anything-about-being-a-professional-gambler
feel free to ask any strategy or poker questions you have over there, will try to answer :)

@goingpaper I play poker as you know by voting to stake me.
I have many stories having played semi professionally off and on the past few years. Traveled around the country playing and went to the WSOP a few times. So many stories and hands. Also have an idea of hosting poker games in a virtual world for STEEM as I have done so with bitcoin already. Found some interested players. So just a matter of finding more and when a time is good for everyone interested.
