Ultimate Texas hold em is against the dealer and a separate game from both of those.

Here we go. It's a new game (whatever new is): There are several new table games based on Texas Hold’em hitting the casino floors. One of these games is Ultimate Texas Holdem.

I play straight poker and Blackjack. None of the wildcard BS.

Nice new avatar pic Bob... lol.

Regarding apple's recent price "excitement", I ran across this article, one of many explaining the seasonal behavior of apple stock:

So whether you're patiently holding long (like me), or just wondering wtf, this is something to consider.

Well, the wrong people found out about it... pretty lame. I think some of it is still being sorted out. I quit playing online in 2007 for more than tiny stakes after the UIGEA was passed, as all the fish were scared off, and it was all sharks feeding on sharks, and well... I'm not a world-class poker player. Plus lots of players wrote scripts and let bots play high volume odds-based games. It was a gigantic dark pool after mid 2008.

ED: I will add it was fun when they had the cash withdrawl, you could walk into a Walmart or similar wire transfer Western Union type desk and walk out with a nice wad of hundos... that was always so amazing.

You're karma is 1111! Thought I'd point that out!

I used to play online poker as well over on full tilt before the ban. Good thing I tilted one too many times and had it taken from me before the ban  or I would've been pissed. I actually owe full tilt $20 lol.

There's still a few sites that allow you to play on like sportsbet and absolute, but I usually just enjoy playing poker with all the buddies whether it's tourney or a cash game. If I want to gamble with the best odds I'll deposit some money into a binary option account.

I'm doing that in a week or 2 actually!

Where are you doing binary options? I've seen a little about these but haven't really looked into them much.

Edit: Just found 24option.com from CherryCoke's thread. Not for me.
