Poker? I hardly even know her!

You can lose a lot of money gambling. Not advisable at all. Anyway, fragging is a lot more fun .

Aye I know, I was intending to just use the e-munnyz to learn the ropes first, so to speak, but even if I used real money I wouldnt use a lot.

If you have a MySpace or a Facebook there are poker apps you can use, such as Poker Palace and Texas Hold'em.  Might want to give those a try.  Also here is a Poker game you can download and play offline or online if you wish http://www.pokerth.net/

I know absolutely nothing about poker, so I can't be of any help besides that

My advice:

Cheat like hell, carry a pistol, and keep the safety OFF.

Find a friend and run the table via vent.

Unless its a large ante, fold at the first opportunity if you don't have more than a pair of J's from the start.

If you were at a real casino, there are ways of being relatively sure that you will always make money. I start at the craps table with a decent amount. Put a certain amount on a field bet, they usually pay 1to1. If you roll a non-field number, double the field bet and roll again. Continue doubling the bet until you hit a field number. Then start over with the first amount on the field again. This way you can always make back what you lost on previous bets, plus gain the money you hoped to win from the first bet. Beware, though. If you hit a really bad streak you can lose EVERYTHING. Once you get a decent pile up, you can make larger initial bets and make more money faster. Then take those earnings and play poker and 21, because you'll probably lose it all there anyway. OR... you can take those profits to the roulette wheel and if you're lucky you can throw it all on red or black and double it, since those bets typically pay out 1to1. Or if you're willing to take on a little more risk, you can spread out smaller bets on individual numbers throughout most of only 2/3rds of the table, and I believe those bets usually pay out something like 15to1 or 32to1, a HUGE return for one bet, although you won't make a ton since you spread out so much everywhere else. Another strategy would be to start with a LOT of money, spread it out in bets on every individual number across 1/3rd of the table. If the roll misses, double the bets on the same numbers and try again. It's dangerous, but will yield a much higher return. Shit like this is why they put magnets in the wheel.
