I genuinely love the game of poker, so I'm interested in whether others here like it too.

Does anyone here play? To what extent do you play it? I'm interested in:

-types of games you play: hold'em, five card draw, stud, omaha, etc.

-times in your life when you played, and how much you play nowadays

-what kinds of venues: home games, casinos, clubs, online, etc.

As a kid, I played five-card draw with friends for fun. I was introduced to stud in eighth grade. In college I played one night of holdem and one night of strip poker.

It wasn't until I saw a commercial for online poker in 2005 that I started that, and got pretty serious. Now I've played just about everything at least once. I've played in a few casinos, and Elks lodges, and home games. Cash games, tournaments, you name it. Though there are some weird variations I haven't played, I've done most of the normal stuff.
