There's no poker thread around here as far as I've seen, so here goes.
I took up poker not long ago and was fascinated by how complex a simple game can get once you delve into it: player types, pre- and post-flop strategies, positioning, pot odds, betting odds, implied odds, short stack strategies, deep stack strategies, and so on... I figure it's a facile game for INTPs to pick up, and since many people are absolute maniacs with no strategy whatsoever, it can also provide you with some pretty easy money on the side.
I'd be curious to hear what experiences you've made with the game and which strategies (apart from the obvious tight-aggressive playing) you favour. I'll be glad to throw in my unqualified two cents in the process.
