I have been playing a weekly to semi-weekly game of Texas Hold'em with a rotating group of friends now for about five years. I believe we started on New Year's Day 2004 with just five of us in someone's living room. Only one of us (not me) had really had much experience playing hold'em at a casino while the rest of us just watched on on TV and occasionally called it out in the semi-weekly dealer's choice game we had been playing for years before that.
