First of all, one of the best things about SnGs is that you can fire up a set during your lunch break. There is just something so gratifying about making money at poker when you're getting paid, at the same time, from your job.

I usually rush home and play for an hour. I'm just wondering are there many others that actually get to play during work or lunch? If so, how often?

I live 15 minutes away. I'm "allowed" a 45 minute lunch. I would have to stay here until 6:30 to do that. [censored] that.

nope don't do. i tend to play wreckless when i do. i just go home, spend 30 seconds eating, then pull bongs, surf porn, and chew kodiac the rest of the night

Work? Lunch break?

Silly mortals.

Before I stopped working for The Man, I used to get in 10-12 on the company dime.

Yes. I just finished getting my ass handed to me in a couple of $55s.

I used to stop by a buddy's place who lives a few minutes from work for a quick $55... but it stopped soon after it started as I don't like playing when I'm under a time constraint- makes for rash decisions. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I started playing SNG's at my desk while I ate my lunch. After a while my lunch started running from 11-2. I stopped when I decided that losing a $70k a year job to win $50 bucks at lunch was probably -EV. Explaining to my wife why I lost my job would be even more -EV.

This gratifying feeling is called stealing.

No. I have played in the office after work a couple of times waiting for my wife to meet me for dinner or something. I have considered having lunch at Panera Bread (free wifi) and taking my laptop to get in a quick SnG, but haven't done it.
