A year ago I'd see a few real rocks (very tight and passive to very passive) on-line and more in B&M (especially if you played in the mornings or afternoons). Since poker got so popular I almost never see these players anymore. Has the poker explosion made the rock extinct?

I'm not sure, but I think they all moved to Vegas and now play at Sam's Town and the Stations.

what a great question. yes i believe they are all very gone. all the old men who look like they might be rocks where i play are really just rich old men who have maybe a little less gamble in them then most players but still love to see a capped 7way pot preflop w/ KJo from the sb.

so, in short, yes. they all died.

In Atlantic City all of the rocks play 7 card stud at the Trop.

Well the good news is I have one more reason to dislike playing stud. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

I mostly avoid the times of day when the rocks come out. I still do see a few online and in casinos.

I haven't played with him, but I have a suspicion that Chesspain is a rock. The man seems to want to fold every hand /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Good. I'm glad I've never played in those casinos. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

If the Rock is extinct, does that mean he won't be making any more horrible movies? I think his last movie had lots of explosions, but I'm not sure about any poker explosions.... /images/graemlins/grin.gif
