Full time poker players: Do you play video games (Civ 4, AOE3, etc)?

[w_alloy]

I've tossed and deleted 5 games about 12 times total. Videogames are the number 1 enemy to my poker career (besides sucking).

Yes. On Act II Scene 3 of aoe3 right now. Psyched to try some multiplayer.

Civ IV will definitely be next.


Playing a casual tournament on the laptop while gaming on the main computer can be a nice break from multi-tabling. Works better with the turn-based games.

I haven't played any poker since Civ 4 hit the store last week ... few more days and my little vacation will be over and I'll get back to work.

That's what I was telling myself about WoW. Few days turned out to be seven months.

i used to be addicted to minesweeper and solitaire before poker. i haven't been too into console or PC games since jr. high.

I still play video games, but not as much since I started playing poker.

I will definitely pick up my play when the new Xbox 360 comes out later this month.

I can't say I don't play a little World of Warcraft once in a while.

I play a regular amount of Madden on the PC. Maybe 4-5 games per week in online leagues. Very seldom against the cpu.

But its funny, I bought this computer and graphics card for high-end gaming. In the first couple months i was playing a lot of games, till all hours of the night.

Then, I just kinda stopped. Its weird. I was just wondering about it the other day, then this poll showed up.

I also keep telling myself I'll go back to gaming. Didnt know Civ IV was comin out (loved 2, didnt like 3).

Maybe i'm just having a hard time justifying any time spent at the computer NOT working.

Used to play starcraft many years ago, now I feel like I've wasted all those years, could probably be a millionaire by now if I started playing poker in elementary school.

If starcraft 2 comes out I'll probably play.

modded xbox (pm me for info) + 70 games = fun. Burnout 3/revenge can really take the edge off bad beats.
