Hi Steemit people,

I was just wondering how many people on here actually play poker and where you guys are from?

Also I'd love to hear some funny poker stories and see funny poker hand histories or hands where you just lost your mind.

I can get us started with one of my favourite bad hands:

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $13.36 | Rake $0.30
Board [Jh 8c 7h Td Th]
Seat 1: vorusnam (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: kapetano10 (small blind) showed [Qd Ac] and lost with a pair of Tens
Seat 3: goingpaper (big blind) showed [9h 9c] and won ($13.06) with a straight, Seven to Jack
Seat 4: DyOdOx folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 5: ConvoyExp folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 6: UJGRaped folded before Flop (didn't bet)

For some reason I decided turn a hand with medium value in a bluff which I think is absolutely horrendous. However, my play worked out this time but that doesn't mean I played well. I got extremely lucky to hit a straight.
