I just read today's strip, and it shows you and Sierra playing poker.  Me, I'm a Texas Hold 'Em fan myself and here's my question:  What do you and the rest of the Sandusky cast think of Texas Hold 'Em?

I like watching Texas Hold 'Em on TV.  I think Daniel Negreanu is my favorite guy to watch.  He always seems to know what the other players have.  It can be pretty scary at times.  Sandusky isn't a huge fan of TV poker.  He typically needs something with a little more action.

Sometimes I play poker on the internet, too.  People get pretty embarassed when they find out they've been beaten by a dog.    Scott doesn't let me play for real money, though.

I hear that.

His loss.  (You reading this, Sands?)  But he does enjoy playing poker, right?

Interesting.  I believe I would like to see how you do while playing against me.  I play regularly on Full Tilt Poker (www.fulltiltpoker.net) and Carbon Poker (www.carbonpoker.com).  Look me up.  My screen names are listed below:

Straight up!  Foxes are awesome!  Other canids, too (dogs, wolves, jackals, coyotes, etc.).  Cats?  Generally, they suck, but I like a few individual cats.  And Sandusky is one of those I like.

Since this topic is about poker, Yuoo--more specifically, it's about Texas Hold 'Em--what do you think of the game?

While I have yet to meet a fox in person, they seem like pretty cool guys to me.  And I'm glad that I'm OK for a cat.    You may want to be careful with the anti-cat rhetoric elsewhere on the boards, though.  There are some pretty fanatical feline fans out there.

See Bunker, I told you I could use both "rhetoric" and "fanatical" in the same post.  HA!

Well, the last time I played poker was when I was about 12 or 13 years old, with my family.
**Caution:  Luddite fox approaching** Plus, since I don't have TV signal (cable or antenna), I've only seen Texas Hold'em once, and that was at a restaurant.  

Watch what you say about kats, vermin.

Oh, I never really answered your question, did I?  Well, even though I don't play it, Poker seems like an excellent game:  a balance of statistics, interpersonal psychology, and gut instinct.

Not to mention violence, but only if I lose.

That reminds me of something...

That's a good philosophy
