Re: Really, how old school are you?
Sure wish I remembered some of that stuff. But nah... I got in late with the rest of the masses. Missed the golden age of ipoker, but at least I didn't miss experiencing Pokerstars. I miss you, man.

Do you remember:
GCA. Extra points if you had a strong opinion

I distinctively remember being so amazed at the massive amounts of cash in that game, at least at the time it was massive.. not so much by the pre-BF standards of recent years.

I'm not very old school, but I remember seeing MUCKEMSAYUHH for the first time on FTP and thinking that was the greatest name ever.

Smoking at the table, whiskey chasers, shooting the bull, scratching the crotch – hell the cards were just an excuse to get out from under the missus thumb. I miss those days.

Re: Really, how old school are you?
I remember when the poker games were 95 percent stud, with one limit hold 'em table going in the corner. I even played five-card draw occasionally.
Watch the opening scene of "California Split." Pretty much that.
