I'm on the fence with this .I stopped playing poker for a year or so as it s eemed to be taking too much of my time, I played the other week with friends for 40$ texas holdem, we play less often now, just to have the friends together I may organize a game for less money..say 20$...but maybe I can be convinced this is not a great idea...from my readings of the church father games of chance were forbidden, for example dice....but I believe they made a distinction when it came to games of skill, as long as it wasn't for anything of considerable value
