I don't have one anymore (I moved to SoCal) but I used to win 25% of our games, and place in another 25% (it was a soft game).
Are you the one taking the jackpot every tourney? Do you have anyone decent at your game? (There used to be this one really good guy, kinda reminds me of a Rip without the brain to back up the braun, but hell, aggression works).

It used to be the guy with the biggest balls.
Now everyone else has figured out how to play and he's not so good anymore.
Now its the guy who bought all the poker books and plays online each day.
I'd say I'm a close second though. 8-)

Last time I played a home game we only had 4 people, and I won it.
Everyone was pretty easy though, no-one there except me had read any books and they had never played in a live game before, although they play online every day.
You see, its kinda hard to find action down in south-east England, unless I can be bothered to get off my ass and go to London.

I win fairly consistently... anywhere from 2-3 out of every 5 games. I host the game, and half of us end up playing for about 5 hours. Some people cash out, but most of us like to play until one person's got all the chips. My style of play is similar to Sam Farha's, and I don't think most of the people I play with can handle that just yet 8-)

I'd have to say I'm about a 30% - 50% winner at our games, usually 4-6 man NL ring games, or we'll have a $20 buy in tournament, no rebuys or add-ons. Almost can guarantee I'll be in the money in the tournaments.
Usually it's between me and one other guy, he's got the mathmatical brain to calculate odds a little better than me, but he doesn't have the aggression I can bring out and he is very very likely to go on tilt if I can bust him up on one hand.
Home games are by far the easiest, Especially how we do, play with all friends that you've known for years, so you know how they act/react. Mostly fish, that's why I enjoy our home games so much

I'm third on the money list at our monthly tournament and I have not played in all events. Usually 14 -20 players of all skill levels. $25 buy-in. Freezeout format. Long game ususally takes 6 hours to finish.
In the family game, I started with a few bucks in change. I have filled my first bank and need to start another one. There's like $200 in nickles, dimes and quarters in there. I have everyone playing now-parents, parents friends, inlaws - we get a full table going NL w/ $.10/.15 blinds. Everyone is comfortable with those stakes, the most you lose is 10 or 20 bucks.
Started playing in the office on Friday afternoon after mixing a few martinis. Put a hurting on one of my bosses. We play short-handed NL $.25/.50 blinds.
I think I play too much poker.

Dude you are supposed to lose to the boss not take his cash...
Boss : "SteveO, I'm sorry Kid, I've got to let you go"
SteveO : "But why?"
Boss : "Because you keep busting me for all my $$!!"
