coale39 Posted 27 November 2006 Posted 27 November 2006 How likes it? Who plays it? Online like me? Where do ya play?
OBO Posted 27 November 2006 Posted 27 November 2006 Pokeroom.com I've not ventured into betting real money online yet. If I did it'd probably not be on this site. It just has a good layout and selection of tables and you don't have to download anything to play.
lcfc_jme Posted 27 November 2006 Posted 27 November 2006 Like I posted previously, I play on Pokerstars.com, as does sheephead
Rincewind Posted 27 November 2006 Posted 27 November 2006 partypoker. Its getting worse. they have a lot of bad beat tables and they take a percentage of the rake from you to pay for it. Thing is to get the jackpot you need to have a minimum of 4 X 8 when you lose and you have to use both hole cards. I only play on the 50/1 tables as kendud. Had a couple of bad months According to my brother who is coaching me I should be beating the other players. I have paid more in rake than to other players. Its just that I play one or two hands badly and that ruins the stats. A good player wins at the rate of 2/3 big bets per hundred above his stack. So one or two bad plays makes it difficult to recover. The pros say that in the short run Holdem is all about luck but over a longer period the more skilful player will come out on top and luck evens itself out. So by the year 2252 I will be a millionaire.
coale39 Posted 28 November 2006 Author Posted 28 November 2006 Im personally am on totalbet.com. No complains. The reason why I asked is that normally I play Blackjack but wanted more of a challenge. Some im playing Texes Hold'em Fixed. Ive lost a bit but im getting used to it more and more!!! Does anyone play any other types of poker?

Does anyone play any other types of poker? I play Hold Em, Omaha/Omaha8b,occaisonally stud and sometimes 5 card draw now pokerstars have added it. I play at Pokerstars and Full Tilt.
Rincewind Posted 28 November 2006 Posted 28 November 2006 I have one or two poker books if anyone wants recommendations. Just two of them. About to play a session now. How can I allow encrypet images? I'm having to click to allow every time.
New England Fox Posted 28 November 2006 Posted 28 November 2006 Frankly, any book by Sklansky is worth reading, as are all Dan Harringtons books on tournament play.
Alexikokopops Posted 28 November 2006 Posted 28 November 2006 I have one or two poker books if anyone wants recommendations. http://www.launchpoker.com/books/advanced/...ystem-2-big.jpg http://www.holdemtight.com/bk/2-2/smallsta...smallstakes.gif Just two of them. About to play a session now. How can I allow encrypet images? I'm having to click to allow every time. If you want poker books it's my housemate you need, he has a library of them, and has Poker software for over 20 different casinos on his computer. He mainly does Pokerstars and Ultimate Bet, and VC Poker for the free Student Free Rolls where you compete as Universities. We were having fun pissing about on PKR just because it's 3D and you can sit there and do actions like Laugh Out Loud and stuff when people lose, and get your person to shout "Loser" at the others even when you lose. Hours of fun.
Rincewind Posted 29 November 2006 Posted 29 November 2006 I got the PKR CD with a magazine. The animation is OK if you play for fun. It's off putting if you take it seriously. I've turned the images off now on Party Poker and I sometimes turn the chat off. I've seen the student challenge tounament on one of the digital channels (Challenge 135 NTL) Some of the ones I seen need to practice a bit more. Anyway I ended up winning yesterday which is not bad considering I was 12$ down after the first 50 or so hands.
New England Fox Posted 29 November 2006 Posted 29 November 2006 Played a tourney on Stars yesterday and came 27th out of 910, not bad going but should have been even better if my AQ hadnt been knocked out by an idiot with A4.
Rincewind Posted 30 November 2006 Posted 30 November 2006 just checked my emay and if I refer someone and they make a deposit using the code TAF15 then we both get entered into a tourney. need to be done between nov 29 and dec 6th. this is party poker btw.
Filbert_Ross Posted 30 November 2006 Posted 30 November 2006 i stick to ladbrokes poker, and dont bother with 'play' money whats the point??

Thracian Posted 3 December 2006 Posted 3 December 2006 Roulette is the future. Love it! Had a few good holidays on the back of roulette.
Alexikokopops Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 Tomorrow my mate flies to the Atlantis Casino & Resort on Paradise Island in the Caribbean to take part in the Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure tournament, all paid for with spending money thrown in. I wish I was that good at poker, bastard.
Alexikokopops Posted 8 January 2007 Posted 8 January 2007 My mate just finished 172nd in the tourney he was at in the Caribbean, he won $9,889. So for the $22 he paid to enter a tourney which then won him the place in this big tourney he got a free holiday to the Caribbean and £9,889. Not bad for $22. Bastard. When he gets back he's buying me a drink.
