The official No Limit Texas Hold 'Em thread

Anyone who uses a mac play on carbon poker? Real money $$$ games motherlickers good stuff!
 
Fucking DOJ, makes me sick.
Not saying FTB didn't fuck up as well

I fucking loved playing online poker, made a nice amount of money too
I even made some really cool friends at a play money table who I haven't lost touch with over the years

I used to love just coming home from work some mornings/nights and playing until the sun came up, smoking bowls and what not
Not anymore :[

I still play live when I can and they're actually building a casino 20 min from me so that should be cool
But it still doesn't beat the luxury of online poker
 
One time bump

Holy shit, I thought this day would never come
I just found out that:

As part of its agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), PokerStars has obtained the assets of Full Tilt Poker, and will use these assets to re-launch the Full Tilt Poker site. PokerStars has also committed to the full reimbursement of funds owed to Full Tilt Poker customers outside the United States by November the 6th. United States Full Tilt Poker players will be reimbursed through a remission process conducted by the U.S. government.

We will set aside a separate account holding the full amount to cover all outstanding player balances outside of the U.S. and are working diligently to re-open the Full Tilt site to facilitate the payment. This process will take time as we verify account ownership and balances and work with authorities in the relevant jurisdictions to ensure that we can return funds in an efficient and effective way. Going forward, Full Tilt Poker will maintain a segregated account with more than enough funding to ensure that player funds are fully available for use or withdrawal at any time.

Full Tilt Poker is now licensed by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission, which enforces the most stringent e-gaming regulations in the world.

We understand that former Full Tilt players have many questions and we will strive to answer as many as possible as soon as we possibly can. Below is an FAQ addressing many initial questions. We will continually update this FAQ as more information becomes available.


I'm so fucking happy right now, it's 19 days till they launch FTP again, even though I didn't have any monies in my account I'm just totally excited to be able to play there again be it play money or real.
I never could stand playing on jokerstars
 
^ According to them, everyone will be paid back in full
So I think you're in luck
 
i have a very bad habit of bluffing high then losing i just need some advice with bluffing
 
what do you mean by "bluffing high"?

i find, when it comes to bluffing, most people fail because they've not told a convincing enough story. there's also a tendency for a lot of people when they've fired two shots, to over-bluff at the end when it can just look like you are trying to buy yourself out of a bluff gone wrong. you also have to play the player you're up against and consider their range and what their bets are telling you.

your own table rep. is important too - if you get a couple of bluffs called down and lose, people will remember those hands so if you're using the same gear every time, you're going to get called every time.

can you walk us through a hand where you lost?

With bluffing firing on each street is can be essential against decent players. Many regulars will float your flop bet just to see what you do on the turn and river.
