A serious thread about online poker

The thing with heads up games on Pokerstars is usually end up playing with people who float every single flop.

For 50 dollars I'm not 3 betting with 4-5 off though, you're just looking to get punished. Then again if you have a gut feeling, you have a gut feeling. I've bet out with Q high on an AK board just because I felt he had trash, and was right. Sometimes you just know

it's ez to rationalize why ur play worked and why ur such a SICK player but in the end this is what matters. i don't think this is BBV4L so post ur BBV elsewhere?

on one hand thats why i like poker, cuz IRL everyone talks shit and never wants to back it up, but then on the other hand winning money turns everyone into a douchebag genius so it's like stfu. if u were really SO SICK u would be playing higher limits.

Just checked thread.. But yeah I'm only joking with those comments about me being sik, it was pretty arrogant of me to say that.

I'm actually not even that good, I just play fish in HUsngs, have a very small edge against most of the regs (if any at all) and one day hope to move up.

The majority of my bluffs don't work and in those hands I suppose I got lucky!

:)
 
Just downloaded pokerstars, big time player right here. I like how you can use real money or play money. So far i've been watching a few tables, going to get the feel for everything then jump on in.
 
Can anyone tell me how cashing out working with poker stars? It seems pretty easy, there's just some restrictions in the good old US OF A. For the most part is it easy to get your winnings?
 
I'm not to sure about USA players in Australia and I assume the same as the states it usually takes me just under 24 hours for the money to be deposited into my bank.

It's kind of dependent on how often you play there, when I first started I usually only deposited money on the site but when I did make a withdrawal it took about 1 week.
 
Cool, for some reason they make it so difficult to buy chips. So i'm just playing with play money right now. But that's good to know that cashing out is relatively easy.

I cant believe some people play with 40k on the table, rich bastards lol....

Some online poker is rigged. I use to play at Party Poker until the U.S. govt shut it down to U.S. citizens. I loved playing there & collected some good money but after they closed, I switched to Full Tilt, that site is shady! I dont play online poker anymore, I just bet on sports.

In what way is the site shady?
 
I love the game, but it brings out the demon in me like no other game has ever done. I guess because you're usually playing with 8 other people and the odds are pretty good that there's a high rate of douchebags and assholes playing. The bad beats rip out my heart and feed it back to me tiny bites at a time. The reasonable folds that would have turned into winning the pot had you stayed in just one more hand. If this game had come out in the 1800s, the body count in saloons would have been massive.

Plus, I don't trust technology enough to not always suspect that I'm getting fucked over by game itself. I'd rather play with real cards. Anyone here actually win good money on any of those sites?

Define "good money."

I have profited around 50K in my "career" online. For the number of hours, it amounts to a very modest win rate, but still........

I have checked my database of hand histories, which totals close to a million hands. There is nothign out of the ordinary. No one has ever been able to produce data showing any anomalies as far a that goes.

The cheating issues that have occurred had nothing to do with the cards, but rather, collusion, trapping, team play, multiple accouters, and in rare cases. someone hacking the system to see people's hole cards. But there is zero proof that draws hit too often, that bad players get "luckier", or any of that stuff.
 
Have had a few friends hit decent in some tourneys recently online (all use UltimateBet). I save my playing for house games and the boat. On a losing streak recently, someone recommend a poker read (Supersystem???)???

Yes, read Super System. Then get a time machine and go back to 1985 when the book might still be relevant.

Try any of Harrington's books. They are well-written and informative.
 
Sik graph Muzzard, looks like your totally owning the games.

Harrington's books are very outdated and a lot of the material from them is actually not very useful for online poker these days.

It's good I suppose for live players who are just starting and want to know the basics but since the game is getting so tough over the past few years, especially online those books are useless imo.

Your best bet is to go to Deuces Cracked which is an updated online training site where winning players/coaches add videos every day.

And the cheating scandal basically involved people who owned the site at the time Absolute Poker who were logging in through the system and seeing their opponents hole cards.

They got busted once this guy kept calling down with T high for 30k pots lol.
