Poker

^Youre supposed to, if youre a certain type of player. Thats the whole point of having a chip stack, to use as a weapon. To play loose and make people fold, or to gamble on a coinflip situation. You can do that or play tight, but thats a different style of play.
 
I prefer to use my big stack as a weapon, to gamble sometimes on what I think are 50/50 situations preflop, or to call draws post-flop.
And I agree, if youre winning at a table, the conditions are right there, and their is no reason to leave. Not to mention, its hard to leave when youre winning at a table (thats why you play), but beyond that, until someone shows that they can outplay you at a table, there is no reason to leave.
 
but if you let yourself build your chipstack from your original buy in to around 6 times the buy in, except for a few players, the whole table in going to cycle through. you wont be facing the same players. unless you see the people with a lot of money making stupid moves, i dont see how this table is going to be an advantage over the one you get into tomorrow.

I still say its best to play conservatively until you build your stack, and after you win a big hand, just log off. you always end up in the black this way. most people aren't going to be able to effectively win money in cash games by coinflipping. all in preflop has its place, and its best reserved for tournament poker to make moves towards the end when the blinds begin to increase.
 
^^^Well I only play small table tournies, or mult table tournies. Its too tough to switch from one specialty to the other. Thats why most guys are strictly one or the other for the most part. Hell if ya'll want to play who plays online. I play on Partypoker mainly (most fish), and my name is Delt23. I usually just play 2 or 3 $20 stt's at once, or some big tournies, but Im up for whatever, even big limit cash games, or a private table if someone just wants to lose money to me heads up.=D =D =D .
:X :p :o <------------------this is what you feel like when Im done with you. . .
 
Here's an interesting hand I had the other day playing a heads up match for some decent change:

One on One Seat #2 is the button
Seat 1: Jackal99 (1260 in chips)
Seat 2: HobbyIsBowling (1740 in chips)
HobbyIsBowling: posts small blind 10
Jackal99: posts big blind 20

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to HobbyIsBowling [Qc Qh]
HobbyIsBowling: raises 20 to 40
Jackal99: raises 20 to 60
HobbyIsBowling: raises 1680 to 1740 and is all-in
Jackal99: calls 1200 and is all-in

*** FLOP *** [Qs Qd 6h]
HobbyIsBowling said, "gg"

*** TURN *** [Qs Qd 6h] [Ac]

*** RIVER *** [Qs Qd 6h Ac] [As]

*** SHOW DOWN ***
Jackal99: shows [2c Ah] (a full house, Aces full of Queens)

Anytime you guys want to set up a game and a time to play with fake money (each person starts off with $1000) on pokerroom.com, let me know. We could get a table going, 5-7 of us at least.

Free play, no software to download or anything like that, all you have to do is register a name with an email account. That's all.
 
I know how hard it is to organize something on here where people are dependent to participate, but how does Sunday night look?

I can explain how to log on, and find a table/screen names later on if you life. Anyone else interested?

Sunday is good, what time on sunday?
 
Let's shoot for 8:00 EST sunday evening. Familiarize yourself with the free play at www.pokerroom.com . We'll play in the 'Medium' room somewhere, this way you start off with $2500 and you can only buy back in once or twice, I forget.

We can pick an empty table. I will upload some pics now to show you what to do once you have registered on the site.
 
Im playing right now, if you want to hop in.

Medium level, table Caloocan.
 
We have 4 confirmed

  • Tanuki_23
  • shahab6
  • me
  • alasdairm

Anyone else?

I'll be in one the empty 10 person tables at 8 o'clock in the medium level rooms. Scan through the names at each table and look for mine: jason2510 I'll try and come on here and post my table, etc.

See you then!
 
I play on PokerRoom all the time. There are two different play money servers. You may need to log in and out several times to get on the server you're looking for.
To discourage team play, there is no 'search for a player or table' feature
 
I've never had a problem connecting, I always get on within 2-3 seconds.

Looking forward to playing! :)
