In the cage
I started playing poker about a month ago, and since then I've moved on to online play for real cash. Early last week I deposited 30, and have since turned it into 150. I have found the game to fill a niche that was once filled by a much more expensive card game *cough*magic*cough*. Not to mention I feel like I have a natural nack for the game.

And anyways I was just wondering if anyone here plays. I was wondering if anyone had figured out a way to read some of the online players. If I could tell what half the field was doing I'd feel much more in control of the game, for now the only tell I get is the bet, and it's hard to spot tells on a bet.
 
You suck at poker. I can botally byeat u. srlsy. I bet you 988882282882828 dollars that i get a n ace of spades.
 
Never played online.....cuz of the fact u can only read what cards they play.....and body language (which tells u alot) cant be seen online....

Its much more fun if u play w/ a group of people.....much more strategy involved....

so to answer ur question.....I dunno:)
 
where do you play, mister cage? i'm quite shit, but it would be interesting to try. and if i got good i must say that i quite like getting money when it requires little effort :)
 
Are you drinking bourbon and smoking a cigar while you play?

No?

Then you're not a real man.

(by the way, I know what cards you have. Sucker.)
 
I play with two different groups, one on Friday night and one on Sunday afternoon. My Friday night group has excellent players. Sunday is full of younger players who are very easy to sucker and bully around by being aggressive. I usually do quite well, won $140 last night :).

For online play I play at PokerStars. Watching how people bet and how long it takes them to bet you can usually get a good idea at what they have. Also looking at how they bet compared to what size thier stack is can tell alot also.

Suckering people is my favorite strategy. Last night I flopped 2 pair and hit a fh (queens over fours on fourth street). Checked all the way through. River was jack and I saw the chip leader (had only 25% more then me) liked the river and made somethuing good which was a straight(9-K). I called all in got called and then alls I had to do was bully the remaining chips from him and the other person that was left.

A good place to really learn online play and strategy is to play the Sit&Go tournaments on PokerStars. Just dont even bet on first 3 hands unless you have a high pocket pair because all the suckers try to all in at very beginning and it is very likely to get out drawn.
 
I'm not a fan of poker stars... too many big random occurances happen way too often in big pots.

I play on Absolute poker. It's not really that hard to minimize the risks, such as going into low stakes games, and things, then only betting on the premium hands and trapping inexperianced players and takin their loot. I was just wondering if there was a way to be a bit more accurate with it. ( I suppose take notes huh )
 
Poker is fantastic. We play a few times a week. 2 weeks ago I won a $600 tourny (and haven't won anything since, besides $30 last night). Normally we play $10 or $20 tournaments, but sometimes stakes get much higher. Personally I don't really like online poker. It takes the psychological warfare out of the game. Lots of my friend play online, and most of then are good players, yet they still lose at the end of the day. And I will only play no limit Texas Hold'em. Good luck you sharks!
 
I play for fun on truepoker.com.

If anyone plays that do a search for "thehood" and say hello.

I normaly play holdem.
 
Poke her till all her chips fall out her pockets.

Or just poke her in to the river (sorry such bad pun)

me too - for me, it's the most beautiful card game.

i generally play about once a week at home with room-mates and friends. we either play a $10 buy-in game or we play a couple or three $5 tournaments. i like tournament play.

i played in my first casino poker tournament recently and came in 25th place - not in the money but it was a thrill playing in a casino environment.

i usually play no limit omaha on pokerstars. my name on there is starsglowin, so if anyone plays whatever on there, find me sometime.

ive never played in a tourny w/ people that i dont know. i would love to though. i played one tourny on pokerstars and out of about 7000 people, i finished 155. i was happy w/ that.
