Online Poker
 

Any online poker players here? I play on a few sites, if any of you play, be glad to join ya or we can find each other.

Not me. I'm the world's worst card player.

I do like your new sig, though. :D

Not a chance, no way man.

Ah ha, a challenger for my crown. :hmm2:

It's not like it's for real money, unless you want it to be...:D

Lottery ticket purchases is as far as I go.

Just to be clear, no money involved, just pretend chips...I wish it was real, I'd be worth about 40 million....

I have paid to play with real money, but seems it ruins my game, can't play the way I should when I have to bet hard earned money...fold, fold,....

That is what I've heard from the few people I know who have played for real money...it's a different game then :03:

Money doesn't matter. I just don't need more proof that I suck. :dead:

You know what they say, when you hit suck bottom, you can only move up....

They say wrong. Remember the old saying:

They said "Cheer up! It could be worse!" So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse.

:har:

I thought it was outlawed in America.

I know it is still possible, but it is easy to rip Americans off from wins if it is being done illegally.

See my point?

I loves me some Texas hold em. But fear of being ripped off playing illicitly in the rare case I win big.

I used to for about 6 years until about 2 years ago on Ultimate Bet, Bodog, and a little at Full Tilt. Mostly small stakes No-limit up to $25 NL. Did a small amount of bonus whoring-moving money from site to site to take advantage of different site's deposit bonuses. Not a ton, but I added a little to my bankroll doing that. There are websites devoted to bonus whoring.

It was only a hobby. A hobby that made me a little bit of money though. :D When it quit being fun as a hobby, I pulled out all of my money. It just got to be too much like work.

I got out before the you know what really hit the fan when the Justice Department shut down some of them, at least temporarily. I haven't really checked back to see if they are up and running again. Not much desire to really get back into it.

I know for a lot of people it was more than a hobby. Judging by what people posted on some of the poker forums, some people were really good at it and made a decent living. I know I never had an inkling to sit in front of a screen playing multiple tables all day long. If the poker gods started crapping on you, things could get ugly.

Enjoy though! It is fun and as they say, Texas Hold-em takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master.
