MattM4 0 Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Matt, you should play online, quickest way to learn, even if its for fake money. 175055[/snapback] can you play online though against other people for fake money? all I've been doing so far on PartyPoker is try the trainer mode.... 175056[/snapback] In the party lobby the play money games are directly underneath the poker trainer 175058[/snapback] cool. seems like we have quite a few connaisseurs around then, I'm gonna train myself up then, so I can rob my mates of all their cash oh yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34330 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 spongebob, how up are you since you started playing this? Is it easy money (playing bad players), or do you have good/bad days? Loving the way the fish got schooled earlier on in the thread btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 3594 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 this year I am up $3500, though I am currently on a 900 dollar downswing which is a bit emotionally disturbing. There is a lot of money out there if you can keep your discipline, play within your bankroll and ride out the inevitable periods of bad luck. The mistake a lot of people make is moving up in stakes too quickly after a bit of short term success and losing it all quickly. I am still playing at low stakes, I mainly play 10 or 20 dollar buy in 10 man tournaments, and I have had months making over $1000 profit even at those stakes.

Gemmill 34330 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Cheers spongebob. I like the idea of playing but I can't afford to lose any money. Guess I should probably wait til I'm a bit more flush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 3594 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Just shove 50 dollars into pokerstars and play the micro limits, they have tournaments for a dollar, or cash games where the min bets are like 1 or 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34330 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Is there a training room you can go to first to work out how to play without being a complete mong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 3594 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Yes they have play money tables. I like to play the ten man tournaments (sit and go) because once you have paid for the tournament thats it, you dont have to worry about losing any more money.

Toonpack 6806 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 One of my best mates (a Yankee) goes to Vegas 3- 4 times a year to gamble and my favourite advice he gave me for when/if I go (sometime) is: "if you sit at a table, look at the other players and find the jerk, and if you can't spot him......it's you - leave" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34330 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I love Vegas like, but I've never had enough money to really do much gambling when I've been there. Some of the people knocking about the place though - Jesus wept. They all look about as healthy as that DevilFish bloke, and with similar fashion sense.

Gemmill 34330 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Sounds like a canny trip. Does he get comp'd a suite and all that malarkey?

I just got an access denied message on the work computer because of the gambling link. I've only ever stayed on the strip - proper Vegas tourist. Stayed in a "junior" suite at the Paris hotel once, which was massive, so Christ knows what a proper one's like. Assume a B suite is similar.

They have an A suite, then the B suite is humungous, the BEST one is a Signature Suite which has 2 bedrooms, double humungous Just gotta convince the Mrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
