Online Poker

Postby LouisvilleLip on Sat Jan 08, 2005 5:32 pm

Any online poker players around here? I just started playing Texas Hold'em a few days ago with http://www.pokerstars.com im new to the game but I understand all the rules, strategy etc. I just play with fake/play money at the moment since I have no experience with the game.

If you do play, I would like to hear where you play and some stories about big wins, losses etc.

I started at 1000 chips, got up to around 20,000 so I decided to move up to a higher stakes table, a few good breaks and I was up 50,000. From there on a got a lot of crap hands, folded early lot. I finally got a couple decent hands decided to go for a lot a couple times and I ended up losing some very close hands. I got the dreaded pocket queens so I went all in, never got a single card to help me on the river and lost it all. 50gs down the drain. Now im back at the beginners table lol.

I used to play Paradise Poker before. I don't do that much anymore though.
I was a little bit addicted to it even though I wasn't that good at it. And now that you mention it, I shall return to my addiction (thanks a lot :wink:).

If some people are intrested maybe we could set up a turnament or something like that with the NLSC... (y)

I think most of those internet poker programs require that your over 18. Whether it's with real money or not doesn't matter, It's still gambling I think. I'm not sure though...

r00fles. You got pr0n3rz0rz on your desktop :shock: ! Are you blocking any type of ports or anything. Do you need to connect online to go against or to hold records or what? Maybe something is preventing you from connecting from your host.

I'm a pretty decent poker player... I've made some money at casinos here in the US... problem is, I'm not 21 yet so I can't go to the good casinos here. I did play Poker Stars before, but I don't play too much anymore.
