Poker is a brutal game Cap. A lot like sports gambling. I'm with Dr. stale here, solid poker wins over time. Variance is a bitch, You have to ride it out. If you continuously put urself in +EV situations you will profit over time.Comment -
still laughing doctor;; i ve gone for weeks with no flops;; bluffing is kindergarten cause everything gets called;; if u made money enjoy it cause u will give back x 10;; glComment -

stick to the play money to learn!Comment -
Cap, where are you going with this?? Because you have had a bad experience it means it is impossible to win?? Almost all tourneys pay out top 10% or better, so your numbers would actually be 20 out of 180 make $$.Comment -
Months without a flop????? what are you talking about?? bluffing doesn't work because everything gets called??? Maybe you just have to learn how to play, your argument gets worse and worse with every post. What stakes are u playing??Comment -
just so u know i have finished 3rd of 300 in tourney play but online is a joke is my only point;; the algorithm can shut u out for 5 hrs;; i ve seen repeatedly;; i once finished 3rd in a 300 tour by playing 3hands;; thats bs;; won 300 tho ;Comment -
Cap I'm sure you were just making a point but to say you came in 3rd out of 300 playing 3 hands the whole tourney is impossible and ridiculous to say.Originally posted by cap10Comment -

u seem like i decent person;; i am just sayin that after 8 yrs at b365 ; partypoker etc its the same thing;; how can u win money if 90% of players lose;; just sayin i gave up;; doesnt matter how u play;; algorithm determines the winners via horrible beats;;; u will get there ;; guarenteedComment -
Uh, by being in the 10% that win?Originally posted by cap10
Yeah most people lose over time, that's how the house makes its money, but unlike craps or roulette you can overcome the house edge by outplaying other individuals. I've made money over the last 6 years doing this, I doubt I'm suddenly going to give it all back. Sure there are droughts and at times it seems rigged blah blah blah, but that stuff seems to conveniently slip your mind when you win. If you've been losing constantly for 8 years and you still play you've got your own issues.Originally posted by Dark HorseComment -

my last comment;; i was not kidding ;; i played 3 hands in a 200+ tourny and finished 3rd;; i went all in each time and won;; i couldnt play any other hands cause i got only 7-2 and j-3 pp or so;; stupid but true;; i used to think it was a viable game but its not ;; i repeat;; of the 90% losers i know there are tons of very good poker players;; if u are silly enough to think u are anointed to win most of the time will laugh for a long time;; cause u will be donating;; periodComment -
Cap, I'm not a great player, prob break even over time in online cash games, ate a TON of bad beats. I completely understand where your coming from. Many do win though, I have friends who basically only play online. Online does seem much more volatile, couldn't say for sure if it's an algorithm as you speak of, I would say it's just because you see sooo many more hands. Cash game and tourney are 2 different worlds. If your playin cash your not trying to beat the table, just take advantage of the few weak players or +ev situations.Comment -

I've doing just fine at online poker. I guess that makes me a cheater.

I will give one tip for free.
Bluffing at the lower levels is often a -ev play(any tournament or cash game less than a $100 buy-in) unless your read is spot on.
Noobs will call you down with A high and bottom pair. Calling your all in's with any pocket pair regardless what is on the board is common. Which also makes it profitable...
.
Bluffing is an advanced play made when you know your opponent well enough to make it work. It takes proper note taking, use of software like poker tracker and a lot concentration. Then you need to plan it and set it up. Just bluffing for the sake of bluffing is a losing proposition. Poker is not like you see on TV. If you are unwilling to take notes or to undisciplined to study your opponent, you will lose at poker.
Online poker is not rigged. You are just losing to better prepared opponentsComment -
Putting your money at risk at online poker sites is a real problem. With established cheating schemes like super accounts at Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet, if they want to take your money, they will. Without real regulators or legal watchdogs overseeing these people, they will do what they want.Comment -
Jon that scandal was a HUGE deal and is old news. Those sites are floundering and original owners dodging jail time. Go ahead and try to set up multi-accounts at tilt or stars or cake. Tell me how long it works out for you before they freeze your $$ (never give it back) and ban you for life.Comment -

lol ^^ You can only expect to win the tournament 1 out of 180 times if thats the playing field and your a average player. SEE A FLOPComment -
Online poker is absolutely brutal and designed to make you tilt. I have ran $50 deposits into 5-6k over 6x in my life out of not to many more tries than that and never walked away with a thing. First of all, cashing out is horrendous. They don't ask any questions with the money coming in but if you want to take it out, it's a hastle. Also, it is designed to make you run up a stack and then put you on stone cold tilt. They don't want any money leaving their threshold, and they can navigate that to actuality more than you would think. Unless you are an absolute wizard when it comes to money management I would leave it alone. Btw, IMHO, if you can't see the person sitting across from you than call it something else because it aint poker. Better to stay away from it online indeed. Now if you are a solid player and have faith in your skills, play live: It's more fun anyways, you can be social and not holed up on a freakin' computer for hours, and can make READS. That's what the game is all about, it's a skill game with a lot of luck, just seems like it takes more than luck to be profitable over the long whole via the internet.Comment -
i have been earning enough to pay 4 beer and cigs off of bodog i got ps in my sights and ft to go next you got to read the players bets if they bet big fold if you have a med hand i f you got a good hand bet that bit#$ but be carefullComment -

Does card counting in Blackjack work with online casinos?Comment -
If this is true then you are a complete degenerate and the problem isnt with poker, it's with you. I have never had issues with cashouts from reputable poker sites, including: Pokerstars, Full Tilt, Paradise, Pacific and Bodog. Sounds like its a problem on your end chief.Originally posted by steady hustlinOriginally posted by Dark HorseComment -

Hey Guys..If you decide to play online poker, you're probably best starting out at one of the most popular online poker room.The bigger sites offer beginner tables, and have freerolls for new depositors. Also, big sites have the most games running, and best customer service.So all depends you ..where you signup.Comment -
Lol @ bad players claiming online poker is rigged...Comment -
Ittakes a ton of patients to play poker, both on line and at a club. What you hav to realize is that you can sit for an hour and not play one hand. It is just as important to know the players you are playig against as it is to get good cards to play. Positioning is also critical. As far as sites, I play at many of them, but PokerStars and SpadeClub are pretty good. SpadeClub keeps track of players records, so you can tell if you are up against a new player or a player that has had success.Comment -
i play on true poker but is small, they say i could maked more cash on a big site dunnosbrComment -

i just started with online poker myself, i played full tilt first and it was ok but every deposit after your first one is 30$ minimum...if you have that much to drop every time you need to reup (or are that good and dont need to reup) then full tilt is probably the best looking, best run...i have currently been playing pokerstars and just in the past couple of nights playing .02/.05 no limit i managed to turn 10 bucks into 60 so i mean it all depends on your bankroll and experience. the min deposit for pokerstars is only 10 bucks though so i am sticking with it, a lot of scrubs on there too lolComment
