PartyPoker

my cousin plays poker online.. but i duno if he uses that, and yes he plays for money bcos he says if ya dont then people jsut mess about an go all in on every hand

i like playing poker, but i would never play online for money

hmm its not just about 'reading people'. a lot of the time it is about being familar with each player's style of playing, knowing how they bet and so forth.

Normaly you cn learn this during a game, but there tends to be methods of betting which gives you cue's on what is happening.

I occasionaly play poker at the casino, though the odds realy suck (very stacked in towards the house's advantage) but I enjoy it.

I enjoy watching the Scottish televised poker, the american world series poker is bloody annoying. if they cut out the interviews, the lights flashing everywhere, the cameras being pushed in front of people and all the 'flashy crap' then it would be enjoyable. but thats american tv for you. The Scottish one was so much better done. Its done on a table with glass where they have to place their two cards on squares so the camera can show you whats going on. also the commentary is actualy useful.

As for the online ones, on one of the american world series poker ones, on the final table one of the guys had spend a couple of years playing on line before trying his hand in the tournaments. i reckon he learnt plenty from on line. not sure which site he used, may have been the site that brought the pope's car and the holy sandwich.

hahahaha nice. Man scottish sounds awesome, i wanna see those glass tables :-D :P

i play party poker and truepoker.... i find truepoker better
and i only play holdem

that online guy was fossilman (dunno his real name).. but being good online can be a whole different thing in real tables, depends how u r i guess..

true i spose, though watching while watching the american one, its obvious that the bet a person makes helps people decide what type of hand they have and whether they could beat em. I spose the body language is more about determining if they are bluffing.

Exactly, it's less skill and more luck.

It's actually much harder. Seeing peoples ticks and having constant conversation makes the game much easier. It's less about luck and more about card counting, which in my opinion is much harder to do.

"more harder"? interesting. . .anyways, i didnt' say it was easier, i just said it was more luck. :-D

hmmm i would say luck has a larger factor, though i still wouldn't discount the issue of dertermining what a person has by how they bet and how their style of play affects their betting and bluffing. There's more than one way to read a person, not just body language.

your right.. 43 u thinking of doing it or not? just curious...
