Pat is that you in the picture ?
if you go and play looking like that I feel certain you'd win everytime no matter how bad your hand is,

Good Luck

WHOOOOAH there Tiger

If she would like to contact me I would be more than DELIGHTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spent most of the day yesterday playing poker online and was having a bad day. It got to the point where I wondered why I was wasting so much time when I could be doing something else. Then I flopped a straight and a nice person with K2 decided to give me all his money. Then I remembered why I like this game

Why on earth did this opponent think they could bluff you out of this ? All they had was King high and any Ace or your pair of 7s would defeat them let alone a straight.


Paul

I have no idea what he was doing and I don't think he did either. He must have been either drunk, on drugs or under 3 years old to play it that badly. Hope he is a regular player, I could do with more opponents like that

I know I'm only a beginner but it seems to me to be the next step up from the funny money - where people aren't really playing hard is the tiny 2 - 4 cent tables on Noble poker. Can't lose too much. It's amazing how quick it can trickle away though on the $1 - $2 tables.

Have you tried 'sit and go' tournaments? I found those a lot easier than the cash tables when I first started.

The 2-4 cent tables might be too much like the play money tables. I can't take that level seriously. I like the 10/20cent nl tables on the tribeca platform. You can take $40 to those tables, just enough to hurt a bit when you lose but not enough to make it too painful. The no limit tables are good because you can reduce the number of players seeing the flop when you have a good hand. Sometimes the limit games are more like no fold'em hold'em. They also have sit and go tournaments starting at 10 cents.

I thought I would be clever and get a bit of help from the software advertised on the web. Unfortunately I was already signed up with Party Poker so missed out there. I then downloaded Shark before getting an account with PokerRoom.com. It doesn't seem to work. Apparently incompatible. Their graphics are poor too !
So sticking with Noble for the time being ( ultra low stakes !! )
Made some and lost some, about evens after 15 1/2 hour sessions. Quite encouraging I think.

If it's not been mentioned before, www.pokerindicator.com software works with PartyPoker, Pat. Nice bit of kit it is too.

Thx Frugi
I'm giving it a try. Takes 24hrs to sign up to Empire so will let you know.
My inability to use Shark and Hold'em Analyser may have been my own incompetence or not ......
