After too many boring nights in I decided to look into online poker sites...

Al I know is 888.com and Mr.Green those two seems to be the best

Anyone plays online poker? Is it like the real thing or it misses the "luck factor" playing at a real table??

No money? I can't be sure but the poker sites I mention use real dough, they even offer you free credit something like 50 bucks when you join... I need to check

I used to play Poker..

I used to play Poker..

Many years ago when I was in the Army I played a bit. I'd wait until the table was full of winners.

Texas Hangem - I had a buddy and we would bet up the pot when we had good hands, almost like cheating.

Now if I go to Vegas I play Blackjack. I've been asked to leave a few times.

I can't see playing online with no real $ or looking someone in the face.

Best of luck Gamblers.

Bitcoin poker, with free tournaments throughout the day which pay in bitcoin. Each bitcoin is worth 1000 chips, minimum withdrawal is .02, or 20 chips.

Many types of poker, including OFC. Multiple tournament styles and levels, sit and go games and multiple tables for regular play.

I have issues with the client, on occasion, and the gameplay is brutal. Very different to not be able to see faces and where internet and server lag time can change a players actual response time. Chat ignore feature works well enough.

This is really off subject but is a pretty simple inquiry,I've heard so much about bitcoin and know absolutely nothing at all about it.Is it measured in dollars and cents?Do you get it through your credit card?Is it really for real?It must be I've heard so much about it.Thanks I probably should've started a thread but I'll look like less of a dumbass to fewer people doing it here lol.Thanks for the info peoples

It's real
They're worth $2,500USD each (today's price at preev.com)
Every transaction is publicly listed with ip information of origin
They're the result of mathematical encryption algorithms
You can spend them in increments of .00000001
There are sites you can buy bitcoin from with your credit card

localbitcoins.com Stay away from pay-pal transactions, keep cash transactions to a reasonable amount.

Contrary to the news outlets, bitcoin is not anonymous. You CAN use it anonymously, with significant effort, every transaction is still publicly posted. Use any of your anon bitcoin for known business, anonymity of any past transactions with those bitcoins has been lost, back to the beginning of the account.

I play quite a bit of poker. Not real good but I play anyway cause it's fun. I play over at Poker Stars. They have a pretty large selection of different types of poker games and it's possible to win some BIG money.

Let's wake this thread up... :)

Have any of you found reputable sites to consistently play at, the last few years? I'm looking for a site or two with stable software. Big ups to any site which works under wine in linux. :)

How does that work ?

You must have been up 10K or more.

Or were they just watching you play & realized you would bankrupt them.

Online poker has significantly changed the landscape of all poker today. Live poker is limited to a maximum of around 35 hands an hour (ish). Online, playing multiple tables at a time, some players see upwards of 2000 hands an hour.

Gameplay has changed significantly and online play is getting fierce, even at the lower stakes. ;) Live games are now more likely to have an online player present. The significant change in WSOP entries the last few years shows the surge in popularity.

Go to youtube, watch a few videos on the subject. I use it for sports gambling, harder to trace to these off shore sportsbooks. Most banks have stopped allowing Bitcoin purchases on credit cards but do allow debit cards and bank account transfer. Coinbase is the place for you to start..........

I used Texas Hold'em software for year. Got pretty good at realizing you can loose it all in a flash many times before you win huge pots, only to loose it all in a couple hands an hour later.

Online would eat me up. I'm way to aggressive.

Indeed, there was a time you could play limit poker HU and make good money against recreational players. These days, the HU limit arena is riddled with really good bots. Even then, you only have to make fewer mistakes than the bot.

With no-limit texas holdem, you only have to make one big mistake and your whole stack is gone. Love it. lol
