Poker Face?

[Simon Pieman]

13mins $5.50 up. Not bad, hopefully it will continue

[Simon Pieman]

Calling it quits now. Bit of a mixed bag with the limit game so went for some pot limit action. Patience was key and eventually went all in on a hand to double my money. Ended up with $21.15 from starting on $10.05. Works out just over £5 sterling per hour played so can't complain and cured my insomnia too.

This is the guy i was playing poker against a couple of weeks ago. He finished 5th though and I knocked him out and finished 4th mwahahaahaa. :twisted:

He's won about $10,000 real money though, lucky fucker.

I'm tempted to chuck a tenner in and play real money at the moment. even if I can't afford it

[Simon Pieman]

I went down $10 the other day and called it quits. Couldn't scare someone off a remote straight draw chance on the river, despite my $5 bet  :-))(

Win some/lose some I guess, but this bloke rarely called to the river on a draw unless it was a free bet  :evil:

Not playing anymore due to skintness.

I play a fair amount. I've certainly improved in the last few months (mainly by reading up more and taking advice from players who have entered a few big tournaments). Give it a couple more years and i'll be a pro

Fiver up last night, not that impressive really.  Burnt almost all of my £27.00 stake early on with two glaring errors down to lack of concentration but made it back up with hard, aggressive tight play.

Pulled a House off the flop, played it weak with an initial check the other player had 3 QQQ and pushes it up with a raise of a couple of quid.

Limp in after a lot of thinking time and call his raise.  He bets five on the river I push it immidiately to ten, he thinks I've pulled two pair and tries to buy the pot with a raise that wipes my stack.

All-in - sweet as a nut.   :twisted:

btw has anyone here ever had a royal flush? I have not, though I saw one the other week. The highest hand i've had has been a straight flush.

[Ben Wah Balls]

I got a straight flush king high the other day, that's the best I've ever had.

[DMR]

I'm considering signing up for real money, what places does ya all use?

[Cookie]

I had a royal flush once a few years back whlst at Uni.

Unfortunately I played it a bit eager and everyone else folded so i ended up picking up the blinds only

[flammableBen]

Just got my first royal flush. first hand on the table. picked up a tidy tenner. probably could have milked it a bit more but some  fucker went all in and scared people off.

Any of you lot read this, interesting if you play online poker.

There was a 3 page article in the Sunday Mail magazine a couple of weeks back as well. One dude had 3 poker bots on different sites and was averaging a fair amount of money per hour.

I just played 3 sit and go tournaments and finished 4th,so just out of the money in all 3 of them. :x

On the last one I had pocket queens and went all in a queen came up and I had a full house but someone else had pocket aces and an ace came up so he knocked me out with a better full house, fucking annoying.

That's why I've gone off tourneys a bit of late a lot of those later last hands are down to blind lady luck.
