      Won't be joining in anytime soon, if at all. Extremely busy with my move at the moment. And I don't really play for fun anymore, I play because I have to make money. Been playing online almost daily for more than 6 years now, and I'm quite bored with the game. But I want to start studying again next year and I doubt I can find a better and nicer way for me to make money than this untill I finish that. :P

      Just turned $50 in to $1000 in heads up cash games while waiting for the Champions League to start. Might cash out $800 and keep some tournament money in there.

      Played with friends a few times, hardly good at the game at all though.

      Saying that, might get a bit of practice in and have a dabble online when i get the time. See how i go!

      For anyone looking to get in to poker, best advice is to watch and listen to the pros. Hear their tips, how to play strategy etc. It's an easy game to pick up the basics of heads up and tournament strategy, but it takes only a few to master it.

      I've watched a bit of late night Poker on weekends and picked up a few things, often a little drunk at that stage though so we'll see how much i recall :D

      Just came back from the casino. Won couple hundred quid.

      Had a cooler, AA VS KK and the aces held. I got em back later though.

      Just tuned into the United game, eh what a farce.

      Played a mate one on one Texas Hold em for tenner.

      He manages to get Royal Flush, 3 three of kinds, a four of a kind and a full house in 2 games so wins a tenner.

      Both games were fiver each! How unlucky can I be.

      I lost last game with 10 J Q K A to JJJKK :(

      Nice one  :gt-happyup:

      You got so lucky on that river, a 1 outa and you hit. 50/1 odds of that happening, love it!

      I used play poker professional a couple years ago, I stopped as I got a job that paid me more then I won. Still play it, not as often as I would like.

      46:1.

      Well, 44:1.

      One on one, 8 cards exposed in a 52 card deck means 44 cards remaining and one of those is J.


      Don't know how i haven't seen that yet! Remi Gillard is brilliant :lmao:

      My two cards, his two cards and 4 cards on the board = 8 cards. 52 - 8 = 44. One of the 44 cards remaining is a J. 44:1.

      I hate bad beats:

      My 9 8 club suited v K 10. I raise pre-flop heads up. He flat calls.

      Flop comes Q J J.

      Check and check.

      Turn comes Q J J 10 giving me the back ended straight, but giving him multiple outs to trump me (A J 10 9). Of course an A comes on the river and my deep stack has quickly turned in to something that would resemble a smashed pillar in Ancient Rome.

      Gutted. I can never win the races that you need to really kick on and win a tournament. I always get blown away by a flopped full book or a river saves their arse. Oh well, still loving the game.

      Going to try my hand at Omaha. Need practice first so might go in to a shitty cheap tournament or low stake cash games. Watched Patrick Antonius win 1.1m bucks in one hand of Omaha so naturally i develop a keenness to try it :D

      Two types of players in Texas Holden Aggressive=go all in with the smell of a ace, or the Reader sits calmly and lets everybody else bet and then swings into action and cleans out the pot.

      I played cash games for the last three Years on Paddy Powers.Most i won was 4800 euro.Lost about the same very addictive.
      Play it now on facebook got upto 123million and then my account was hacked and lost the lot.Fuckers.

      There's aggression on different levels, though. Some are aggressive pre-flop on pretty looking hands, some are after the flop to play a strong hand. Then you have readers who are tight and play big hands only but then hit and turn aggressive.

      If there's two types, i would say it is tight v loose players. Loose players that play any hand the same way or tight players who are patient and look to pounce on big hands.

      I'm all round. I like to pin-point each player's style for the first couple of hands and play on it. If i'm heads up against as tight player and see a flop that i can use to my advantage regardless of my cards, i'll pot raise as a standard play and see what they do. If they call, i'll respect their hand. Maybe one more raise and if they call again without me hitting i'll probably back out unless a draw hits on the turn and maybe push them off a high pair with a bluff flush/straight. Then again, if i'm playing against a loose player and i hit big i'll check in to them every time and let them make the plays. If they raise flop, raise turn and check river without any draw on the board then i know i can bet on a high pair to get them off their hand.
