I played a few times 10 years ago and watched a documentary on poker champion Stu Ungar once.

I played Bovada and getting money from them was worse than pulling teeth.I used to play Bovada all the time
Their Blackjack was a joke. I quit playing, what a racket. If you hit on 13 or 14, I swear a 10 or face card came up 90% of the time. It was insane.I played Bovada and getting money from them was worse than pulling teeth.
I also played live for a time, mostly down at Rside, donkey tourneys were a weekly thing in the winter as a way to kill time.
CSB- In Vegas, I went to Binion's and closed the poker room down as I took everyone's money. I won't say how much but it was a significant amount.
Your mom. I regularly poker.
Playing online seems way too risky to me. I don't trust I'll get paid, nor do I trust the software they are using. I'm sure there are sites that are legit, but I'm also sure there are many more sites that are set up to Eff you over and take your already deposited money.
I would trust WSOP, GG Poker, PokerStars, and WPT for online poker....their rep is everything.
No reason to not be legit....online poker is like printing money for them after the software is written. People go online...play...the get a rake or part of the tournament by in for you using their software
My only concern would be people at the same table that are together in person. Or does that not really happen all that much?
I play way to much...online, cash in Vegas, tournaments around the west.
Thank goodness this didn't slide past post #2, well done @Funky BunchYour mom. I regularly poker.
How can that happen? Wouldn't that mean there are 6 deuces in the deck?They top sites monitor for collusion...not saying it doesn't happen or hasn't happened. A big ring by some big names was busted just a couple of years ago for dumping....and they are all black balled and had their money seized.
They have programs that are checking for everything....a big one they are constantly fighting against is software GTO solvers. I know GG makes no bones about it that when their program is running it is checking to make sure you are not using any solvers on your computer.
People that cheat and collude get greedy and get caught....it isn't that hard to find a patterns where people are dumping to others or is magically coming up with fold button when you have Aces full of Twos....when the other person had quad dueces.
The big sites probably spend more money on looking for something that is not right than on just about anything else.
GG Poker....WSOP Online....they host big money tournaments with the biggest names in poker playing on them. Hell its normal to see a bunch of the American players go to Canada or Mexico when GG has a big one (GG for some reason not legal yet in the US...though it's the biggest site in the world)
I play alot on ClubGG...owned by GG Poker...but operates differently.
How much have you won/lost in total?

Player as a full time job for 6 years, online.
Was an interesting experience, playing online for 14 hours a day, but also playing against some of the biggest stars of that time.
Won an entry into the WSOP, made it to day 3.
“Retired” shortly after, then it got shut down shortly after that.
After 6 years I cashed out with 23k, but playing also paid all my expenses for that time.
yeah, but you couldn't have Aces full of deuces and someone else have 4 deuces in the same hand. Right? It's a single deck. Am I missing something? Do they deal from a shoe?Almost everything is hold'em these days...the little that isn't hold'em is Omaha. Just on the flop you could have A22....with one player holding pocket Aces and the other holding pocket deuces.

I couldn't do it. I don't care how much multi-tabling I could do...I would get bored.....which is my one real destructive trait to my game.
Damn...I'm an idiot...thanks for clearing that up. Forgot about community cards.A22 on the flop are community cards....everyone plays those 3, and the following 2.
The only unique cards are the 2 in your hand when playing hold'em.
Hell 10 people at the table could have four Aces with a K kicker...if the board was AKAAA...in hold'em....not in omaha.
I was young, and dumb.
When it wasn’t my turn, I was reading about or watching poker. I was immersed in the world.
I wish I knew how many hands I played on PokerStars back in the day.
I cracked the top 200 ranked on there once, and that was a huge deal for me at the time.
Haven’t played a hand in years now.
LOL...this is why I never got into any of the big tourney's down at Rside, it was the grind I had no patience for.I honestly have never counted....I know I am up by a good bit in my life...how much who knows.
I am going to start working on playing in bigger tournaments...have only played in two multi-day tournaments and cashed both....but that is a grind from hell. 12 hours + straight of you make one mistake....or get a bad beat....you are done.
Fairly similar group of 5-6 about once a month. $250 buy in.About 8 of us play poker at each others houses every other Thursday. Dealers choice. We play with a joker in the deck which is an ace or a 9. Five aces is the highest hand. High /low split pots, .25 with 3 raises till last hand is 1.00 with 3 raises. Bad night you could lose 50 -60 bucks. None stop trash talking is the key to the game...
Yep!Your mom. I regularly poker.
Only good omaha now is at the Wynn and Aria (and the Orleans i
I personally hate gambling of any type. One of the biggest wastes of time and money there is. Playing cards with nothing riding on it besides bragging rights is fine though.
If you think poker is gambling...please sit at my table.
