And btw poker is not like starcraft. if you play starcraft like you play poker you will play BGH-FFA with 7 players and surrender 75% of your games before they even have started just because you are spawned at the wrong position. And I dont think many players play like that.

1-Playing starcraft you can learn to get good at doing a lot of stuff at the same time( for multi-tabling)
2-You have incomplete information and you must guess as best as you can what they other will do in thier building order( read the other player).

I was just wondering, im sure it has been mentioned, but what poker sites do alot of you play on? Which is the best for a beginner, i mean, i play in real life as much as i can, probably every weekend all weekend and like 2-3 time during the week. I've been playing at PokerStars.net, but i wanted to get some different opinions...
|
is there any page anyone can redirect me to where it comes to all these expressions "tilt" "bad beat" and so forth... most of them i can guess but i'd still like some 100% correct definitions....
thank you
|
and also thank you rekrul, really nice post... i hope you make more posts in the future about your poker playing :D
was just wondering how much of a difference it is (skillwise) between playmoney and the real shit, so to speak? i mean... i've been playing with playmoney for a while and i'm doing pretty good (getting a grip of some strategies and so forth) but am i just fooling myself? like is there a big difference?
thanks

Another quick questions... is there any time limits? I play some poker in real life, and since we're all friends we let each other take their time... but it's not like "you must place your bet in 5...4...3...2...1..." is it? :p I mean, those tournaments, they must be somewhat time based, I guess there could be a good betting 'time' of like 3-4 minutes else you are kicked for being idle or something 
|
on pokerstars you get 15 seconds and then a 60 second time clock activates
and then your hand is folded if the 60 seconds is up
if lets say u come back at the 15 second left mark, next time it actives you wont have 60 seconds, it'll start lower so it takes time to 'replenish'
and if u crash
u have a couple of minutes to come back and not lose your spot in a ring game, but if its tournanment you'll just be sitting out and losing blinds

yeah there a time limit of a littil over 1 minute
|
oh yeah, that's another thing i forgot, what if you crash :p doesn't sound too too bad though, and i doubt that happens often right?

in those tournaments people on your table can call the clock on you, from that moment you have x amount of time before you hand is folded

Rek, great post. Very informative.
Can I ask if you read any books along the way in your development? If so, were they helpful for you? I am currently reading Sklansky's Theory of Poker which I got with FPP on stars.

Yeah Rek what did you red?:>

btw what i don't get is if poker can be so rewarding, why don't firms develop super poker computers and have them play at these sites and make tons of cash?
