Good night people! All right? I am an amateur poker player, I use poker as a hobby, but I intend to make it a profitable hobby. I am an online poker player and play with my friends in person, but without much money involved. I would like to ask you who have experience and play both ways, what is the main difference between playing online and facing your opponent looking eye to eye? Thanks and hugs!

Was not really keen to get too involved here multi way with the underpair, then rivered a full house.

Folded to the shove as it just looked like villain (12/8 over 27 hands) slow played a monster to me. Just too bonkers to be doing that with anything besides AJ, AA or JJ. Seems a bonkers move with a flush that made it on the river, but of course this is 2NL….

What would you do?

A mate told me that some players tend to take a lot of time to slow the game down in a big tournament. The idea is to wait for players to go out to have a better chance of reaching the prize spots.

Is that a strategy worth taking, or does it spoil the fun for the rest of the players on the table ?

Poker should be fun. Probably fun only if you win something perhaps. 😀

Good night people! I’m about to start my journey in face-to-face poker, face to face, eye to eye. I would like, if you could, that you give me tips on what I will find, how to behave in the live tournament. I would like tips. Thanks and hugs!

Good night people! I want to dedicate myself a little more to poker and I would like to know from you what is more worthwhile: paying for a poker course or investing my time being self-taught and go on applying what I learn. I know that in both choices I will have to dedicate my time, but I wanted to know your experience and what was best for each one. Thanks and hugs!

Hi, I strongly reccomend the poker novel “The Only Way To Play It” from Peter Alson.

The author was one of the co-authors of “One of a Kind”, the great bio of Stu Ungar. And also wrote “Take Me To The River” from his personal experience in the WSOP 2005.

His first poker novel is very real and entertaining. We can read about the underground poker clubs of New York that reminds me to the movie “Rounders”. It’s also about parenthood and how to deal with a conflictive father.

Only $9 on Amazon. One of the best poker books from 2020 and one of the best poker novels I read with “Shut Up and Deal” and “King of a Small World”.

There are tournaments where the prize is very low, the time of each player’s turn also implies in the execution time of the tournament, would it be convenient or not that the time of each player’s turn is reduced in tournaments with low prizes?

How did you guys get into playing online Poker?

I got into it by watching some famous Poker players stream on twitch. 😎

I don’t get a big stack advantage very often, so I wasn’t sure how to play this spot. I would appreciate any advice on how to play this hand.It’s about halfway through a 5 hour late registration $0.11 Freezeout.

I am in the BB with A10o and a healthy 180 BB sitting about 3/80 with about 2.5 hours of late registration remaining.

UTG with 13 BB limps into the pot.

It folds down to CO who shoves 21 BB.

For those who have (or have) problems with the handling of the bank, who woke up with the idea that today I will not play more than 2 tables, or today I will not play something outside my limit or if I lose up to $ 10 % of my bank I retire and at the end of the day we did the opposite. I have heard about the book “mind control” (I have not read it because I am not fluent in English), I also think that the Golden child created an app that pursues mind control. Now is it possible that through ignosis (I don’t believe much in this) or some kind of audio meditation, these goals can be achieved?

??

The pocket pair you hate to see when there is alot of action before you?

God bless America, how do you play this turn/river? :hmmmm2:

CO: 506.16 BB

BTN: 88.96 BB

SB: 100.4 BB

So I just installed the new update for PokerStars and during play of a grand tour right at the end when I go all in I get this warning message, yet nothing appeared to disconnect and game flow was not disrupted.

Strange. Any Ideas what this is?

Has anyone been actually disconnected or unable to act after seeing this message?

Hi all, new to this forum and fairly new to poker, been playing low stakes and some low buy in tournament poker for a year or so now and want to take my game to the next level.

I’ve been looking a a few of these poker pros online coaching courses and was wondering if anyone has used them and found the beneficial? Also what one people would recommend and if they are worth money?

Look forward to hearing from you 🙂

Yesterday I went through the first day of a two-day tournament. After finishing day one, my stack is 500k (average 730k). There are a lot of places in this tournament paid (480 out of 540 players and no more will come).

My question is how do you think i should start playing in my situation? Wait until I’m in itm and then aggressively or start harder right away?

Yesterday I got an update from PokerStars, and now I can no longer get the old light classic display by deleting the insides of the ImgCache folder.

Now the contents of the ImgCache folder get regenerated each time you launch the client, and even if you delete them after the client is launched, they regenerate when you try to open a table.

They patched it quickly.

I cannot emphasize how much I hate the new Aurora engine, and especially their decision do completely disable the classic display despite it will cost them little to nothing.

Just wondering why it still says 1 day for the million dollar race to end ? Yesterday at around 11 am it said 1 day remaining and today at almost 10 am it still says 1 day.. I got lucky and withdrew $260 and still had a bit of money on there as well as a $25 poker card so I used all that trying to rank up a bit.. I think I did not do it properly because my points never added.. anyways it says as of now I’m gtd $70 but just wondering how all this works and what the actual pay out is because I cant see it.. thank you !

ACR flagged my debit card for no reason and now I cant deposit any funds. I have used my debit card a number of times with no problem and now they flagged it and wont even tell me why. They said I could use Bitcoin or player to player transfer. None of my friends play so i cant really play any more. Is anyone willing to transfer me like 20$ player to player and ill give you like 30$ through PayPal.

Hello everyone, how would you play this hand? It had 90 bb of stack, so the final decisions do not influence much in terms of cash.

We have no villain readings.
