Anyone on here play for real money online?

I play exclusively on Full Tilt Poker.

I don't know what it is about online but I always get my money in with the best hands and get sucked out on when the guy has like 2outs and always seems to hit them.

I prefer playing live in sit and go's though over playing online. Playing live this month alone I'm up almost $1k.

I dunno, I can't get into online poker.

To me, the best thing about poker is the human element. Sitting at a table with other people, trying to figure out their tells. Talking in between hands, the atmosphere.....

I just don't get any of that with online poker. Same goes with any card game. I'd much prefer just playing with some buddies live.

True. I just play low limit sit and go's online. I've only bought in for $100 total and needless to say I've almost lost it all. I love playing in person though, I don't know what it is about it but I have to play at least once a week.

I didn't even know you could play for money on-line.

Is that legal?

They passed some thing where banks aren't allowed to transfer money to sites that are known to be gambling sites. But there are ways around it like certain CC's you can still use like how I do it. And then in any states where there are casinos I'm pretty sure it's illegal. They are trying to overturn it now because poker isn't really gambling, its skill.

One time I played on party poker and lost $20 in less than 5 minutes.. Once is enough for me! besides its a lot more fun in real life with friends sitting around the table playing $1 a hand, BSin and having a few beers.

I just started playing again last week. I put $100 in my poker stars account. It's really annoying though, because as Rambo said, I play good, solid poker, and people keep chasing against me with bullshit and making their hands.

Case in point: I was playing 7-card stud and the 4 cards I was showing were 2 aces, a king, and like a 7 or something. I had a King in the hole, so I had two pairs, Aces and Kings. Plus, it was in plain view that I had at LEAST a pair of Aces, but probably more.

This guy stayed all the way to the river with me with a pair of 4s, and then caught a 3rd 4 on the river. Absolutely ridiculous. There were one or two other hands like that where he rivered me, too. And the worst part is, he obviously sucked, so he lost all his money, but basically, he took my money oon those bullshit suck-outs, and then lost it to the other people at the table.

Very frustrating

I'm the exact same way. I'm more into reading people, and sometimes opening myself up to something, only to reveal later on that I was totally fucking with them.

My friends do say that I have a few real fatal flaws in my game. Not so much by how I act, but it's more with my game play. Total over confidence on two pair.

My friends and I are again trying to plan to go to Vegas. I really want to get out there, and play.
