Online Poker
Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 5:04 pm
Just wondering about online poker.
I've been bored through the summer and turned 18 recently so started playing poker online. Do any of you guys play? For money? Where? Have you made any serious cash through it?
I deposited $40 (£20) a couple of weeks ago and I'm down to $25 now. I've only ever won anything once, lol. The other night I finished 34th/688 and won $2! Entry was $1, lol. I'm playing on pokerroom, but I haven't properly tried any others, although I wouldn't mind trying betfair poker (because I use betfair for the occasional online bet and it's UK based, unlike pokerroom).
I heard from a few people that playing online for the odd couple of pounds/dollars is OK, but when you start playing for 10's and 100's you start getting conned by tables full of people who can all see each others monitors, not like I'd ever play for serious amounts of money anyway - I'm not addicted (yet)!
Any thoughts?
