      Re: weekly poker game?

      We played last night buy-in style. 10 bucks buy in, get 20 chips. Basically each chip is 50 cents. I had to rebuy again, and I came away with 24 bucks. So basically, I made a 4 dollar profit. At the end it was me and this other guy playing heads up. The time limit came, and we both were up like 40 bucks, but we decided to play one more hand.

      Basically, we put a lot of chips in, and he called me all in, and I didnt wanna lose it ALL (I had A-7 with like a pair of 7's on the table) so I just folded. I went from being able to get back 60, 65 bucks, to only getting back 24.

      I like tournament style better, because like.....there's actually a way to know "how big a bet is". It's more structured. With tournament style, I feel like I play more calculated and know what I'm doing more. With buy-in, it's easier to lose money, but easier to win more too.

      I dont know, I'm just mad at myself for not just folding on the last hand that I played. Couldve kept 40 bucks.

        I do to.

        I also like knowing how much I am going to lose going into it. Like, if my friends and I play a $50 buy in tournament, I like that. But if we just play NL table, I could keep losing, more and more. But I usually come out on top.

          Yeah, tournament style limits the BS because once youre out, youre out. People tend to play smarter.

            we raise blinds usually about 45 minutes to an hour... it's not really a set thing... we do an hour limit on rebuys and almost always the person who rebuys is real quick to get out again.... just got back from playin tonight took home 15 (net 10) for second place... pretty good cause i was down to four chips at one point with 11 guys still left.

              I usually play once, sometimes twice a month with about 8 of my friends...always Hold Em, usually $5, sometimes $10 buy-in.

              I usually end up winning too...there are advantages to not being a worthless teenage drinker.

                  I just had another awful suckout on Poker Stars. All-in Q's versus A/8 and the kid catches two 8's to knock me out.

                  Just uninstalled Pokerstars and downloaded Party Poker.

                    you know ehh, the software isn't out to get you, its more likely just bad bad luck. While you're losing, someone else is winning.

                          Oh I know, I'm just saying that it seems like looser players have a better chance of winning on Poker Stars. I play very tight/agressive and I almost always have the better hand preflop and get screwed.

                          I understand the whole thing about luck, etc but I've gotten screwed on SIX straight tourneys. It's a lil outta hand.

                          Plus a few of the sites have forums I was checking out, and it seems that Full Tilt and Poker Stars are notorious for having alot more suckouts than Party Poker. We shall see.

                            its quite possible, Party Poker and Empire Poker seem to be the most fair to me.

                                No online site is "rigged." Although I've seen on more than one occasion on Absolute Poker, one of the cards that I folded preflop show up in the community cards.

                                If you play $5 SNG's, look out for the rake on Party, it's double that of Stars.
