Reav,
I love PokerStars. It's just for fun for me right now. I seem to do well in the 5/10 no limit hold'em tables, but this is just play money and I realize that. I enjoy playing in local tournaments with a low entry fee.
I enjoy the rush of playing poker, esp when you catch that A high flush and need to extract as much $$$ from the table as possible.
There's some serious correlation between trading and playing poker as evidenced in the other thread, so it's a nice transition.
Let me know how it goes if you start playing for real money on there as I'd like to know how that goes. I'm tempted to give myself a little 'allowance' from my trading income to put into a PS account and see how it goes... |

I am with you on that one man.
Right now I like Bodog, and will check out pokerstars as well. I am definitely no expert, as I just started playing. But seem to be doing alright. See, I was thinking that once the confidence is there to start playing with real money, then we as traders will have an edge just for the simple fact that we have already cleared the "real money" hurdle for the most part...you know? We have learned to make decisions in spite of there being real money on the line....one of the main reason traders and gamblers fail, the money causes them to act irrationally....There are more reasons I think someone who has been through the Trading Crucible and survived can have a major edge on the other players...Of course at some of those sites, especially Bodog, since they're a sports book, you'll have a bunch of psycho gambling addicts who can really throw money around without batting an eye. lol So I guess it all depends. lol
I'll definitely let you know how it turns out. Like you said, I was thinking about in time giving myself a little allowance to see what happens...exploit the real money edge as a trader, if it can be found to exist...so far it's just a theory. But hey that would be a nice side income and just plain fun. Especially if we could get some of the guys here in a room and compete (play money or real either one would be fun).
