pokerstars

Recommended Posts

I've been having some fun lately on pokerstars. Nothing for real money (yet) but it has been fun playing online. I've always enjoyed poker and would love to get more serious about it some day.

 

Anyone know of any good poker blogs or websites to frequent? There was one blog I was reading but deleted the link by accident. This guy quit his job and moved to Vegas to play poker professionally and had a detailed blog. Maybe someone out there knows what I am talking about and can give me the link. And any other good sites, esp blogs, post them here. Now that my feeddemon is setup, I can quickly peruse these sites.

 

Has anyone here played professionally in any capacity? I'd love to play at the World Series of Poker just to say I did it. I know the odds suck, but you just never know. With a little lady luck, you can make some cash.

 

How about poker books or dvd's? I feel like a trader newbie asking these basic questions, but maybe those more experienced can chime in. If nothing else, finding a good poker forum or two would be nice as well.

 

Thanks for the help guys.

 

PS

I don't know if there's a way for us to play on pokerstars as a group, but if there is, I am in. I don't know enough about the software yet to see if this is possible or not. I don't know if you can make private games, have 'buddy' lists, etc.

I could not find a way to have a private game on Pokerstars. But, I think if we have a set time, and the right number of people to fill a table(s), we could just occupy one or more of the open tables...would be fun, but not private.

 

An okay book for poker, 'Zen and the Art of Poker: Timeless Secrets to Transform Your Game ', happens to be a popular read for traders.

 

I really like the this idea as a great way to possibly get to know some people here and just have fun!

 

I have tried many poker sites and like pokerstars best, I dont know why really, perhaps just the interface.

brown,

 

in pokerstars lobby, login of course, click 'requests', then 'find a player'

 

who you are looking for. I have tried this as i've not had a need to find anyone. I usually am in the 5/10 pot limit hold 'em. For a long time I would make good money/chips here and then lose them all at the 100/200. Now I spend most of my poker time at the 5/10 PL.

 

The interesting thing to me is that I go through periods of 'draw down' just like one would see in trading, but I always seem to bounce back. I guess thats why I like the 5/10 - still can make money/chips with limited risk to your main stack.

 

hope this helps and hope we can get a few people together for some friendly poker. won't quite be the same though w/o the whiskey and cigars but fun none the less....I'm in if you'll allow me

VV - I am game. You can probably guess my screenname over there as well. Maybe it's time for a new screenname for me. I like the 5/10 no limit. I seem to be doing well with that lately. Last night for example, I went to a table with $1k and left with $17k. That was fun.

 

Of course I have no idea how the real money tables are played and what to expect there, but it's been fun on the play money tables.

I used to play free roll tournaments at Ultimate Bet. I haven't played there for a while. I also played at Party Poker. I tried Poker Stars but their software was not as friendly. Mostly I lost money playing with real money.

I noticed on PS today that many tables have 0 players as they wait to get filled. If we set a day and time, there's a good chance we could all get in on the same table. The catch would be which table.

 

We could set a day and time and I can come back here a few minutes before and announce which table is empty and where we can try to play.

 

That's the best idea I've got.

 

Anyone interested?

 

If so, list your preferred days and times, preferably in EST.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
