I think it would be better if we weren't playing for money :p: I just bought a new monitor, I don't want to lose more!

free money poker is crap, the crux of poker is making decisions on something that matters if its free money people will call anything and not calculate whether they SHOULD call or not. The only use of free money poker is getting used to the platform your playing on. Once you start playing for real money even very small amounts like $1 or $2 tournaments you will see a massive difference in how people play and there will be a lot less bad beats

true true...but it also boils down to why your playing...I play for fun whereas others play for profit. there is a difference i agree with playing playmoney and real money but the strategy and skills involved are similar,
there's also a big difference in playing online and playing real face to face games as there's a lot more to consider such as tells, fake bluff's and etc...:)

there are such things as online tells. if you have been on the same online table for a while you can often sense how people bet if you see their cards enough times and even if you don't see their cards that often (how long they pause for after a reraise before they fold or go all in, how long they take to check etc.) you can also get a feel for what position they tend to call, bet or raise from. Obviously not a perfect science, such is poker but can give you a bit of an edge at crucial times in the game.

Lol, I can see it won't be easy to part you with your cash tonight jersey, looking forward to it and should be a few laughs.

Hope there is plenty of trash talk!

I think Stan 101 might be a bit of a tricky player to read too. Fortunately he can't use his ASF avatar, pity, it just cracks me up... Like Glen and the smoking baby, too funny for poker :D

I've put some money in at full tilt - not used to the platform yet just had a quick go and blew my play money (all-in on AK didn't work lol). - hopefully be able to sit in tonight, if not, next week.

Seems the room is not available after the start. Does this mean that anyone cannot join in later?
