Article about safety of poker sites.....like we don\'t all know
If you've got time it's a decent read. Maybe even a good laugh - especially love the tips from Darren and Hilary...
[ QUOTE ] Odd betting amounts: Betting an odd dollar amount can require the use of several different colors of chips. Darren says he thinks people use this trick to make their bets appear bigger. [/ QUOTE ] ...because I usually take time to count the chips instead of reading the little number.... It's all right here |

Re: Article about safety of poker sites.....like we don\'t all know
Playing poker online differs from playing in brick-and-mortar poker rooms in a few ways. Moneymaker points out that playing online can be a lot less intimidating than a real-world casino, where the smallest limits are often $3/$6. The biggest problem he sees is players who try to sit at tables where the stakes are too high for their cash flow.
"I'd tell a new player to just play your bankroll," he says. "That's generally 40 times the big blind." So at the $3/$6 table, that would mean having around $240 to play. _______ Retard. |

On every site i have ever PL or NL on,(like 4..), they use $5 increments minimum for bigger sized games. It is DEFINITELY a function of typing in a #. I do believe there is somehting to the "more chips" theory tho, but not much. I don't think it makes people fold more, but if fish think it does, fine by me. As said by OP, I always look at the #, not the stack. |

I actually do that every once in a while because it confuses the crap out of people... like betting 1.82 into a pot of 1.50, people have no idea what that is
