To Internet Players: PLAY IN CASINOS!!!

lehighguy · #1 02-28-2005, 03:49 AM

I used to play exclusively on the internet. All the math based reasons (more hands per hour, less expenses) made me so anti-casino I didn't go for a long time. However, there are two really important reasons you should play B+M:

1) It's fun, online is a grind.
2) IT WILL IMPROVE YOUR GAME. Something about playing live burns the experience into your head. You can't just move onto the next hand. You remeber each intimate detail of the hand and what went right and wrong. It will improve your online play (especially NL).

4/8 live is also like party 50 cent.

Yes live poker is fun but live is more of a grind than online. Plus I can meow freely in cyberspace whereas at the Bellagio, i get persecuted for scratching the felt, leaving fur in the chairs and accidentally poking holes in the cards with my paws.

Meow.

We've known this now for some 30 odd years.

The great equalizer is the fact that you can still play many many more hands on-line which equals more profit.

I played at the Borgata 6/12 in late last December and it was *WAY* easier than the .5/1 tables, and more fun. Plus I actually go to use a read (only one though, reads are pretty useless because even if a person shows a read saying they have a good hand chances are they can't read the board and have the nut low).

I wish I could play live... but the pace is soo slow, that i turn into a GIAAANT LAG. and piss away hard earned online grinding $'s. anyone else have this problem?

Yeah but there are alot of people like me that never thought of going to a casino. For limit, it wasn't nearly as educational as NL. It has improved my NL tenfold.
