Title: Texas Hold'em Poker
Post by: Lennysaurus on February 01, 2011, 10:00:14 PM
So I've started learning to play poker, and I really enjoy it.  We should totally do an NZism poker night I reckon.  Have like a $10-00 buy in, and all meet somewhere and play.  Have a brewski or 2.  shit would be cash.

We could even just meet up online and play online using vent.  That'd be rad too.

Playing this on facebook just now. Dude in the room with some weird arab name is fully hitting on a girl in the room. "I like your pic cutie. PM me your phone number and we'll hang out" Girl says shes 17. Guy says hes 19. Go to the guy's facebook page and hes 43. Texas hold'em. Hunting ground for sexual predators. No wonder Len is getting into this.

Dude I fucking love poker. I haven't played in a while (since I got into fighting games and that became my main hobby lol).

I'm keen for some poker action.

Also, get us some Sky City cards Lenny. Believe it or not but something in New Zealand isn't shit for a change, and they actually use legit grade poker playing cards to the same standard as Las Vegas casinos. Bee cards, I believe?

Keen.

haha nah man I'm just learning atm.  I love the paralells you can draw between poker and street fighter.  Ben and I were laughing about it last night over vent, I would have trouble understanding.. then I ask if it's like someone mashing crouch tech, and he said yes, and then I knew what I had done lol.

I got 4 of a kind twice in 3 games last night. Both times were queens. I'm basically the best in the world at FB poker. Who'd have thought.
Title: Re: Texas Hold'em Poker
Post by: Lennysaurus on February 03, 2011, 02:14:07 PM
I had tripple queens last night at the flop.  Dude kept over raising my raise all the way to the river where he got to finish his straight.

Made me sad, but I guess I need to learn the numbers and stuff better for this game.

why not the weekend???

a typical tournament style game with 8 players can easily take 3 hours and being on a monday I dont see how many people would be keen.

Could play cash but unless your playing with a decent amount of money the amount you could win is fairly small and might feel pointless

Been playing a fair bit online at Full tilt poker.  Fuck it's fun.  At the moment I am losing more than I am gaining while I learn to put people on cards.  Sometimes I am calling when I know what the opponent has, but I'm just paying to see the cards so I can start trusting my reading ability.

One thing that sucks fucking hard, and prolly a big reason why I will go to pokerstars or party poker is that the betting button for full tilt makes me sad.  My fat fingers are not built for that thing, and I have bet the wrong amount a few times with really bad results.

So I have finally grown my bankroll enough to go up in stakes.  However, after talking to Euan and Ben and finding out about "Rakeback", I will probably start a new account soon.

I have been playing on fulltilt.com, but have found out that all the Australia and NZ events at the moment are being run by Pokerstars.  Now I am aware that I am far to bolo at the moment to even care about that, but wondering if it is worth it to swap over to them on a rakeback deal.

Been trying to find out from some of the people here at SKYCITY, but no one really knows.

Meh just rambling now...
Title: Re: Texas Hold'em Poker
Post by: Flash on March 10, 2011, 08:54:15 PM
I use rakeback pro on full tilt because they can link it to your existing account if you didn't sign up through another affiliate or something like that. And i don't think pokerstars has a rakeback affiliate.
