  1. Could we just do it with 10? I play in a 10 person fantasy league and it's still fun. Teams are a little more loaded.
  2. Here are a couple of things I've noticed playing online. I've noticed if somebody limps or does the minimum raise (.25/.50 they raise to 1.00) from early position they have a big pair and are begging to be raised. It's about the only time I simply call preflop. Another thing I've picked up on is if you're in the blinds and everyone folds to the button if they raise less than 3 times the BB they are trying to steal (.25/.50 they raise it to 1.25) I always reraise no matter what cards I have and whether I'm in BB or SB. I would guess that 90% of the time they fold to my 3 bet. It's been quite profitable.
  3. Yeah that sucks. Monday night was similar for me. I've been playing .25/.50 in zone poker online. Very fast paced so you can win/lose quite a bit of money in a short amount of time. Buy in $50. I had worked my way up to $90 and got JJ. Villian had KK. Flop 910J. I read it correctly that he had a big pocket pair and I raised his bet on the flop. Turn was a 5 and he bet again and I raised him all in. He thought about it for a long time and called. River was the Q. He had me covered too. Rebuy for another $50, build my way to about $70, have 10 10, villian has 55. Flop was 347. He bets, I raise, he calls. Turn is a 10. He bets I raise, he shoves all in and I call. He hits the 6 on the river and also had me covered. Even though I had made the right plays and gotten my money in as a big favorite, I couldn't help but get tilted and lost another $50 before I quit for the night. So yeah, Monday night -$150. Tuesday night I start playing again and build my way to about $70. Get dealt 66. Flop is 446 with 2 diamonds. It's a 3 way pot and we all have between $65-70. Player one bets the pot and player 2 raises. I'm sitting there with a full house. So I call and player one shoves all in! Player 2 calls and I obviously do also. Player 1 has 45 and player 2 has AK of diamonds. I hold on and triple up. I made up my losses from Monday in one hand. Variance sucks. Getting your money in as a 80% favorite means you'll lose 1 out of 5 times. It's a bitter pill to swallow but it happens. Play solid poker and in the long run you''ll make money.
  4. I've been playing on Ignition. They have Zone Poker. 6 handed you are instantly moved to another table and dealt a new hand as soon as you fold. So there is no down time. It's quite addictive. I'm getting in around 150 hands per hour and am playing at .10/.25. Day 1 +$75 Day 2 -$100 BOO! Day 3 +$50
  5. I'm just googling this stuff, but 2 different sites claim BetOnline is legit and it is ranked in the top 5 for US poker sites in both traffic and credibility. 2 sites to avoid are Carbon Poker and OddsPoker https://www.cardschat.com/poker-site-reviews.php
  6. Looks like there are 2 options that get a decent amount of traffic. ACR and Ignition. ACR is similar to the sites I used to play on back in the day. You have a name that everyone can see and if they have the tracking software, they have statistics on every hand you've played and can use that info against you. I used to have the software and once you learn how to use it, it can be quite helpful. Ignition is anonymous, so the tracking software doesn't work. You just have a numbered seat. Both sites are available to be played on mobile devices.
  7. Nevermind. A quick google search says you can play from a mobile device or Ipad.
  8. I believe he was referring to the value of bitcoin, not anything against coinbase. Coinbase is regulated and based in the US, so I wouldn't be afraid of using it. Sucks not being able to play. Is ACR the only option out there? I might have to sign up if this drags on much longer. The only problem is my home PC is old. Is it possible to play on an Ipad?
  9. I played a dumb hand. AA, made it $10 to go, BB only caller, flop Ax 8x 2h. Check, check. Turn 4h. Check, I bet $10, he calls. River 10h. He bets $30. I call, he had the flush (7h5h). The only time I slow play is if I have a straight flush or quads. This is why. You never know what giving a free card is going to cost you. Luckily I read the situation correctly and didn't raise.
  10. How would you guys play this? 1/3 $300. Stack is $600, you're in EP with AcKs. Raise it to $10, very good reg on the button ($1000+) and BB ($200) call. Flop Ad 8h 7d. I Bet $20, button makes it $75, BB calls.
  11. I played again last night after the disaster earlier where I got felted twice with a K high flush and a smaller full house once. First 15 minutes I get 4h4d in CO. Flop 3c4c4s. Quads. There were only 2 of us and he was BB and bets into me. I call. Turn 5c. He bets I call. River 6c. He shoves all in. I mean really? After getting felted 3 times my last outing I was sure he had the 7c. I called. He had Ac3s. Phew. Wound up getting another $100, so profited $400 for the night. I
