|

I gotta rant cuz I'm a moron, plus you guys will be the last person I bitch to about, then I'm over it and I'm going back tommorow lol!!!
As some of you know I play poker. So I'm at the casino yesterday and playing good. Up a little over $100 in an hour. Played consistent for the next 2 and finally catch a good set of cards. A 5 hearts in my hand.
Decide to play this hand. So after 4 cards I have two hearts in my hand and two on the table. I think I am up against 1 person. She checks and I raise the hand to $8.
She folds. I think I won, so I throw away my cards getting ready to collect the decent size pot.
As soon as I throw away my cards I look up, at the corner in the end of the table there is another guy!! I'm thinkin wtf? Where did he come from?
Did I just really throw away the whole pot to the guy on the end of the table? Yep! He takes my pot. I had him beat the whole way and never saw him playing. He turns over q 4 hearts for a queen high flush. I just threw away an ace high flush.
Ugg I still have no idea how I didn't notice him either after the whole time, it's like he was invisible.
Bonehead move, so I pick up and leave with only $40 profit instead of another rack of white chips and up $100. Ok end rant!!!

Nah he can't cheat, there is a dealer there who watches over everything, plus most of the time other players would notice too.
Just like on pokerstars each person has to call the bet or check, it all goes in turn. Which is why I have no idea how I missed every signal there were 3 players instead of 2. I must have just been totally zoned out.
Are you doing good? I have been playing in the $1, $2, $3 and $5 tourneys and boy has it helped my game alot. Its a cheap way to see alot of hands and get alot of practice too

Heh I am still preparing myself to enter real money games on play money tables. I usually manage to have more chips on the end of each session, but I think these play money tables are different from real money, ppl risk too much and dont think about bets. There is always someone who put everything in before cards are on the table (I play Omaha)...
I remember when I played with those dollars you gave me some time ago, it was much harder than playmoney tables.

Omaha is a hard game to master. I still don't like it lol.
I think your best experience will probably come from cheap tournaments. Or try the cheap sit n gos too. I think they have $1 - $1.50 omaha ones. The reason being is because if you play penny or .5/.10 limit real money people are still kind of crazy, because it's only a penny or nickel raise...
You have to play dollars to get a real feel for the game.

Hehe, real hazard . I will have to look of there are some casinos near me lol.
I will try what you said, just need to get enough courage hehe.
I like Omaha better cos I think its more fun to play it. I learned my friends how to play it, like half year ago, and now everytime we go to pub, they take cards and we end playing Omaha like 4 hours in row lol. For small money of course.

HEHE... Poker is great.
I think that is one of those poker lessons you get now and then.
It like leading through a tourny the whole time. Owning all.... then in a matter of minutes you tilt and finish 1 spot out of the Kash....
Done that... a couple times... lol
