|
By:

|

By:
same here mcmoonbeam, that's why I don't play poker much
I always think of it during the day when am day-dreaming at work but when the evening comes, I don't have the time for it since it's simply too boring in a 9 man tourney, say I'd win it, the tourney would last an hour and 15mins............the first 50mins bore me to tears I can afford a $50 tourney maybe twice a week, but I'd think I'd be wasting it |
|
By:
but think of doing MTT but I need to find the time, it can be 3/4 hours? The only day I could possibly do that is a Sunday
|
|
By:
that's why i play turbo's mainly & multi-table
it is fun i think if you don't have to do it .. then it becomes a chore $50 can be quite tough if you're not used to it mate .. i'd play $20 if i was you |
|
By:
i play higher too but there's a diff between 10/20/50/100/200
|
|
By:
2.50 is for people who can't play though :)
|
|
By:
and that makes it harder tbh
|
|
By:
I've read that $5 games are meant to be easier than $2.50 games
as in $2.50 games there are a lot of half decent players who aren't rich I understand about the turbo thing, but do you think a couple of minutes difference per blind raise makes a difference? what do you think you are better off in "skill-wise" turbo or standard or does it matter? |
|
By:
it makes a diff if you're playing to make money as i can play more games /hour/day
a lot say they're too quick but if you play properly you'll win or lose the same really so why wait an extra half an hour .. don't play super turbo's though & i don't play here turbo's are more aggressive yes .. but you can still play them quite tightly & the best players always last out the bad players |
|
By:
they 'think' they're good players .. so why haven't they made enough to move up ?
|
|
By:
well if you feel the best players always last out the crapper players in a turbo then there's no point in playing a standard tourney
Yea I've played a couple of super turbo games, ridiculous they are really, theres no way a decent player could make a living out of that but I won't be one of those who'll want to seek out a living via poker, again as I have said, it's great working where I am, and have no intention of wanting to stay at home during the day |

Mc Moonbeam 10 Jan 00:41
they 'think' they're good players .. so why haven't they made enough to move up ? The $2.50 players? who knows? maybe they withdraw after making £50 and start again? For example, take it you have a player that works outside for a living and only has 3 hours to spare for his life in a week-day, but doesn't want to use all 3 hours on the poker? There's all sorts of people in life I suppose |
|
By:
i've never liked work tbh
never had chance to go to uni so can't get a job good enough for me :( do you earn a good wage there ? |
|
By:
then they're Fun players then ... that's fine .. i don't mock them at all .. it's just the truth
tbh some high stakes players are terrible some guy won a $1 world record tourney over new year for 30k he blew the lot on high stakes cah in an hour or so :) |
|
By:
am happy with my wage with my job mcmoonbeam :)
again depends what people think is good money, besides, sky's the limit regarding promotion avenues guy won 30k on a $1 tourney and blew it all on cash tourneys? even I wouldn't be that**y |
|
By:
no at high stakes cash games .. he'd never play more than a few dollar tourneys in his life !
|
|
By:
cash games i meant sorry
well he's one of them, wins a big tourney and thinks he's c0ck of the north and happy to play high stakes games looks like he got his comeuppance |
|
By:
yeah exactly.. just shows how stupid a lotta people can be
some people just never respect money & it can be easy on a screen i spose .. same on here |
|
By:
