Wow, way to go Drax. I don't usually play card games anymore, though I used to play the ones Yahoo hosted.

My friend is $4,000 dollars in the hole right now due to online poker. So, I guess you're lucky

Your friend sounds quite crazy! I was only gonna put in a starting 50 and if I lost not put in anymore. Already transferred out my starting 50, so the 262 is all profit. I'm only playing with profit now!

EDIT: Also, someone is only gonna lose that much of they either don't know how to play and keep putting money in like a fish. or they're playing pretty high stakes and that's normal variance.

Didn't bother to read the whole summary....But way to go! :D

He's been playing almost ever day... for over a year. He's actually really good, but if you play enough, you'll eventually lose a lot of cash. But it seems to fluctuate.

If he's IN THE HOLE then he was playing out of his range. There's variance, but you usually need to play games that don't eat up your bankroll too quick. And if you play right, you should over time be a winner.

Maybe *shrugs* All I know is that he was up a couple grand and lost it fairly quickly. Now he's deep in the red.

I like.

I don't have any cash to play right now, but come the end of the year I might be on for a few games.

I only play for fun.

You jammy so-and-so.




Posted by higbvuyb

These are actually designed for you to lose cash, so the company actually profits. So, unless you're good, you're going to lose money.




Posted by WILLETH FOR MONTHS

All casinos do that, except they take it from the pot as you play. If you win, you win slightly less than you would have done normally. If you lose, you don't lose more than you put in.

In Holdem you're not playing against the house like in blackjack or shit like that. The house makes its money by taking a small percentage of each pot (the rake). Of course it's still true that you'll lose money if you don't know how to play--mostly to other players though.
