I am no stranger to poker at all trust me.
Lucky for me I have experience in chess, I use to be at expert level and learned so much from it. I treat poker the same way, I read books on it, I watch it , and study. I also play by what is called bank roll management, which is hard to stick to but I have and it's been paying off. Basically you never play with anymore than 20% of your bankroll. So if you play at a 25 max buy in table you should have at least 125$
I have stuck to this simple management and play solid poker. I fold a shit load. So now I play at a 200 max buy in table because I have a reserve of 1000 bankroll.
I also won't drink or smoke when playing anymore. It has been working well for me.  :smirk:

almost at 2k now




:eek: Harvest that first $1K now and see how far you can take the rest!!

Someone said it is lame but harvesting half if you double your winnings is a good, sound strategy for reaping benefits off gambling.

When lady Fortune is with you you won't miss that first 1K, and if she looks the other way at least you took a grand out of it  :thumbup:

If the Shroomery wouldn't get in trouble over it we could set up a members-to-members poker game (without casino advantage) with some loot in the Arcade, but its too complicated legally.
Does anyone know a game that's going without casino advantage?


Rahie: teach us some more poker strategies!

I can upload Phil Gordon's Green Book in Audio form like tomorow. (would today but I am going to friends house.
Also Poker Stars can let us make private tables for the Shroomery, that way they take care of the banking shit.

But yeah I like your idea Wiccan_Seeker  :smile:

That's actually pretty funny- the one who "plays for a living" was actually rated #2 in under 21 chess in the state for a few years.

Being able to think of poker in the same way definitely helps... but believe me when I say that thinking you can avoid losing TONS of money is just insane.

Bank advantage gets you just about every time because the odds are slightly stacked against you. That means that the greater the win, the more likely it will be that you will subsequently lose. The CHANCE is the same everytime but PROBABILITY dictates that there most of the times is a balance between winning streaks and losing streaks, which you just can't cheat. With games with bank advantage this works directly against you.

Casino games only are viable when the game has NO bank, just player vs player with fair odds for everyone. Websites where the "house" is just a player are said to exist, and they are the holy grail of online casino game players.
