Where do you guys usually play?

I used to play online, but only play live games now.

bigboydan · 08-26-2005, 04:46 AM

live games only for me

I only play live. From reading player reviews of the sportsbooks, the most common complaints have nothing to do with the sportsbook aspect. Many of the complaints are players either feeling cheated at the black jack table, or players feeling cheated at the poker tables. I can't see any reason why poker software would be designed to give an advanatge to one style of play over another. OR why any poker site, would have any desire to cheat one player, and assist another. But the bottom line is, if I have a pair of pocket aces and lose to a 2-7 off suit, if the game is live, while I'm upset, I won't feel cheated. WHere if its online, I'll always wonder in the back of my mind, is there something about the software, that in an effort to make the game more exciting, it creates situations where players with weak hands ultimately beat players with strong starting hands.

Playing online poker is a suckers game as lots oc heating is going on and also equal distribution of cards around table to keep players in the game and books collect rakes.

I would if I did play play at Poker Stars only

Usually live tourneys, though sometimes at Bodog.

would be cool to have a sbr poker table so I teach you guys a thing or 2, Sbrpoker.com in the works? I see the domain is not available. (thought I might squat it for some big sbr cash)

SBR_John · 08-26-2005, 07:40 PM

I'm up for a tourney. Maybe someone that works at SBR can figure out how to pull one together? In fact, why don't we get America'sCard Room to sponsor the thing?

Poker is always fun with posters fron the site

Dave · 08-26-2005, 09:14 PM

Well I just spoke to them and they (ACR) say they are in! By Monday we could possibly have a regular weekly thing.

Is that kind of the idea? Actually what is the idea?

We can see what they offer but does anyone have any suggestions as to what they might like to see from a weekly/monthly SBR Poker tourney?

jjgold · 08-26-2005, 09:15 PM

Will not work weekly as you will not get enough players

SBR_John · 08-26-2005, 09:24 PM

Lets go the 1st and 3rd Monday an 1.5 hour before MNF kicks off.

You would have to get through me first, but that would awesome if SBR had a poker room.

Screw weekly, how about every other night.

OK good. Ought be something we could do with SBRPoker. How about our own poker room?

If AmericasCardRoom will throw us a bone then let's play! They are a great SBR sponsor.

Someone set it up and lets rock-an-roll!

ACR is a weak online cardroom. I stick to Pokerstars, PartyPoker, and UB. Though, I have some cash in Bodog and play the 109 weekly, which usually has a nice overlay.
