Anyone up for playing any Hold 'Em? I know a lot of you are American and there's only like 3 stakes where playing for money is legal. Well, not to worry, I'd love to play with anyone for play chips (fake chips/fake money), of course.
And for anyone here who is more knowledgable about Poker...... if you do a Google of poker sites with the worst players/ most 'fish' Supposedly sites like Bet365 and 888Poker have them.... whereas sites like Pokerstars, for instance, is described as 'tough'.
Well..... if that's the case..... how come I find the players at Pokerstars to be much fishier and easier? Is it because I'm better against better players? Is it because I read poker books that often tell me what to do against good players? Or is it because Pokerstars is actually full of a lot more fish than people make out?
Or is it because when there are listings of the sites with most fish... the sharks flock there and then suddenly that's the site that's full of Sharks. And when Pokerstars is listed as tough, the sharks leave there and go to the fishy sites.
Or is it because I play fast fold Poker and Pokerstars has a 1 cent 2 cent stake for that but the lowest stake (with 100BB) at a site for 888 for fast fold poker is 2 cent 5 cent.... and is that increase of stake (just over double) really that much big of a difference in skill?
I don't get it. 888Poker's fast fold, called snap poker, is full of nits who value bet really strong hands but they also play back at you when you try to bluff them. That's supposed to be a fishier site... but Pokerstars... I'm running all over them.
And I don't even do too badly at 888Poker. I tend to make a very slight profit or break even... depending on if I'm drinking beer. Lol.
But Pokerstars....... supposedly the toughest poker site. I've never encountered so much fish.
They seem to play weak hands and make weak calls...... and at the same time they are really easy to bluff and re-bluff. And their timing tells are super obvious. I feel like I can practically read their hole cards from their actions sometimes.
Unless I've just got a lot better at poker in the last 24 hours?! I doubt it.
