Since I've been doing dick all at home right now, been playing a lot of online hold'em at Pokerstars.
Been playing on and off for last 2 years, but playing a lot last few months online
Surely there's got to be lots of hold'em players here... |

| I used to play quite a bit, then I got a conscience about taking money from some of my friends who clearly had gambling problems. :p |

Well I used to play on Pokerstars, but not for money, just as a hobby when I was bored. Played it on and off for about 2 years.
Can be fun :) |

You can sooth your conscience by thinking your friends money can feed your drinking problems :p |

I play 2 or 3 times a week in a local league.
It's not poker unless the other guy is physically in front of you and he has something real to lose (even if it's just a potential price like a bar tab). Online poker is not real poker. The dynamics of the game are completely different. |

Unfortunately, most of these friends also had drinking and/or drug problems I needed to allow them to address as well :p
Anything less would have just been rude. |

| i play, used to play a lot more than i do presently. had a problem with no limit so i stick to $3-6 limit now. and i agree with whoever said that online poker and live games are COMPLETELY different. casino cash games and your average home games are way different too. :shrugs: |

another 'used to.'
in HS, we used to play for 3-4 hours every night. a couple years later, picked it back up & spent a ton of time on UB for about 6 months to a year, then found some other obsession. |

i'm on and off with poker.com
play at my friends house during our poker nights every month or so. but it's more of an excuse to get together and fool around and drink than it is to seriously play poker. |

| ive been playing for about 3 years now, but never really had the urge to play online until a couple months ago until my friend gary started teaching me more about the game. he's one of my good friends and is also one of the top nl hold'em players on the internet right now. its amazing how good he can do in those huge online tournaments |

Online poker is good for learning the basics and figuring out the odds.
But yeah. You gotta learn how to read a person to be a real poker player |
