Always play in rooms with real chips up for bet. I recommend high rollers because super high rollers are full of people who cant bet yet they dont care to lost their tokens cause they a gillion tokies and it doesnt bother them to lose them all.
Those people in middle rollers tend to be cheap with their tokies because they dont have  a buttload of tokies but they are trying to earn them. Those in low rollers play erratically just as those people in just for fun rooms do.


Wow thank you for the advice!!! I never thought of it that way but you are soo right. Super rollers is a mess really come to think about it. I will have to remember high rollers because I am sick of peeps betting erratically.
It's hard to find consistant players.  I cannot stand either raise and check? I guess everyone is different.
I never play joker wild tables just too unpredictable!! I have lost 4 of a kind before at those tables to better.

I try to keep my winning % up by always first observing a game-
-if the players are eratic betters or just dont know how to bet I leave
-if the players are all playing tight and no one is putting any chips out I leave
-I  watch for players with consistancy in their bets- and if I can find them, I sit and play til they leave

Always play in rooms with real chips up for bet. I recommend high rollers because super high rollers are full of people who cant bet yet they dont care to lost their tokens cause they a gillion tokies and it doesnt bother them to lose them all.
Those people in middle rollers tend to be cheap with their tokies because they dont have  a buttload of tokies but they are trying to earn them. Those in low rollers play erratically just as those people in just for fun rooms do.

Also- if you have a good general knowledge of the cards in a deck, then playing with jokers is actually NOT in your favor. For example a pair of pocket Aces can be very deceiftul in either hand (all it takes is a 3 of a kind or two small pair to hurt you) however if you have pocket aces while playing with jokers, you might as well have a pair of twos... not that great of difference when there are so many other "wildcards" out there.

I only mentioned Moneymaker because poker didn't seem to hit it big on ESPN until last year's tourney. ;)

Whats funny is ESPN showed the world Series every year
I can't wait till it's not popular anymore.  I've cut my playing time due to all the internet nerds.

Not me. I'd rather be the next Phil Helmuth. Win 9 bracelets as well as 5 million dollars each year just by being a poker player by profession.

A lot of people hate that guy, but he is the best.

I like Daniel Negreanu and you have to like Gus Hanson, that guy is nuts.

I am an avid poker player as well and I can't agree more with the fact that people on Pogo play very wrecklessly.

 If it was real $$ I can assure you the people would play much differently
