£200 nice one.

never played on the net but we used to play one every 3months or so after work (usually a sunday night) in the function room, that's how i got started.

and then me and some mates (usually like 6-11 people per game) started havin regular poker nights which was always fun. but that was before they pissed off to uni :(

anyway, no, no tips for u ;p

i play poker on facebook, ive got just over 9k chips i think, u get 200 chips every day u log on (once a day, dont get if u dont log on) quite fun as u can chat to the other on the table etc.

i find the best tip is if u got the most chips try to be controling, try and take people out of the game.

I used to get completely stoned before playing poker, gave me a better 'poker face'.

Haha, never tried that. Might have to though, facial expressions kinda go off the charts when MJ comes into play! My poker face is actually pretty decent anyway though.

Never played for any large amounts of cash, only like £2-10 buy in's. Not really had much cash recently so chose not to play =p.

You gota be good at maths if you wanna be really good so you can estimate what hand they got, also gota be lucky lol.

You don't have to be good at maths to work out odds, it's about tactical play more than anything, and luck of the draw if the tactics don't quite go to plan =p.

To play poker properly, you have to be playing with people who also know how to play. Pointless playing with a group of people who will go all in on a Queen high or something. You need to be able to judge what people will do, otherwise the game just goes to pot.

i play quite alot of poker, real life and on-line, if you are a beginner i play quite small tables or the "beginner tables" that are available on some sites.


www.calculatem.com - this program might help you (don't like it myself but one of my friends use it, cuz they only started), you will have to get a crack though, only other suggestion is to watch poker on tv

Poker is like acting man. Act good and never give away your hand or make people believe you have a **** hand or a good one and also make the other player think you have a **** hand, THEN crush him, when his fallen for your trap and thinks his on top.

Poker = 40% Skill, 30% Acting, 20% Cards , 10% Luck

Does that sentence actually make any sense?

And what exactly do you class as skill? There is also alot more than 10% luck in the game.

When i paly with my mates i try not to make a habit of betting in patterns, if people don't know what you have then you have a advantage. Like it's been said just keep a straight face.
