Are you dumb enough to play poker online?

[FelixDeCat]

I was wanting to see what all the hubbub was about, so I tried a game someone sent me through Myspace. Then I figured out all the rigging that was going on. Granted, I didnt play with REAL money, but I did invest my time. And TIME is a valuable thing. I could have been posting here as opposed to hanging around Zynga!

The first day I joined I started playing this Texas Holdem game with $2000 in chips and within the first 30 mins zoomed up to $32,000. It seemed like almost every hand that was delt worked in my favor. And since Im usually an "all in" type and have been playing a simulation on candystand, this was easy. But I knew it was BS! This is what they call in the drug trade (similarly addictive vice), a "taste". From then on, it was going to cost you.

I eventually went broke about 30 mins later. The next thing you know they wanted me to PAYPAL them for more chips. Then I realized how they operated. They give you $1000 in free chips every day, but you have to wait. And from then on, you usually always lose. But hey, if I bought lucky chips I might start winning, right?

Gotta love capitalism, but man this was easy to see through.

The only one here who is clearly an idiot is you.

 

[TruePaige]

Huh? You think there is some "rigging" going on?

Lots of friends of mine play and have ~million chips without ever buying any.

You just have to play poker well, like in Vegas, and even then sometimes you lose.

Nobody "rigged" the games, you just made some bad bets, Felix.

 

[DingDingDao]

You are retarded.

 

[gorcorps]

Never lost my ass on zynga. I never use real money, but I'm always up from where I started.

 

[brblx]

online poker is for retards.

if you're not in the same room with people, the only thing you're playing off of is odds. mmm...math.

getting joy from online poker is like masturbating to the pythagorean theorem.

Hey, Im just telling you like it is.

You cant handle the truth!

[Red Squirrel]

If I wanted to get practice I'd play but never for real money.

 

[Mardeth]

In a communist world, what would your story look like? You played poker for breadcrumbs at a labor camp on your break?

 

[Mardeth]

So they ask for money so you can play for playmoney???

 

[Mardeth]

Exactly Mardeth! You are the only one who gets it. :'(

 

[OutHouse]

didnt congress ban offshore gambling?

[Udgnim]

it's called variance and you don't have a tolerance for it

 

[RadiclDreamer]

That wasnt called for

You dont win real money, you "win" chips. And to win those damn chips, they want you to spend real money to buy them. You cant cash the chips for real money.

Well your right, thats dumb but playing for money with money isnt...

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

So who did you lose your money to? Obviously someone else. Rigged my ass.

I've made quite a bit of money playing online poker. Need to educate yourself on where to play.
