    Does anyone play?

    I play Hold 'Em - $10/20/30 "Sit and Go's" and 1/2 - 2/4 ring games on PartyPoker.

    I've recently started tracking my play, and found it to be quite helpful. Any other Hold 'Em players on BigSoccer? I know Oliver Tse is quite an accomplished amateur...but I'm not sure about others.

    Re: Texas Hold 'Em

    haven't played in a while, and never done the online thing. Used to play $5-$10 buy-ins in college with friends.

    i have been playing other poker games and did lose four 8s to four Jacks in a game called Tower. You can buy cards, but I was dealt all four eights. Its a 7 card game.

    Re: Texas Hold 'Em

    I play real money mainly at ParadisePoker.

    Usually catch me in the $10/$20 sit and go's, the low $ entry tourneys or the $1-2 Limit Hold-em tables.

    Same username as here.

    BTW Stogey, the creator of HAM for Hattrick has created a Hold'em assistant program that can obtain data like the Hattrick Ass't programs from the different online sites. Unfortunately he hasn't integrated Paradise as of yet, so I can't comment on its performance. Go here for more info.

    Re: Texas Hold 'Em

    Now that's another story. My brother runs a game down in Houston that I play in when I visit. Usually $1/$2 No-Limit.

    Also play when I go home to Shreveport at the boats on the river there.

    Re: Texas Hold 'Em

    Don't play online, I do play some buy in games and the results are always the same. The last one knocked out before the money gets paid out. :mad:

    Re: Texas Hold 'Em

    I used to play a lot at AbsolutePoker. The highest I've ever won was around $200 playing $20+2 buy-in tourney. Lost a lot of money in the ring game one night. I felt something fishy going on and everyone was ganging up on me. Well I pretty much quit online poker after that.

    I don't care for Party Poker.

    I play Pokerstars.

    Re: Texas Hold 'Em

    I played a couple tournaments yesterday. Did decently in a 7 card Studs one.

    I don't see why one would play PartyPoker when one has access to Pokerstars.. maybe someone could explain this to me? I know Pokerstars is only accessible to PCs, but with Virtual PC on your Mac, you can still run the application.

    Re: Texas Hold 'Em

    what a crappy day. i got no cards. nothing. i had a pocket pair twice (q's, 10's) and when i raised nobody called. when i did see the flop, i never hit anything. every time i bluffed, i was either called or re-raised. man, frustrating! i had 4200 in chips, when the blinds went up to 300-600. that's all-in time with anything halfway decent, so one hand before big blind, i move in with q9 and get called. the guy turns up aa. jonny ballgame.
