How big a buy in?
What is a good amount for the buy in if you're doing a home game of 20 or 30 people? I have usually stuck to around $5 per person but I have been invited to some that were as much as $50 and I thought that was just a bit much. Some of the ...

Re: Learning the game: Which is best live or online?
Online is a great place to get the basics and see how the whole thing works. Online also teaches you to read players by their bets. But once you get the basics and you have some strategies and some kind of style of your own then it's definately time ...

Re: Playing online poker after a night out
I'm usually up late so I play more at night than I do during the day. I also play in a local pool league and after I get home I really still feel wound up still. So sitting down and playing a little poker can have a calming effect and I can get unwo ...

Re: Which site have you won the most money from?
I've had the most luck at Titan. I like the playtech software and I play a lot of private tournaments there also. I like the software at Absolute poker too, but I find a lot of the players there really annoying and many of them are terrible - but lu ...

Re: Girls are inherently better at poker. True or False
Hmm, this is quite an interesting topic. As a female I can say yes we can be very cunning and I have found that in GENERAL we are better at changing gears and we do tend to tilt less. So, while we MAY be more emotional than men in life, we are ...
