Re: Surf while playing
Nope. I end up getting timed-out if I try to surf & play because I'll get interested in something and forget the game LOL

Re: Do you wear sunglasses when playing in person?
I don't wear sunglasses, but I do wear glasses (a have-to thing)... I wonder if that's an issue with standard must-have-to-see glasses also?

Re: New Strategy, Old People, or New people, old strategyI

Re: Know when it's a problem?
In my opinion, it's a problem if: 1. it takes all of a person's time including work time. OR 2. it takes all of a person's money including bill money.If it's only taking up "spare time" and "spare money" then it's their own thing and nobody's busine ...

Re: do you use a cut card in your home games?
Ok, admittedly I'm no pro, and only play for fun... but why is it so terrible that the (single, only!) bottom card is seen? The chances of it being an issue in the current hand is somewhat unlikely, isn't it? I don't understand.

Re: Frustrated with online poker
It's more fun to blame the computer LOL! My family all enjoy computer games, but the common refrain is "The computer cheats!" because it's difficult for programmers to make the things TOTALLY random and it always seems like oddities are in the compu ...

Re: Click the wrong button?
yep, especially if I'm distracted (on the phone, or husband or kids are talking to me). It's annoying at best, and embarrassing for sure!

Re: 2Re: How do you kick someone out?
kelkat - you're kidding!! He actually said that was RUDE?? That's ridiculous! I suppose he would have preferred "Yeah, you big idiot" ((rolleyes)) Sportsmanship and manners often go hand in hand. If someone isn't being nice, certainly ask him to lea ...

Snacky. Sweet, salty, doesn't matter. Both is good! But not a "meal" ... must be snack food!

Re: Betting signals
I don't have a good poker face. If I were to play pro, I wouldn't just need sunglasses, I'd need a full face mask! LOL.

Re: Can you forfeit your hand without penalty?
I agree totally with kelkat. While I like to see what I 'beat'... if they fold, chances are I didn't beat anything worth looking at anyway!

Re: Cheating?
Seems to me that cheating would necessarily take some of the fun out of the game. Why play if you can't help but win? That sort of game would get boring quick, IMO.

Re: How much do you play for

Re: Tournament Timers
I haven't played a tournament, but it seems to me a chess-style timer would work just as well as (or better than) a kitchen timer.
