facebook poker

question: am i the only one here that plays poker on facebook? i realized that up at the higher limits, there are actually decent players and that it would be good practice. i can't lie, i enjoy it

You are the only one.

Well, maybe not but I do not play there.

Good luck.

I played on facebook for a while, but in the lower levels it is too frustrating. I just stick to Ultimatebet now, which is equally frustrating but smoother gameplay.

why would you bother playing on facebook when you can play online for free just the same?

You can play for real money on facebook??? Or is it just play money??

I had no idea that there was even any poker available on FB?? What's the scoop? And, like someone has already stated, why play there instead of on a regular poker site?

heres a link to the FB app

I personally wouldn't waste my time. shocking players on there and it wont help your game at all.

Got to agree with RBR...... Facbook FTL

its only when you get to the higher blinds where sometimes you play against proper poker players
otherwise, you get people just going all in every hand which ruins the game.

mhm. that's why i said at the higher limits there are good players. saying it will not help your game at all is not true. you can practice pickinig up patterns in players and playing accordingly.

even at high limits their isnt good play..
you can play for free on ft or other sites...
on facebooks some users are in middle school, im sure they all play on their and think their god..
how can you get better playing on facebook? you cant..

I wouldnt bother playing for playmoney anytime...Big waste of time. And seriously anyone can afford playing 01-02 cents level so why not do it..

Facebook period is no place to learn. Even if you find an experienced player hes only experienced in knowing what hands beat what.

Hah i've played poker on facebook a few times, but yeah the poker sites are better

It may be fun, and probably a good place to play with some of your friends if you wanted. But for real money and a learning experience, I suggest elsewhere.

does fulltilt have 1/2 cent games? i only saw 5/10nl games and 25/50 limit games at the lowest...

Full tilt Doesnt but Pokerstars does. Here You can play 1-2 cent nl and 2-4 cent Fixed limit

Agreed tthe software on facebook is awful very slow playing all in every hand if you have no chips just awful

Bottom line, It's PLAY MONEY. Who cares?

lol most of the above comments are true facebook poker is pretty awfull. I dunno about the higer limits as i've not got lucky enough to get stacked. See how i said luck? Any skill you have is just fished out.

Facebook poker LMAO......This is another forum joke right? Ok serioully the few friends I have that play on facebook poker, DON'T play poker on real sites. I have tried to get them to cross over but they wont. I believe it is just a social thing among facebookers.

if your just starting out in poker its fine to play for play money. if not your just wasting your time. why not look for a freeroll where you can at least win something, and the play is somewhat real.

Like just about everyone said, the play is UNBELIEVABLY bad. Your good hands lose because everybody plays the hand and somebody hits something decent most of the time. If you raise, everybody plays and somebody hits. I played there yesterday and had some nitwit double me up as I flopped a high straight. He called me all the way down and turned over absolutely nothing. Not a pair, not a draw, not even a decent card. Complete trash that had zero chance of winning unless...well, unless nothing.

I won't say don't do it. It can be entertaining, but it's not poker. You're basically flipping coins with a bunch of random people.

what's interesting about facebook poker is that if you can accumulate a massive bankroll of the fake chips you can sell them to people for real money. My buddy just sold 150 mil in chips for $750.00....not a bad deal.

Seriously, sold play chips??? lmao, how do you do that?

sold play chips for 750$?


that cannot be true.

$750.00 for facebook play chips, Surely you just made this up just to get your post count up, I wouldn't bother posts like these get deleted when your posts get checked before access is given to the password section.

I am a regular poker player on facebook. From my experience I bought chips 10 cheaper from www.123chips.net and though their prices are not the cheapest, they offer very good bonuses at each purchase.

That's pretty amazing. I heard that there is a market out there for Full Tilt and Pokerstars playchips as well. There is probably some site that buys and sells fake chips for all the poker sites. It doesn't make very much sense to me because I can't think of why someone would pay money for fake chips instead of just investing that money in their real money account. I'm sure there is some reason....

Why would anyone want to have so many Play Money chips? Is there some reason these are wanted?

I have 7 group pages on facebook so far and stopped playing there after my 3rd day....NO freerolls and too many all in since it's free MOTTO...

I played my first session of Facebook poker.
It was terrible. Nobody folds.
I fold just about everything, get A/A, shove, and get three calls by people who don't even have Ace high. I won... but man, how is that any sort of challenge?
It's a call-fest.

Also, I don't think you have to put in a blind to play. That is, if you sit at the table you play the next hand without posting a blind. And if there is an empty seat farther away from the blinds you can stand up and sit there.

And the only way I see to reload is to stand up and sit back down (meaning you can do as much rat holing as you want).

I remember IM'ing a friend, "I am only slightly more bored than this Facebook poker is terrible."

I play facebook poker when I get really really bored, but only on occasion. The game design is no good at all, the sound sux, they don't have hot keys.

And why is it like that you might ask ?

Because they know very little about poker. It's not their specialty.

Say no to facebook poker. I don't promote it.

I'm playing it now.
I LOL'd when I saw this. Buy chips? Ha ha ha ha!

it's not like this. if you buy chips from other sites you buy 15 x cheaper. there are players who made so many chips so they decide to sell. but if the site don't have the option to transform earned chips in money, they sell their chips at very low rate. i prefer to buy from the ones i told you before. they sell 1 M chips with 14,99. Facebook sells 750 000 with 99.99. So it works for me.
