Sippy.
I've started playing poker in 2007-2008, pokerstrategy.com teached me and after passing the quiz i've got free $50 at
partypoker, ended up having $800 in first month... My experiece with
888, ipoker and
pokerstars started with
freerolls, at PS i've also passed the school and i've got several tickets, i used these tickets in SnG and won 12$, using these 12$ i've qualified to big MTTs tourneys through sats, my first big win at PS was $2K with 11$ buyin... I'm playing
online poker for 10-11 years now, i've bought my cars, laptops, garage, cnc machines for my business, travelled. And i've only deposited 10-20$ to all of the pokersites that i'm playing, just to let them know my bank card = where i want to cashout. In overall i can't say that i'm 100% professional, cause i've always mixed online poker with real business, but if you want my opinion on what's fair and what's not in online poker - i can say that some of the cash games are not fair because of the teams sitting around you, you might even never know it, cause you see that 1st player is from UK, the other one is from
canada, third is from Austrlia and 4th is from
new zealand... but they're sitting there all together in skype\viber\whatsapp\whateverChatSoftware and they're telling each other cards. ANother thing that i've noticed in cash games - is that 1 out plays very very often against cheap leader who won a lot of cash and still sits at the table. Because
poker site is interested in big pots and people staying at the tables.. IF one will constantly win and others will constantly loose during one session, then losers might get "that feeling" and will leave... that's what i saw through thousands of
hands played at cash tables that 1 out plays very very often in specific situations...I don't know if it's luck or it's fixed, but that's the reason why i moved on to playing ONLY MTT tournaments. I've excluded the problem as i saw it. Playing cash games with a real dealer is a much better option, and if you ask me - what is the best place for live game - it's your place with invited independant dealer, you pay him for his job once and you and your opponents never see him again. You must know your opponents too, friends is the best option. I believe that this is the most fair way to play poker for cash. Cause let's be honest - can you be sure in casino dealers and players around you at the casino table? If you will lose - your money will fly away in someones pocket and you will never know what happened to the lifetime hours you've spent making these money. From the other hand - if your friend will win yours and others money and will use them to buy a car or improve his house - you will always know that you've spent your lifetime for good.
Hey some funny maths:
Avatar movie by Spielberg, or StarWars by Lucas? Nevermind, let's say 1 movie... it lasts 2-3hours, ok? Let's say 2 billions of people have watched it completely. So in total, in size of the planet 2 * 2 billions = 4 billions of human hours have been spent for watching blue guys from other planet or sword fights where the right guys have blue sword and the bad guys have red sword...
If we'll think about human life... let's say 90years... 90 * 365days *24hours = approx 800K hours.
If we'll divide 4billions / 800K we will get 5000 as a result. This number... 5K = average human lifes totally erazed like they've never existed, because 2billions of real people spent 2 hours of their life each.
So from such point of view Avatar movie can be considered as weapon of mass destruction.
Same with online poker.
That's why I never just play poker, because of poker... I use 3 screens and do my programming plus observe and operate my cnc machines plus do several other things that help me earn money, and i manage to play poker at the same time... It's easy.
I don't recommend to be a fanatic of whatever you're doing, i don't recommend to sell a house for that one special game or single bet. You better concentrate not on your probable winnings, not on the game itself, not on how they deal cards with their random number generators... But you better think of what you might lose. Let's compare two players - one worked hard for the money, got his salary and used it to deposit 2-3K and to play poker... The other player separates his real life earnings and his online poker winnings, he started with freerolls and climbed up the ladder all way up to that same table with the first guy, who used his salary to deposit and play. How do you think they will be playing against each other and who will have a sweaty pants when the game is over?
