I got the basics of the game down playing poker on my phone (Blackberry curve), against computer opponents, started with $500, busted out a hundred times before I finally worked my way up to 13.4 million and figured that the AI must be really bad.
So then I get on facebook and find they have a poker game that is against real people. I thought this is great, now I can see how I stack up compared to real people without risking real money.
Im finding these people are also pretty bad at the game, I started with $500k and within a week Im up to $1.4 million.
Now I wouldn't expect it to be this bad at a real table with real money on the line, maybe its because Im playing at the lower stakes tables that Im winning chips hand over fist, but Im curious now to see what happens if I play for real money.
I am pretty good at reading the cards, players not so much, I run a tight ship unless I got a good hand.
There is going to be a poker night at a fraternity Im thinking about joining, $50 buy in. This will tell me if Im actually good at the game or not, because I will finally be playing for real money.
My question is, should I continue "practicing" on zynga poker, or is there some other way to get better experience at the game?
BTW, Im unemployed so gambling at the casino with the few dollars I do have, is not an option.
