Stupid Poker

[Bhelliom]

Actually Hold'em is a very simple game to learn, but as Nick said, takes a long time to get even decent at. I'm just getting to the "Decent" stage after ton's of reading and practice. I lost a fair bit over the summer online, but It seems to be paying off in spades the last few weeks.
I'm quickly recovering lost money. In fact if my math is right I just need one more place in a tourney and i'll be positive for my whole online experience.... which is good.

now that I've discovered most online players are morons, and how NOT to play like them (and thus be a moron) it gets much easier to make money

I just haven't been able to enjoy online poker so hardly ever play it. I like the live games and reading people and looking for their tells. Trying to put them on ha hand. Seeing the look on their faces when they lose a big pot. Stuff like that. Online poker seems so sterile to me. I go to my loacl casino and play cash games and tourneys and have one home game I go to every wednesday and almost always clean up in.
