How do you expect any of us to have money left after visiting this forum? Shame on you for suggesting we waste money gambling when we could "invest" in another flashlight we don't really need!

Why? You gettin' a game together?

I play poker for money, but not online. It's just lacking to social interaction that occurs with real people. If I want to play with strangers rather than friends or for some serious money, I'd be more inclined to patronize one of the local cardrooms (we have two, one being a WPT site.) The game itself entails social interaction whether it be with friends or strangers, it would just seem too sterile on an online environment to me.

By your screen name, it looks as though you may be of Asian descent. You might find it interesting that the majority of the patrons of the cardrooms in the metropolitan areas of California are of Asian descent. Though if you watch some of the poker shows on TV, it's probably no surprise

I once played poker online for maybe half a year while I was still a student. It was pretty good & easy money back then, until

• more and more people learnt about what costly mistakes to avoid.
• the online poker rooms increased their rake.

There wasn't much money to be made anymore, some exams had to be taken to finish my studies and so I quit playing poker online.

PokerStars was always a pleasant experience to deal with, but I cannot guarantee times haven't changed. You might want to check with this forum: http://www.twoplustwo.com/ (navbar on the left, choose 'General Gambling - Internet' direct link: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=inet ).

However if you don't neccessarily need to play poker for real money you also might want to have a look at Poker Academy ( http://www.poker-academy.com/ ). Their software is pretty strong a.i. for playing offline and they have an online room, where you can play for a fictional currency that cannot be replenished at insane rates and therefore makes people play somewhat more realistically.
