Chiefsplanet Online Poker Players Unite!

[crazycoffey]

I love playing on Ultimate Bet and Full Tilt the most.

Ultimate Bet always has private tourneyments for "groups". I am sure something can be done on Full Tilt also. I was wondering if anyone here plays online and if enough do, maybe coordinating a "ChiefsPlanet" tournement in the future.

First, how many are interested?

If not that many are interested, than the few of us that play may be able to search for each other.



I'm CrazyCoffey on both of these.

I said I don't play for money on the internet. I live 10 minutes from three riverboat casinos if I want a money game, I go there. I just thought it might be fun to play with some of the posters here. Since we all live so far apart, online seemed the best option.

Hootie, I hear your mom calling you. She wants to know if you want pizza bagels.

I'd love to play crazzycoffey, I think it's a great idea. I would prefer low stakes friendly money game, but I'd be willing to play for free too. It's all about fun anyways, I don't want to take any money off of anybody in here, or have you take money off of me

Personally, I love playing real money games with "want-to-be" poker players. The worse the competition is, the more money you are prone to make. If I go sit at a table and see someone better than me, I get up and leave. Poker is about money, not about ego. If you always play with people as good as you, you are going to lose all your money..that is all there is to it.

Are you trying to tell me what I can and can't play?

I ONLY play 10/20 and 20/40 online...

I rarely ever play NL, unless I'm playing multi-table tournaments.

Every once in a while I'll sit and play four screens of short-handed 5/10 but 5/10 is a huge fish game...

If you play occasionally 20/40 online and win, why would you have a job or do anything else? I'm just saying, you must be one rich cookie because you can play perfectly and lose 25K playing 20/40. If you are playing four tables 20/40, even more.

[Hootie]

and to play 20/40, you don't need 75,000 dollars. That's ridiculous.

First off, I don't play poker professionally. As in, it isn't my only means of income.

All you need to play 20/40 is a thousand...you sit, play your session...you either make or break with the 1,000...I've lost it in 45 minutes before, and I've made 15K before...many times.

Once you understand how to play limit, and how to make proper calls and laydowns, there really isn't much you can do other than hope you hit when you play for a raise.

10/20 is definitely a much more relaxed game...in 20/40 there is always that guy that feels the need to try and win every pot he enters, which is the best way to lose all of your money every time you play.

I don't play four tables of 20/40, and I would never put myself in a position to lose 25K playing 'perfectly'...

You don't need anymore than 1,000 to sit down and play 20/40 online...it's limit, no one picks on the short stack. If you play real tight for the first 10-15 rounds and win the first big pot you play you're set for the session.

I always have a threshold when I play high limits. If I lose 1,000 right away, I have no problems being done for the day or playing a lower limit, but you don't need 75K to play 20/40. That's just wrong.

If you play 20/40 professionally and 8 hours a day, sure, you need a bankroll to handle the swings...but when you take 1,000 and play a session, it's really stress free, unless 1,000 is a lot to your bankroll.

I started with 100 dollars about 4 years ago, played the lower limits and sit and go's, got lucky in a huge multi and have gone from there...

The new bill they passed has me really worrying about the amount of money I have in my UB account, but customer service has reassured me several times that if they decide to close UB to American customers, they will still be able to cash out all of their funds in their accounts...

I'm just saying, you are going to need alot of money. I know 75K is on the high side, but if I was going to try to play it professionally over the long haul. I wouldn't want to start with less than 40K if I was going to be multitabling. I'd be prepared to start with 100 times the big bet at the table, and prepared to lose it occasionally. Limit is a bitch like that, good game though. No Limit actually has less variance than limit.

Where have you found the games to be the softest now that Pacific and Party Poker are dried up? I quit playing online since then. I played at Full Tilt right after the ban, but it was pretty rocky.

Limit is a stress-free game...

I used to play a lot of NL 5/10 and that game was ****ing crazy.

I hate full tilt. It's impossible to cash out from that shit site. I tunred 50 dollars on a friends account into over 5 K and I have to wait another month before I can get the friggin' money out since it was a new account...and with netteller closed now it's even harder. **** that site.

I play a lot of UB...a lot of limit pros, but at least they respect the check/raise...

Party Poker was always a huge fish site with unbelievable swings.

A few years ago I profited over 3K playing 2/4 in just over 2 months...that shit is insane. 3K playing only 2/4 is absolutely ridiculous. I was uber-agressive...the way to play on that site in low limits...

Don't like pacific or bodog, poker stars is shit, not a fan of pokerroom, either.

I play 100% UB as of late...but I've dabbled in just about every pokerroom.

[Hootie]

I'm a big fan of the heads up sit and go's on UB...when I'm board I'll play three screens of 20 dollar heads up sit and go's...grind them out...you can make 50 dollars an hour doing that, if not more...

Plus, I get rakeback playing UB...so I could make 40 dollars an hour breaking even on 2/4 if I wanted to...

Rakeback is awesome...the only win/win certainty in online poker.
