If Online play becomes illegal...........

[qk1234]

will the online players flock to the casinos, making the games much harder to beat? This worries me b/c the players at the casino by me are terrible and i would like that not to change.

[mdrudeen]

how many tables can you play at casino these days?

[Leader]

I wouldn't say "flock." But common sense says that mid/high limit online pros will go in search of games.

Don't worry. Most online 'pros' can't play without the crutch of their PAHUDS and other bot tools. They are clueless in live play.

Yeah, its so difficult to keep track of the tendencies of players at 30 hands an hour on one table.

[Overdrive]

It IS very difficult for those who are used to using their PAHUDS and having their software decide for them when they should raise call or fold.

They also don't know how to put chips in the pot. They just keep asking the dealer where the mouse is. And they continually ask for a 4 color deck as well. Unreal.

Overdrive certainly has no respect for online players which I do not understand. I think it has something to do with wanting to feel superior but whatever. I agree that they may not be as dominant or that it will take them a while to adjust, but to say that they won't be able to adjust is silly. I'm certainly not the best online player and I take a lot of money off the table when I go to the casino.

Sweet, another "no one who uses a HUD actually thinks when playing poker" thread.

Man, every single thread in every single forum. You really have an ax to grind, overdrive. I seriously see not a single post from you on anything but this (HUDbots are killing the game, blah blah blah).

Damaniac - I love your posts, but what is your avatar? It is seriously disturbing to me and difficult to look at. Please change it, pretty please?

... i would like that not to change."

So, WHAT have you done to stop it from happenning ? Have you written your Senators ?

[MrBrightside]

No doubt. Live play is SOOO much easier that online play at the same level, it's not even funny. The other nite, I was at a 5/10 Omaha 8 table live. We had one guy who 3 times in one hour, tried to use 3 from his hand to make a flush/full house.

Then there was the classic guy at a 1/2 NL table who was so drunk he picked up his cards backwards.

I'm sorry, but after 2 or 4 tabling, my main task when playing live is figuring out how to not get bored and play too loose. I wish they would just let me have a swivel chair and play two tables.

I'm continually amazed at how unbelievably bad people play live. I played a $200 NL tourney where a guy folded to a $1000 chip turn bet IN A 20,000 chip pot! My big fear of online poker drying up is that it will force many good players into B&M's around here, who don't realize how lucrative it is. I'm a small stakes player who makes far more from my once-aweek B&M outing then 3-4 nites a week online.

This is the legislation forum. Stop trolling with this crap.

[Little_Luck]

I am an online pro and will not move to B&M if and when the congress monkeys get their way. I can't handle the boredom of live play. I bet I'm not the only one. Now I am really glad I saved almost everything I have made over these last 3 years.

It's been said before and might as well say it again, write/call both of your senators.

When you're playing one table, and 23 hands per hour, and the table has 1 or 2 player changes per hour, you dont need a HUD.
