"So...what do you want us to do about it?" Come up with a plan for us to create a new site that is owned by a bunch of young wealthy poker players [/ QUOTE ] Already been done. It's called Full Tilt Poker. Gorgon & Ferguson will make way more money as shareholders in FTP than they will ever make at the poker table. They could take turns winning the WSOP ME for the next 10 years, and they will still make more money from FTP. |

Re: The house takes all the money.
[ QUOTE ]
internet poker is nowhere near the cannibal that live casino crook operated poker is [/ QUOTE ] i was on holiday earlier this year in australia and while i was there i played at 1/2 nlhe they charged 5 an hour table charge plus up to 8 rake max per pot. now that is a tuff game to beat. way worse than online. also i was going to enter a tourny till i found out the "juice" was [censored] 20%. unreal. australia has the most passive loose games ever and you can still make money there but not as easily as you should. Like previous poster said fish dont care about rake cos they never win anyway [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

Re: The house takes all the money.
The thing with poker is that is just not exact science. For example, how do you calculate your edge against the rest of the players at your level? It will probably be an estimate. In blackjack, you know the house has 0.5% on you and you can calculate your edge over it if you come up with a strong strategy. How do you calculate your edge in poker?
In order to make decent money you need to play the midstakes where in today´s online environment is full of strong players who are probably using the same strategy that you are (unless you are the next Phil Ivey or Stu Ungar and have your own original way of playing)which transaltes into have 0% edge over the rest and only the house makes money with its rake (even with rakeback). |
