OT: [censored] thread, May, READ RULES IN TOP POST

[slimon]

I only played cash a couple of times live and I have a couple of questions. If you are up 2k playing 1/2 do you have to have that whole 2k on the table? Are you allowed to take money off of the table? If you do play 1/2 and the maximum buy in is 200 is it stupid to buy in for only 100? How many buy in's do people usally bring for 1/2? I was playing at Jackson Rancheria for the first time playing 1/2 I brought in for 100 and asked for all one dollar chips. When I got to the table people were mad at me even the dealer. I'm guessin your not suppose to buy in and ask for all one dollar chips? I kind of don't like playing live because people seem so freaking serious playing 1/2 with there sunglasses and everyone is so quiet. Plus I'm a huge nit. If I played cash 1/2 no limit ring like a sng do you think I can still make profit live?

To pay the blinds, When I was playing in morango in LA no one seem to have a problem with it. People should tell you these things! I see no problem with it!

If you're playing 1/2 and you have 2k on the table, its because the table sucks. You would never want to take that money off the table!

Live players are terrible - so you should buy in for the full amount.

Playing like a nit live will make you PLENTY of money - but its sooo boring, so i raise every hand and practice hand reading bc its waaaay more fun. (so is showing down 4 high)

1/2 players are soooo funny to play/listen to.

Also, asking for $1 chips doesnt matter bc they will give you change if you don't have the exact amount you want to bet (if you only have $5 chips and you just want to call the $2, there is a "one chip rule" where, if you throw the one chip in, it means CALL, so it isnt a raise. The dealer will give you change before the action is over)

Idk if you can just take money off the table. I'm pretty sure you can't.

Thanks for all of the advice =0. I'm not that confident playing live at all. I only played live 3 times in my life and I lost all 3 times. I always buy in for 100 bucks and if i lose that I leave. Is bringing 400 bucks enough for 1/2? That's two buy in's right. 400 dollars seem so much in real life but money online doesn't seem like real at all. I guess I just gota assume everyone playing 1/2 are morons. Don't you feel sometimes that you are wasting your time playing live because you can play more than one table at once online? It takes forever to make a couple hundred dollars right?

Its only wasting time if you assume i actually put in real hours online.

I actually find live poker fun bc you can communicate with real-life humans and since i'm a talker at the tables, i need that.

You only get in ~30-35 hands per hours, if that, so its "tougher" to make a few hundred dollars at 1/2. But at the same time, it DEFINITELY isnt tougher.

it depends where you play, at the Taj the 1/2 game i played was 300max , definitely worth sitting that deep because everyone sucks so hard

Playing live low-stakes poker is worse than reading Youtube comments.

Paster,

Awesome night. Trip report for sure, eventhough it won't be read as much as Bones' reports. You pretty much can never take money of the table without leaving, but I assume your effective stack size was much lower anyway.

Do you think having a HUGE stack was helping you get action? Probably the combo of being drunk with a HUGE stack is good.
