100k CONTEST POLL - Have you played live poker?

I will be playing live poker but rn i think i do not have the level or knowledge for playing it

Don’t gamble with scared money. (Money you can’t afford to lose.)

I’ve played real life poker at real life tables, plenty, and with some serious players and some nefarious…but apart from being a different game (the online live tables, lacking body language and natural table chat), the online games have too much risk for fraudulent syndicate or partner play…they can communicate between themselves in the real world, and you would never know.

Remember this lesson when playing for money with complete strangers: “if you dont know who’s the pigeon at the table, it’s you”.

yes - only Texas holdem

best bad beat story; I had 77; other guy 33. Flop comes 3 5 7
I have set over set. Turn brings a 5. I have SEVENS full house over THREES full house. We both went all in. The river came the fourth 3. That lose hurt me and I haven’t played live tournaments again.

I live over 300 miles from the nearest live pokerb room so it is better for me to do online poker.

both options can be fun. all depends on the mood and the group

Used to play brick/morter (face to face) but as I’ve aged bathroom breaks have become important. I love the ease of playing online, I take copious notes on my opponents, .almost as good as face time. Husband and I both play (at different cites) he plays for real cash.

No, but i want to try

Live poker has a lot less bad beats in my opinion

go to a casino and play low stakes like $1/ 2$ Go with $50 and check it out!

Yes, I have played in live poker games and I love it. There are several “leagues” and other organized games near where I live. In fact, I have participated in the WPTAC tournament (World Poker Tour Amateur Championship) held in Las Vegas annually. The year that I qualified was also the year that a man from my group (Southern Colorado) won the tournament. There is nothing quite like the thrill of competing against the best and winning occasionally.

yep

LOVE playing live poker, 2 tournaments per week for approx 5 hours per tournament. I like to look players faces and gestures more easy than online poker.

Me gusta mucho jugar especialmente en vivo

havent tried

Love to see the cards dealt properly 55555

I enjoy live poker because it is very exciting and full of action.

I enjoy playing live poker because it’s much more fun to play in-person. I enjoy the conversations, the faces of winning & losing, the music, etc… Always more fun in person!

Amo este juego es como vivir varias vidas en un juego, la vida es un riesgo una apuesta lo hacemos todo el tiempo, en lo que queremos estudiar , en elegir la pareja o el trabajo todo el tiempo elegimos y nos equivocamos pero la vida son opciones y si fracasas empiezas otra vez esa es la vida
