I like to chat. Fake chips, real people; you gotta have your priorities straight.
I’ve told the story of my pet turtle Fluffy and his great escape, shared the excitement of finding some drier lint that looked just like Richard Nixon, and several other extremely interesting stories along those same lines.
I get bored talking to the same people in my head all the time, yanno?
Just keep in mind that many players here don’t speak English, and that some of them can’t type, and some can’t concentrate and chat at the same time, and some of them don’t know how to chat, and some just have nothing to say.
I usually have nothing to say, but I always say it anyway. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I like it because you don’t need to download potential malware to play. Plus it’s free…that’s the opposite of lame. Oh and I like it because it didn’t run out on my family.
forgot to ask mrgood, was that in a regular room, or in a tourney, cause if it was in a tourney it might of have been a break period, and no Im not trying to be a wise guy, lol
I can’t get in a real game anymore. I used to play in a weekly draw game and a weekly stud game 25 years ago. Most of the guys were older guys and they’re all gone now. Nobody I know plays draw or stud anymore; I don’t know anybody who has a regular hold-em game for that matter, at least not near where I live. It’s this or nothing. That being said, it is fun and competitive here and if the cards turn sour (or the players) there are plenty of other tables or tournaments to find on this site if you really need your competition fix.
Agreed no frills nothing fancy it just works. I wonder why so few are on this site maybe 2000 and less than half play. I played some 15 years ago and it seems to me that more were playing then. It maybe that is free and no money is involved. I see that it has been around for awhile but I never seen anything about it. More advertising would do them good and I’m doing by part in getting the word out. I know of places that have many young men that do play poker and I hope to get a few 100 or more to join.
I still play on a HP Pavillion laptop Windows Vista and it does lag and is slow. However got a new cheap HP one with Windows 10 and it is blazing fast. It also maybe your router or modem you need to upgrade them after about 5 years. Start with your modem should last longer.
