Has anyone found a way to play the iPad poker apps for cash games...? To my understanding these apps are removed from the Aus iTunes - but can be downloaded with a US iTunes account... Although real cash does not appear to be an option... ?

... or because it is late afternoon/early evening in North America perhaps... haha

Jumped into a $1,500 Gtd $20+2 tourney last night - only ended up with 49 entrants ($500 under guarantee!) This is my first Pacific Poker tourney and I am by no means a star but came 7th with my AK went down to A8 with an 8 on the river. (Top 5 paid, 5th $120, 1st $600) Overall there were...

Yes just working that one out. It is a big culture shock after coming from pokerstars - in fact I played for 30 minutes now I'm back playing in PSs. Will give some of these tourneys a spin though and see how we go - the cards are cards at the end of the day, just take some adjusting.

Not yet signed up... best deal I seen was 100% + $10... other than that they offer entry to a $1000 freeroll and satellite to the $100k Sunday tourney...

Installed the software for Pacific Poker this week. I notice that every guaranteed tourney I look at comes under the guarantee. Some very good value to be had there...? Seems to be very small volume in tourney action but plenty of people in cash. Anyone have success stories or advice... my...

Now that is just being greedy - roll with what works. Have a mate here who tells me his friend turned $160 into $2500 with a session at a Niagara casino this weekend. Average player but the cards just fell his way, a $500 double up with his 77 a KK sums it up. All the same he takes home the...

5 games last two nights - 3 finishes on the bubble and 2 cashes 'just' (first out) - 9 seat to 27 seat games (2 bubbles = 27 seats). Doesn't give me much confidence, my bankroll is dead and bad luck isn't exactly exciting me when I'm playing pretty well. Playing a very tight and patient game...

I love this answer. I can completely relate to it, my attempts to shift my obsession to something a little less costly and time consuming are so far unsuccessful. However it is an improvement over horse and sport betting! :cool: Thanks for the posts guys - I'd never heard of Hansa before...

This article seems appropriate for where the thread is heading... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/08/magazine/08wwln-medium-t.html?_r=1

Thought I'd add some personality to this thread - seems odd my small profile kicks things off... but... Player ID: danielz_23 Where I play Online: PokerStars Where I play Live: n/a You'll find me on: SnGs and Multi tables Been playing for: 3-months My biggest win was: On...

Appreciate your comments FR, good read and you aren't full of yourself or your success. I've been grinding $30 US in a variety of SnG games and not making a great deal of progress. Got to $110, then was on my last $5 when I cashed in a $5 rebuy tournament (AA first hand helps) - currently...

Thanks ppg. Sounds like Party Poker steps a bit... obviously worth the try, and better than paying the $200!

Nice work - I took on my first tourney experience tonight with a $5 re-buy w/$25 re-buy option at first break. I was blessed with [AA] first hand and everyone two other guys were just throwing all-in because it was a re-buy. So I Tripled up. Basically dodged my way to break with about...

you can see this in hand history anyway... at least on the sites I've played.

dont we all 'need' to ;) how'd you go?

You probably need to work on being able to adjust your game and be flexible...? Otherwise you're going to run into trouble every time you hit a crap player ;p Which is a bit backwards... it would appear that you need to tone you game down at those levels because I get the impression that you...

That is a bit ignorant... Regardless there are American's everywhere online, it may be illegal but they can't stop everyone or anyone from playing. The only problem they have is getting their cash into accounts... Its illegal to gamble and drink under 18... you don't think millions of...

...and that is a big deal? bad players are bad players... you either win cash or build chips to outlast them in a tourney/SnG. Look I've been playing for only a couple of months and the fact you blame your play and bad luck on a lesser skill level of others is laughable. Aren't you on...

You sound like a joke there mate. Enjoy your higher standard of play, sounds like you'll dump all your cash soon enough with that attitude.

Is anyone here representing? Personally I wasn't involved but had a friend you entered. Over 6,000 entrants in the 1st event. All 13-hours of it!!

Re: Post Your Hand History part 2 Here is one for you guys - not sure how to lay it out... in summary $15+1, 9-seat SnG - turbo blinds I fell behind early on the first hand after losing my As-Ks (paired K) to one caller who hits a second pair (9s and 2s) on the river (called my 100 raise, and...

Thanks for the info on the trackers guys. I agree the information is a useful asset - being a social more than 'profitable' player I don't indulge myself too deep in stats, note taking is about as far as it goes. To my knowledge you are only getting information on those people while you...

Re: 2009 Aussie Millions @ Crown Casino I was discussing today that almost every big winner you see quit their job to take up poker professionally... as if to suggest it is as simple as that (it isn't is it?!... or am I missing out) So not only do you 'only hear about the winners' they...

thats right. I'd rather learn my trade losing $100 max then stepping up rather than busting out as you learn. Not saying that is the way I went about it but it is where I am now, haha :D Everyone is a superstar and profit-maker when it comes to poker it seems. Someone mustn't be telling...

everyone has their own limits and budgets. better to stick in there for the 4 hours than walk away with nothing I say, good learning experience.

Appreciate your words guys - some really good analysis there that actually has some meaning. Hopefully I have learned from this and next time I come out on top :o Thanks Black Thunder, ppg05 and daytripper. Keep up the good work guys.

Appreciate the comments. How would have others played this? I had hoped someone would call so I'm not really concerned about how it smells - to my knowledge the odds would be well in my favor and it seemed logical rather than slow playing it... I can see your point of view regarding...

I don't doubt the credibility of that strategy online. People like to move along quickly, particularly if they are only playing a table at a time. Even if you don't consciously note how long people are taking to call/raise/bet you sub-consciously factor it it when you make a decision - I'd be...

Here is one for you - after a horrid Friday night (lost on AA, lost with KQ (paired Q) to Q6 with 6 on the river... etc) I dodged the online tables for the weekend. I step into a 45 player SNG, on the final table get dealt QQ. Nice to see I've turned into another poker whinger... :rolleyes...
