won 1st three games, second once and third twice... thats all my games I didn't bust at all. Over-all increase my chipstack quite a bit... I'm going to play Sundays from now on lots of fish and games were good. Wont ever sink any more money in but it was a good day for poker
yea I play online mostly... I used to play with the blackberry crew from RIM IRL and man did those guys have money to lose lol. They had a professional dealer and games were every friday night. The odds were a LOT more realistic, not many crazy bad beats like I see in the online stuff. I do think the companies have a lot to gain by making people periodically lose everything. Backgammon online sounds awesome but again I don't think online stuff can be trusted... I'm hoping to find a group around here to play with once a week... online is BS but I do like playing that's why I'm in this mess lol

All I have to play for in backgammon is a site ranking, but it's a fun way to have a 10min break. My partner was complaining about my luck in real life, so we started keeping stats on dice rolls - no evidence of my luck yet, but we've established that the dice we use are biased.
I play poker occasionally with a group from work. Zero stakes but we keep statistics and have the odd tournament day. I would not trust any online site with more than spare change.

I only play with a 25 buck card, I don't even use real credit cards. They're getting much worse. When I was younger I played 20-30 dollar 9 handed games and won enough to consider it full time work... I never did obviously but I took a hiatus for about 4 years and now I find that it's almost impossible to win consistently. One day I win every game, the next it's upset after upset and there's no way the math adds up after a while for either

I play the odd game of online backgammon - an opponent once suggested that the dice were rigged due to too many doubles. I dismissed it at the time as someone disappointed at losing.
I wonder if it could be a good strategy for sites when money is involved though - give each player a good little winning streak at low stakes to get them hooked and remain in their memory, then suck money out of them as they try to repeat it.
Saying you won't sink more money made me think you were playing online?
