You have to be very, very good at poker to beat 1/2 online. Anyone that can do that can destroy 1/2 live.

very good is a subjective term. Most poker players are lazy and undisciplined, even the 1/2 regs.

Theoretically. It's really a different game. The other thing you have to remember is that you see so few hands live compared to online. Many internet players really lack patience. If you 3-table online you see, what, 150-200/hr? Live, you see 20-25, since most dealers suck.

Well, come on, we need at least one more player.
You've saved about a thousand bucks quitting smoking, you can do it.

Hoot, are you going to take care of things or just not play anymore. You should just give them what they want.

Yea, you ask to play 1/2 and youre either given a table to go play at or put on a waiting list (Theyll call your name when theres a seat for you)

Then you go to a person sitting in a "booth" area and give them $100, $200, etc and they give you the chips. After your done (If you still have chips) go back to the "booth" area give them your chips and you get money back.
