My job? I play poker online on slot online indonesia
I play poker onlineWhen I meet someone new and they ask what I do, I just say 'I play poker'.
I make about $40 an hour on average and play poker 30 hours a
week - it's not quite a full-time job, and it leaves me time to do a bit of web
consultancy, read a lot of books, and go off on holiday without having to
arrange leave.
I just got back from several weeks in Puerto Rico, and I'm happy
to say that I didn't miss playing poker at all - that was quite reassuring.
If you're familiar with gambling in casinos, playing poker online
is essentially the same thing.
Unlike at a bricks and mortar casino, online you can play at more
than one table at a time. So sometimes I log into more than one poker site at a
time, which means that I don't have to be as good a player to make the same
amount of money.
'My poker face'
But in some ways, online poker is a very different game. It's a
lot faster, as there's no banter around the table. For casino slot online indonesia players,
this interplay is a central element of the game, whereas for me it's more
mathematical.
In fact, at a casino I'd be at a disadvantage because these
people know all about body language. I don't even know if I've got a poker
face.
One of the few times I went to a casino, I got a royal flush - it
does happen occasionally - and my hands were shaking so much that everyone
realised something was up. [The odds of being dealt this winning hand are about
650,000 to one]
But online, I could be shaking like a leaf in front of the
computer, yet it would just look like I was making a normal raise.
I'm trying to write a computer program to help me play better.
While I could try to program it to play while I'm not there, I'm not sure this
is my aim. I don't think I'm a good enough player to write a winning program,
and other players probably wouldn't like playing against a robot.
There's nothing secret about the way I play. The most common
mistake that beginners make is not folding [stopping betting on a weak hand]
early enough. I had to get over that and learn to sit a hand out.
'I lost $5,000'
My biggest wins have been about the same as my biggest losses -
just hopefully they occur a bit more frequently. In one day I've lost close to
$5,000, but I've also won about the same amount. One day I'm buying the beer,
the next I'm getting my friends to buy it.
My first big loss came when I had first started to get cocky. I
thought I was doing very well, when in fact I wasn't.
Over about three months, a friend and I had built up about $4,000
from an initial pool of $300, and I lost $1,500 in one day.
I had a huge loss of confidence. I read a bunch of books and
joined a couple of online forums on poker strategies. Armed with that new
knowledge I went back to playing about a year ago.
Even now, I'm constantly evaluating if I really know what I'm
doing. But there's always days when I can do no wrong, when every bluff I make
goes my way. I just have to treat each and every hand exactly like the one
before.
I consider gambling as something to tide me over while I figure
out what it is that I want to do next. So far it hasn't worked out quite as I'd
hoped - having no direction isn't a great way to get direction - but it's been
a wonderful vacation.
