I was thinking to myself last night as I hooked up to the internet to Playpoker at my usual table. I play the same way every night. I sit there and wait for good cards to come and then I bet hard, or slow play. If I get good cards, I win. If I don't get good cards, I don't win. I thought to myself, "I might as well go to the casino and play blackjack." The sad truth is that, most people playpoker this way. The players that win, are the players that use these players to their advantage. I just realized that I am making other people money.
Playpoker Players: Picture if you will a place where you can play affordable online playpoker tournaments every day, high limit poker in class surroundings, low limit, 24 hour a day action and good food in smoking or non smoking atmospheres. Picture nineteen casinos through out the state, some with resort hotels and championship golf, each with its own brand of gambling. Poker tournaments from Tucson to Prescott with Tournament heaven in the Toronto area. Let's not forget the forthcoming Canadaian Poker Championships.
