The key is patience. Don't call on a good hand when bets are made. Irrational and stupid bets. I've come to understand that I'm not playing to win, but playing against those that would make me lose.
The average internet poker player probably has the patience of a two year old. So many hands so fast. I must call or even raise as soon as I get a decent hand. Including not folding a good hand when another player raises and presents they might have a better hand.
The main problem now with Absolute Poker is that everyone, or every AI as I should say, has standards on betting and raising before a hand is made. They bet and hope to catch. And they bet big time.
I took my 1,000,000 plus chips to a 7 stud high low tonight, and put 9,000 of them on the table. First 7,000 I played normal poker and lost. Added 2,000 more and went into "Forget that this is real poker, let's see what is going on" mode. I was very disappointed. The cards seemed stastically real. I won some and lost some and the chips are still about the same.
After the 2,000 chip stack refresh I had still been logged in for 1 hour and 45 minutes. And then the shift change came in.
Previous to the shift change I couldn't buy a hand if I walked up to those that ran the game and handed them a check. After the shift change I had about one deal around the table where as is epected on this site players raising like like crazy.
And the chat - !:45 of virtually no chat. Shift change comes on and suddenly everyone is a Chatty Cathy. I watched this bad movie and basically broke even. Up next, almost instant a comfession on my bad (or myabe not.)
