 |
|
| I just stumbled onto razz a few days ago and picked up the game fast and have been doing great. So im thinking i'm going to play for cash here on FT, but every1 here that i have talked to says you absolutely can not win at this site. I dont get it. If ur good, and play smart all the time, and really focus, how can u lose. Please, let me pick ur brain on this one. Peace |

If you play good solid poker, at games, and stakes you feel comfortable playing, you will eventually win money. If you've only played for play chips so far, you'll probably lose your money the first few times to deposit. I did, and I'm sure many other have, too.
The key is to try and make the money you deposit last as long as possible, so you don't feel like you're just throwing it away. I was more than happy to redeposit, multiple times, because I was having fun. The first 50 bucks I deposited last me about 50 hours. Each deposit since then has lasted longer, and longer.
And if someone tells you the site is rigged, just ignore them. The site is good, and legit. If people can't handle bad beats then they shouldn't play poker. |

| You know what, i agree with you, i think you can win. You just have to be patient with your game, and not rush things. I'm going to study the cash games going on here for awhile then BUY IN. Wish me luck. Peace |

| You can definately win. I turned 50 bucks into over 200, and I'm far from the most successful player here. Don't listen to everyone who says it's rigged - they just can't handle the occasional bad beat. If you stay calm, and handle the beats well, and don't tilt, you'll win. |

| I also started with 50 bucks and turned it into 250. If ou pla stupid and over your bank roll you will feel its rigged because you won't be able to take the swings of poker. You won't always win but if you play good and in your bank roll you can handle the swings, play longer and hopefully win some money. If you like razz try triple H 2 dollar razz tourny on fridays in the private tournies section the password is playlow. Their good players and is normally a good time and if you have an questions most will answer them. Good luck. |

| you can beat this site, many players including myself do... since you told me that you play w/ play money, you will probably get off to a rocky start, but if you stick to the fundamentals, your BR will grow |

| Didn't GripHoldOn deposit $50.00 and now has over $8,000? I'm pretty sure that's the case. If you play good solid poker and don't play higher stakes than you supposed to, than you can win at online poker. In online poker you'll see more beats because you play 2-3 times more hands than in a homegame or a casino. That's why theres the whiners about the beats. Good luck! |

| Yeah, I think that Grip told me that's what he did. It can be done, if you're good at poker. |

In the above statement I agree that it is true that you play 2-3 x's as many hands as in a real casino soyou will inevitably see more bad beats. But, shoundn't you also win 2-3 x's MORE money on-line than you do in a real casino??????????????????????
This is not happening!!!!!
RIGGED!!!!! |

It's also a lot easier to click the call button then to make a bad call when looking someone in the eye. This also will increase the number of bad beats your going to suffer from. |

| You should make more money online than in a casino, simply because online rake is much less than casino rake. |
