It's a tournament; there is no cashing out. If you don't make it to the money (top couple hundred or so), then you win nothing.Originally Posted by Peegee
Poker is more than reading people; it is also about odds and knowing the people you're playing with (how they bet, if they bluff a lot, etc.). Just keeping track of people's bets and hands can tell you a lot, at a no-limit game anyway (with a small limit, this info is much less useful, which is why I enjoy no- or high-limit games more). I'm not good at all at trying to "read" people (figuring out tells and reading facial expressions), but I'm good with math and remembering stuff, so I've been reasonably successful in the tournaments I've played in.I like playing poker. I'm not particularly good at it (ie reading people) but rather than giving away everything in case I ever play any of you, I'll just say that I have won 80$ [profit] playing at casino once. Usually I just play with friends and it tends to even out after several games [though I have gone through losing streaks too grumble], and I like it that way.
