hi all ive been playing online now about 2 year and i tihnk alot of people just go all in with notihng at all, and call on the hope they hit that miracle ace on the river, do you agree and tihnk in real life games you see alot less, if so wouldnt it be a good idea if someone brought out a webcam poker site where you had to have your face online while playing this would make the game more intresting and give you more chance to get tells. the only tihng is how would you stop people from moving the cam off there selves

I dont really know about live gams as i havent played any as of yet but i do believe i have gained some bad habits from playing online such as calling hands like 7 8 or low pocket pairs even though i feel i shouldnt be playing them i do this even more whn playing on a bad beat table lol.
it would be interesting, but as you say it would be rife with problems. plus how would you be able to see everyone at once, 10 video streams would be very taxing on the old bandwidth

there is nothing wrong with playing hands like 78 suited, you just have to be playing them at the right tables, will people pay you off when you hit, and will it be enough, there is no point in playing these hands if you have a very shallow stack, you will notice this in tournaments, as the blinds go up peoples hand selction goes down, well the same thing should be true at ring games

I have seen a poker site that is in testing mode that uses webcams so you could see peoples face's. They are currently in a testing period and if you sign up now you recieve a free webcam on registratio0n. Im not too sure of the name of the site so give me a little while to find it and ill put it here.
i thought i would look into this, and you know how they say that porn is the drive behind %90 of the innovation on the internet, well i saw a site offering strip poker, using webcams, i find that so funny that it would be used for that before in major poker rooms
------------ and it looks like vegas bulldog is the site that you had heard of bakera

I like the idea of using web cams. I think I would let them iron out the bugs first, but it does sound promising down the road. Yea the strip poker sounds like a good idea also..lol.

i was thinking the same thing and i think it depends on what you play the higher limits obviously have less fish and more people who actually play.. but freerolls and and low mirco limits tends to be alot of all ins and stupid things floating around so if thats all you play sure your gonna get bad habbits and get breat up pretty bad at a casino or in live play

It seems like the online players play alot more aggresive than brick and mortar players. I think when I play B&M I get alot more impatient, because of how slow it is. Although I have to admit I do better in live games.

i find that if you play tight and only call and raise premium hand syou never hit the flop, its always the donkey who called and raised with 72 who hits and really gets on my tits because your there playing poker the way you should and they just stuff you over all the time
