Hello and welcome to /poker/!
This board is for the discussion of any and everything related to poker. Any form of poker is allowed and other forms of gambling are welcome as well including casino games and sports betting.
Have fun, enjoy your stay, and most of all: Good Luck!
Is it even worth it to try and learn now?
1. the population has been shrinking since black friday, and it's not the fish that are staying
2. all of the poker giants have at least 7 years experience, and they all had the luxury of learning in a much, MUCH softer environment
3. the nosebleeds consist of the exact same 10 guys waiting for the odd millionaire to come and spew some funds
4. FR is pretty much dead over 100nl
5. 6max is pretty much dead over 500nl
6. jungleman agrees that online poker is dying a slow death
by the time you become excellent, there won't be much value for you to scrape out
This board alive at all?
Anyone has any wining systems in online casinos or something?
Finnish RAY type advice would be really apreciated

Where are your favorite places to play? I've tried it all: Online, Brick and Mortar Casinos, and Home Games.
They all have their advantages and disadvantages. I think which one you prefer says a lot about your personality. Online players are more introverted and enjoy working from home. Home Game regs enjoy the social aspect of the game, and are more likely to be far away from a Brick and Mortar, whereas BnM regs either moved somewhere to be close to the casino or are willing to drive a decent amount to play a lot.
I prefer BnM personally because after spending a good amount of time somewhere you learn who to play with and how, and can have solid game selection if you make friends with the dealers and floor. The only drawback is being around degens all day can rub off on you a little. It's hard to keep poker and other gambling separate when everyone around you is doing it. Thoughts?
Hi can someone tell me where to get to San Jose???
