Imaduck posted:Online poker never has been illegal in the US, except in Washington state. The issue is that banks are afraid to work with online poker sites because the laws are ill-defined. Most of the poker sites that were shut down were closed because they misrepresented what they were doing to banks, which is very illegal. The government has never gone after players on any poker site. Do you recommend a particular online poker service if you do live in Nevada? (Or NJ for that matter but I'm in Vegas myself so )

Imaduck posted:As we discussed above, No Limit Hold'em is not a solved game. What you're talking about would basically be a bot that does everything but the actual clicking for you. Like I mentioned, bots right now seem to be pretty lovely, so this probably wouldn't be helpful. Poker Tracker automatically hooks into e.g. WSOP's software and gives you the reports and this isn't cheating? Whaaaa? (edit) Random side note: wow the wsop software uses WISE installer, I haven't seen that in a fuckin' dog's age (edit again) oh I guess it is in fact illegal in Nevada. Question still applies for other areas though, jeez, just seems like a huge advantage to those in the know that such software exists. Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Jun 4, 2016 |

I suppose one nice thing about online poker is that I can alt tab and stare at Cheat Sheets For Stupid People With Bad Memories all I need, like remembering that 'no, A9o is actually kind of not great' for example

I played in one of the WSOP nevada freebie online tourneys yesterday and now I remember why I stopped going to poker rooms: it's pretty bloody loving boring 99% of the time. I saw 12% of flops which I guess is about right, but that meant most of the time I was ticking 'fold' for when my turn came around and alt tabbing to watch youtube or whatever. Not an option in live rooms, which are slower than online anyway. I wonder if cash games instead of tourneys would be any different, but I'd rather not spend a lot of money on it, so I probably won't find out. Question for the thread: how do you stay entertained at the table when it's boring? How much attention do you pay before you stop caring? I know I should be watching the other people's actions but really there's only so much I can learn at my novice level, and it's just not interesting to me if I've already decided I'm out.
