As we all know the “War on Poker” continues since epic Black Friday. Bottom line, Professional Online Poker Players here in the US have very, very few options. Even to the point where players are moving out of the country and into Canada. (Which now is even becoming more difficult due to questions by border patrol
)Especially with the nation’s economy struggling the way that it is, seriously… is it such a good idea to deprive 50,000 people of their primary income. It’s heartless IMO. The impact is unbelievable.
In the light of this, just wanted to share some possible ways US players can potentially adjust to offline poker, and transition out of online.
But really, is this viable?
The great thing about online poker, was being able to multi table. So you could play a ton of small stack games and tournaments at the same time, and churn out your play that way.
Real world.. you are stuck with 1 table, and you’re stuck at the stakes that are given to you by the casino.
You’ve also had multiple chance to get into the larger tournaments at a lower cost and eventually to live events.
You won’t find regular 250K GTD tournaments for you in the real world.
Its tougher out in the real world, different pace, playing against season real world players, can’t play whenever you want too… !
Completely agree with Rak, real world poker is completely different to online poker. Where I live, players at the casino are super aggressive. Its so hard getting anyone to fold their hands, unless you do a really big raise (6-10 times the big blind). If that weren’t bad enough, sometimes it takes hours to get on a poker table if its a really busy night. Online poker is brilliant, its a shame that Black Friday had to ruin it for a lot of people.
Get in a car, and drive somewhere to play poker ??? I don’t think so. Kind of like asking me to travel around town on horseback.
