In my country banned offline poker!) Even play for fun illegally.

:confused: really?

В соответствии с пунктом 65 раздела II "Перечня видов спорта признанных в Украине" утвержденного приказом Государственного комитета молодежной политики, спорта и туризма Украины № 261 от 07.02.2001 спортивный покер является видом спорта в Украине.

- only tournaments, not cash! there are no competitions in cash.

Следовательно, суд констатировал, что покер — это интеллектуальная спортивная игра, в которой участники соревнуются между собой по утвержденным правилам в умении и мастерстве вычислять различные математические вероятности и шансы на победу в каждой отдельной раздаче и в целом в соревновании, верно оценивать тактику и стратегию игры других соперников, следовательно, соблюдение правил вида спорта не приводит к нарушению Закона Украины «О запрете игорного бизнеса на Украине».


- as i know you can play offline also like online in Ukraine!

CHECK THIS: WSFPT Just remember, there are no freerolls offline! Maybe thats why its banned for some players :D

In Kiev, was closed all the places where the game was practiced in poker. You do not know how to respect the laws of our country? show at least one legitimate place where people come to play for cash or tournaments with prize money?
online only):jd4:

I play live occasionally now at a local tribal casino. Actually won about $10K on a bad beat jackpot not too long ago playing $4/$8 limit O8.

Haven't been back for months - it seems like every time I go the people who play small stakes games are all regulars.

This would be fine, but they openly collude and are generally unpleasant to be around (when these are the regulars the staff won't do anything about it apparently).

Good luck to you! :D

Is this casino in the northeast i find that story hits home and its a problem but its my home court so i thats were i grind plenty of fish swimming thru

No, it is not in the northeast, but I'm not surprised to hear this is a problem elsewhere.

Small stakes live games are hard to beat for a significant sum consistently (with the rake). This tends to lend itself to sourness and people looking to gain an edge on everyone else by any means possible.

Not the norm from what I hear but not surprising either.

Good luck to you! :D

It often seems that CardsChat is filled with a lot of online micro to low stakes players, which is fine and definitely a blast to read about, discuss, and learn from as we hone our skills and practice our passion of poker together.

But I'm curious as to how many people here play live poker:

And if so what stakes, location (casino, home game, underground), format/type, frequency.

I'm also wondering if the mods have considered a live game sub-forum under one of the main headings depending on how many folks enjoy live poker.

:D
I played live 1/2 NL Holdem game for about 5 years. It's a grind. Same boring place on a beautiful summers day. Same dull bunch of losers, lugging their crap behind them.

The really heavy part of playing live is just how slow the game can be. Whoever overcomes their boredom the best, wins. To sit for hours waiting for a perfect situation takes serious patience and discipline.

Also there is normally a much limited selected of tables and games. Its not like online , where you can jump in and out as you like,

I play live whenever I can. Lake Charles, LA is only a few hours away, and I'm in a few local games. I also find a way to play when I travel. I'll be in San Francisco for about three weeks this month, and plan to play daily at the poker rooms there.

I play every 2-3 months in Niagara Falls, NY. Usually see the same local crowd. It is competitive, but usually friendly. I play $1-2 NLHE. I take $200 bankroll; if I lose, so what; it's less than my wife spends shopping at the Factory Outlet mall.

I play live regularly, it helps that I live 7 minutes away from my local Poker room.
I play online when I am just relaxing at home and dont feel like going there and sitting for 12 hours.

I think most of the people here play just online. It,s easier to play online poker right now, then to travel somewhere to play live. Also poker is out of law in lots of countries, so, most of the people prefer to play online.
