When i mean real live game i dont mean a home game with friends i mean in a place where there is a rake and you play against strangers live and it went well. I only played for 1 and 1/2 hours at a 1/2$ table and only made 15$ but it was alot of fun. Also when me and my friends went into the game we thought we were going to be crushed by people who really know what they were doing but when we sat down and saw a guy mistake his 4 card straight for a real straight we knew we were gonna be just fine. My friend ended up down 20$ but we knew if we stayed there it would have all come our way because these guys were not good at all. They were all super-loose but not in an aggressive way more like a passive loose calling station type players. I must say though live play in my opinion is a lot more fun that online play.

Thats cool. I agree with live play being more exciting. It's also nice to have your cards in front of you were you can see them. You also have control over the deck and shuffle and all of that. You can also see the other peoples faces when you take a crap load of money from them (best reason).

OMG, this is the way I have been trying to word my hatred for titan pokers horrible players. Very well said drag00n. They're are so many bad players that since they all stay in on you it's tougher to win. You have to wait them out first and then play it out. Your problem is with a cash game you can't wait them out. LOL

Well done on making a few bucks and getting past the Live Game jitters. It is exciting to watch other players make bets, then all eyes are on you to see your move. And when you win and stack your chips, its very satifying. Just play tight-aggressive and you should be OK overall. It looks like you also started with NL, which is more nerve wracking than Limit. Congrats and by the looks of your tournie play it looks like you've got some potential. Good Luck. Any other interesting hands?

Some of the drawbacks are that some players really have no idea on even the basics (how/when to bet) and it's just aggravating when the game slows down. The amount of hands per hour is half (at most) of online. Most players that I've seen on my three Limit outings are just there to play lotsa hands and have a good time (win or lose).
