This is obviously started by a person trying to advertise Btckings, but ok I'll bite.  I just checked your poker site and one of the things that discourages me, and most who wants to play online, is the low traffic.  What are your plans in fixing this and why do you think it'll be a different outcome from the other BTC poker sites who have failed?

Honestly, the only casino game that attracts me is poker but really it is no fun if we play it online. You can get the real thrill only in traditional land based casinos.

Obviously, it is not only AI that ruins fun in online poker but even playing with multiplayer, you can't get satisfaction and fun as well. Poker can be enjoyed at peak only in conventional casinos.
Technology has revolutionized our ways. It has facilitated us but nothing is perfect. Similarly, it is one of the cons of internet that people miss the real fun. I am also a poker player and seriously dude, poker can be enjoyed at peak only in land based casinos.

I tried it out with my friends at home but that was not very fascinating either. Dice is the right option to be played with AI.
Poker is a fun game which also providing opportunities to apply our experience. No doubt things have been totally changed within the last decade. No there is not a single place where we won't find computer and such machines. Like other games, poker is also played online and offline. We have gambling sites and land based casinos but the real fun is in real environment. However, playing with multiplayer online also is a good amusement.

I think for me for card games, it is better to gamble IRL. For me it is better because i could and really would feel or sense the enemy wether bluffing or really legit. Because most games online are always in all in mode and it is so boring. Especially if you have low chips. Bigstackers are always raising upon distribution of the card.

i like poker games i played it on my cellphone because it's okay to play it big money and lure the paycheck. If i play in casino i am looking for poker game but i need big money to play it.

I also play poker games in my mobile phone. I really like playing card games and my most favorite is poker. I always play this card game with my friends and cousins, sometimes with older people and I feel so much excited and thrilled. Maybe the reason why I feel like that is because I bet amounts with them and we always have a twist in the bet to make the games more exciting. I seldom play gambling card games online because I can't afford loosing to much bitcoin.

I have opened a dicussion thread in regards to bitcoin poker sites here Where do Bitcoin poker players play and why? and have to admit that the discussion is relatively quiet.

However, that does not mean that a well managed bitcoin poker site can not become one of the larger ones.

man that's pretty disappointing.. I wish more people were interested in playing poker online.
Than more people are in online gambling than less chances to win. Logically by my opinion  Smiley
I play on 888 only, they have free tournaments oftenly, so if I loose I loose only my time that I spent for the game, but not my money.

I played from 2012 to 2015, but couldn't turn it in to a main source of income, just probably didn't put in enough effort. I thought I might take another chance. So to people who have been playing online poker since early 2010s or even earlier, what is the biggest change that happened in the game in terms of how people play (more TAGs, less fish, wider 3bet range pre-flop,etc.) and how games changed on major poker rooms(structure,user base, rake, etc.)?

I have never tried site poker; I always play it in land based casinos. If you have left playing the game, does that matter how much changes have been made in gambling sites now? Poker is a gambling game and no doubt if someone has someone has good strategies, then he can win most of the times. This is what I have experienced in real environment. Sites have always an edge over the player.

In most modern poker games, the first round of betting begins with one or more of the players making some form of a forced bet (the blind or ante). In standard poker, each player bets according to the rank they believe their hand is worth as compared to the other players. The action then proceeds clockwise as each player in turn must either match (or "call") the maximum previous bet, or fold, losing the amount bet so far and all further involvement in the hand. A player who matches a bet may also "raise" (increase) the bet. The betting round ends when all players have either called the last bet or folded. If all but one player folds on any round, the remaining player collects the pot without being required to reveal their hand. If more than one player remains in contention after the final betting round, a showdown takes place where the hands are revealed, and the player with the winning hand takes the pot.

With the exception of initial forced bets, money is only placed into the pot voluntarily by a player who either believes the bet has positive expected value or who is trying to bluff other players for various strategic reasons. Thus, while the outcome of any particular hand significantly involves chance, the long-run expectations of the players are determined by their actions chosen on the basis of probability, psychology, and game theory.

Poker has gained in popularity since the beginning of the twentieth century and has gone from being primarily a recreational activity confined to small groups of enthusiasts to a widely popular activity, both for participants and spectators, including online, with many professional players and multimillion-dollar tournament prizes.

Hi!
I was at the same situation as you just a while ago, until I find a very cool poker took who allows you to deposit with credit card/bank transfer but also in bitcoins.

You should try the site americancardsroom.

I can verify that I already withdrew and deposited into it and everything went fine, I got the payment with a delay of few hours but beside that it was awesome.

The online con is that there are not a big amount of players, an average of about 200 online players each time I was trying to play.
Give it a try!
Poker is some real fun and I think it is the most widely played casino game. I am also a poker player but honestly, don't you guys think that poker can be only thrilling in real atmosphere where you can see your opponent sitting across you. No matter how good of an environment is given by any site, it can never ever get to the level of land based casinos.

As a poker player i can call you, you are really experienced person who know about poker very well. But unfortunately i am not playing poker, because my experience in poker was very bad, That's why i play only sports betting, and some small games like dice. But as you explain about poker, the poker gamblers definitely get good thinking behalf of you.

I see that the gambling site are not really Rigged, and by seeing that graph we can say that the gambling site doesn't need to Rigged the game to simply get earnings, Even if there are certain site that are rigged not all site are, and I think they will not do such a thing.
In this world, every human wants to get more and more money. They are so naive and fragile that they cannot control their greed. In doing so, people trample all others under their feet. It is harsh but true. If a gambling site is rigged, it must not be very surprising. This is how things work in the real world but I am not an online poker player. Poker can be fun only in real environment.

I personally can't do much online poker anymore.  There seems to be far too many "bad beats" and one can only assume its rigged, even at fiat websites.  The person staying in has a 1% chance to win throughout the entire hand and then, bam, they get river and turn to go in their favor.  

You are doing something wrong. You probably get tilted after those bad beats and start playing emotionally. Everyone, even winner players, get bad beats and losing streaks. I don’t play in crypto sites because there haven’t nearly as much traffic as Pokerstars, and because there might be collusion, as it has been said, but I can assure you that none of the main fiat sites are rigged. It would be easy for a third party to prove it, and there wouldn’t be winning players.

And i dont think developers would waste time just for a rigged game. Totally worthless i would say. I came across many poker games and the luck is not just in the cards but on how you deal with them.  https://bitoker.com/dashboard This poker site is also good because it is only for poker and not a casino type but just a poker room. It is yet starting and im affiliated to any of them to advertise. I just want to share it with you if you want it.

Why wouldn't the developers waste time to develop a rigged game?
They are getting paid for that, per job or per hour, they don't mind at all what thing they are making/developing and what's their employer is going to do with their job, they are just working for money.
I think that their are a large amount of rigged casino games which we don't even know about and most of them are taking our money while we think that we lost at a legit way

No there aren't.

Otherwise I couln't have a graph like this one:



Notice that I'm having "bad luck" because my winnings are lower than the EV. You can see many graphs like that in poker forums.

It is much more simple than that: they make loads, and I mean loads of money, without the need of rigging anything.

I enjoy playing poker online, but I've had a hard time finding a place to play. many sites require you to download and install software. I don't necessarily mind doing that, but having a mac limits my options somewhat; it's far more convenient to play through a browser. that being said, nitrogensports.eu seemed like the perfect fit. I like the look and functionality of their poker client, which is all browser based. their hourly freerolls always attracted 50-70 entrants, with as many as 600 for special weekly events. nitro does well to respect players' anonymity, but that also provided for a great deal of collusion, which ultimately lead to the discontinuation of the hourly freerolls.

now that the hourly freerolls are gone, so are most of the players, which is arguably the most important aspect of a poker site. for the past few weeks, I've been playing at BTCkings.com, a relatively new poker site that exclusively deals in bitcoin. the only thing they lack is a solid player base. there are a handful of regulars who can be found playing there, as well as a few bots, but unless more people come, I can't imagine it will be around much longer.

I really hope more of you start playing there. it's a simple site that is easy to join and seems to be run by honest people. besides the small player base, I only have one little gripe, and it's purely superficial: the poker software, which is conveniently browser based, looks like a time capsule from 1997. I don't know why.. it just feels kind of dated. but I like that it's simple, and it seems to function just fine.. so if you can see past that, I'm sure you'll find it to be a fantastic option for online poker.

what's your experience playing online? and is there any place you can recommend?

thanks!

Hi, stevrev! I play on btckings too. I was even advertising the site wearing there signature for some time. What I can say is that the owners are honest people and that more than 10 people withdrew there winnings from there successfully, some of which won hundreds of USD in couple of weeks. I think the only thing this site lacks is a good advertising, because if more people knew it's legit they would play there for sure. So, if you ask me, I would recommend to play on btckings, because unlike other similar sites, which I tried too, btckings allows you to withdraw without any problems, which was confirmed by several other users in there official thread.
