Leaning in and leaning out is the whole reason I started this thread... I plan to play around with that, and watch for it.
Any other games out there? I kind of remember one where if you have the low club you auto get half the pot? Or something like that.
So many poker games... I should look some up.

Phla - I play "Texas Hold'em" online and when I get together with friends to play (very infrequent).
If you have the access, you can sign up at UltimateBet and play for free with "play chips". They have multiple games there and will show you how to play.
You can use my name for a reference if you like.

Originally posted by bekiekeI don't know for certan if it's still true, but I think it used to be that upon entering cyberspace the laws are very shakey. I haven't heard of anyone getting in trouble for gambling on line when gambling is illegal in their state because the servers are in a different state so the gambling could be said to be taking place in that state. However, when there are principles or money involved new laws can be brough out very quickly so I wouldn't guarentee that this is still true.

I did read one time about a lady in the US who bought 40,000 lottery tickets on line ($1/ticket). When she didn't win she refused to pay the credid card bill because she "couldn't have been gambling because gambling was illegal where she lived". She won the court case & didn't have to pay.

Originally posted by PhlabibitOne of my fav's 7-27 Everyone gets 1 card down,then 1card each in rotation if he/she wants a card.You bet every round even the first card down.Face cards are worth 1/2 point,Aces 1 or 11,everything else face value.Object of the game closest to 7 or 27.So obviously its a split pot,but it is possible to win both ie:having an 5 and two aces or 7-27.You keep betting as long as someone takes a card.If someone turns down a card 3 times in a row they are frozen with what they have.When everyone turns down a card,the game is at an end ,and each person must declare weather they are going high 27 or low 7,or pig, both7 and 27.The pots can get rather large,so its a good idea to lower the betting amount.So if your down card is a 7,you now know you have 1/2 the pot.A very good bluffing game.Iv'e won many a 1/2 pot going low with only a 1/2 point in the hole,but if everyone thinks it's a 7 they all start taking cards and go high.Hope it's clear,goodluck.Mike P.S.there are many variations to this game ie; if you go over 7 you must go high,if you go over 27 your out.

From my understanding - when playing poker - you are technically playing in the state that the server resides in. Therefore, you're playing in Vegas or where ever the company lives.
Okay, I was stomping around cyberspace and found a list of common "Poker Tells" for playing in the real world.
This is the list - most are common sense >
1. Watch the Eyes - This is why many pros wear sunglasses or visors/caps when playing, they know that the eyes rarely lie. For example, many players can't help but stare at big hole cards, so their length of time peeking is longer.
2. Facial Expressions - Again, many pros try to disguise their entire face by wearing a cap and looking downward. This is to avoid the classic stare-down that poker pros are famous for.
3. Weak is Strong/Strong is Weak - In its most simplistic form, this usually applies to novice players but frequently applies to pros as well. Basically, players like to be actors, and when they have a monster hand they tend to look disinterested.
4. Anxiety - Anxiety typically occurs in people when they are confronted, or anticipating confrontation.
5. Trembling Hands - Kind of speaks for itself.
6. Glance at Chips - Relating to the eyes. It is common for players to quickly glance at their chips if they connect with the board after a Flop.
7. Peeking Hole Cards on Flop - Some players will take another look at their hole cards when, for example, the board is showing a potential 3 card flush draw.
8. Repetitive Betting Patterns - Usually the most revealing tells are based on the way a player habitually bets during particular situations.
9. Body Posture/Attitude - Some players show obvious changes in their posture based on their attitude/hand strength. For instance, you may notice their shoulders drop/slump when they are not confident (weak hand).
10. Chip Stacking - When you first sit down at a table, study the way the players stack their chips.
Also, from my own world - I watch when folks splash the pot (ie - toss chips in the middle, disturbing what is there). My friends know it drives me nuts when they do it - so sometimes they do it to distract me!
Good Luck!
