play chips anyone?
Posted on April 1, 2008
I have recently got my mum into playing poker online. She loves it and is doing really well at building her play chips up. She has made some good online buddies and loves it.
I let her use my Full tilt account and play some $1, $2 and $5 games. She struggled quite a lot as her play was so loose, due to the kind of play on play chip games. She thought playing K4 suited was ok because they were suited and, hey, the King is a pretty good card right!?!?!? I explained that she was out of position, she had a crud hand and if she wanted to gamble, go play bingo.
She then had King Jack and was middle position and had seen a raise before her, yet she still called with it!?!?!? I asked her why and she explained it was a good hand and there was not much that could beat her. I asked what she thought about any pair someone may have, or KQ, or Ace rag and she went quiet. I asked what kind of hand would be raising under the gun and sure enough the guy had aces.
What is weird, is I had helped her become a tight player in live games, yet all this has one since playing play chips.
I guess she is happy playing for fun with nice people and isn’t bothered about making money, but can poker without the money have the same buzz? I think not.
Anyway, look out for KickerKath on UB and be nice if you see her.
Cheers
Lee
