Speaking of Online Poker…

March 11, 2011

I’ve really been enjoying playing the multi-entry $1+$.10 Rush On Demand tournaments on Full Tilt lately. I wrote up a little post about them for the Poker From The Rail blog last week that you can read here. I was enthusiastic about them even before I had much success playing them – when I wrote the post I was in the middle of a really bad slump that’s since been replaced by a handful of top-nine finishes and even a few times where I’ve taken two or three stacks down to the final 18.

I’m not going to get rich playing them, but they’re good cheap entertainment. I think one of my favorite things about them is that there’s almost never time for people to use the chatbox. Some people still use it, of course, but their comments are rarely seen by their intended targets. And pretty often the things they say are ridiculous enough to make me chuckle, like the other day when I got called a “luckbox” by the guy who shoved preflop with sevens only to run into my tens.

The upshot is that I almost never see any of the words below, with the exception of maybe a “lol” here and there – it’s like the online equivalent of wearing headphones in a live poker room and that makes for a pretty smooth, enjoyable experience.
