    Hey pokerheads,

    Great posts in general by the way, I'm a recent poker addict - started playing virtual on Betfair about a month ago as I use betfair for betting. Moved on to real money games last week - 50c/$1. The level of play even on the real money tables is terrible. I lost my whole balance to a guy last night who stayed in with 3 of a straight and made it on the turn and the river.

    What's the best site for getting a feel for the real game with genuine players?

    Also, I'm having the guys in work round for a game next weekend - is it possible to buy poker chips somewhere in Dublin??

    Most poker sites are similar standard wise. I play VC but it has plenty of bad players. I've given up on cash games.
    Special Days on Grafton site/Liffey Valley is probably your best bet for poker chips at a reasonable price.

    Get used to it mate, I have found that because of the low level of players, trying to pull off intricate manouvres and tactics will get you burned....
    I have lost quite a bit online because of muppets playing crap and getting cards on the flop/turn/river when someone with experience will not even think of playing those hands. Crap players wont see the danger of what you are doing, when a good player would bin his cards...

    I also dont 100% trust online poker, call me paranoid or whatever, but its like it wants you to bet, giving you cards that make you keep going etc.

    Anyway, I took a break for a while and now I only play good hands, no ****, only on the blinds and when Im not raised.

    ShortStack mentioned that he was selling the aluminium cases with 500 chips for 126 euro (or thereabouts) which is pretty good value, although if you're not in a hurry you can buy 650 on the web for slightly cheaper..
