I've only managed to get like .25 bitcoins so far from mining ( a month) and i was thinking maybe i can grow it faster by playing online bitcoin poker.
Im a pretty decent player and of course there is a big chance of me losing, but i am willing to take the risk.

Do any of you guys do this? If so, which site do you use?

Doesn't playing poker for an income sound too good to be true?

No matter how lucky or good you are a gambling, you can't always be the winner.

As you lose you'll have to take bigger risks to recover, this will most likely drive you bankrupt.

Actually poker also takes skill, so if you are a skilled player yes you can always win. Provided you play in real life.

I don't think thats entirely accurate. There are many successful, online and live poker pros. Poker is not necessarily gambling but more about statistics and being able to know when your had.

The only main *risk* with Bitcoin Poker is you don't have regulated sites like Pokerstars, etc. that are audited and tracked properly to ensure they are not pulling off the next Full Tilt Scam/Insert other Black Friday Sites here.

I've actually made money playing online poker. I've been playing for like 10 years and i play a few times a week in a casino! Also, my buddy in OR put himself through school playing online poker! I'm not really worried about losing everything because i play tournaments only. I just wanna know of a site that doesn't fuck their users over.

Poker sites:

sealswithclubs.eu has the most players / activity.
pocketrocketscasino.eu is good if you like OFC or have DOGE.
betcoinpoker.com is new but doing a good job with their tourneys.
satoshipoker.org had a lot of nice tourneys but traffic declined a bit last few months.
gridpoker.eu some decent small tourneys, and also OFC

Disclosure: I did add some referral links in these above links. Not to get rich but simply cuz I was going to link to them anyway.

In poker you win or lose from other players. Not from the house.

But only like 30% of the players are profitable.. so it's not "easy money" for everyone.

The house always wins... When your playing a game that uses the house.
Poker is head to head no house involvement. Unless he;s playing against the dealer which I don't think was his idea.

Poker is a great way to earn some extra BTC, or cash.
People do make a living off playing, and those are the ones you need to lookout for.
Watch for bad beats as well.

Online poker is not REAL POKER! You can't go into it thinking  just playing poker will give you a chance to win lol I'm a avid poker player played on Fulltilt made Final table quite a few times and Pokerstars and almost made it on T.V was in the finals before they pulled the plug when BLACK FRIDAY CAME.I didn't make it on poker skill alone.......
First thing you have to realize THERE ISN"T A POKER PROGRAM IN THE WORLD THAT CAN SIMULATE REAL PLAY! There is over a billion random possibilities that there just isn't a COMPUTER STRONG ENOUGH TO PREDICT TRUE OUTCOME even  the Governments computers couldn't compute that outcome! You will never get TRUE ODDS like a LIVE GAME ! What you do get is what makes you perceive as true oddsI'll tell you that much! You have to have poker knowledge to win of course but it's really a entirely different game and takes a lot more then Poker Know How to win.There's a flaw in all poker programs and if your smart enough to figure it out? YOU CAN WIN!and it's a SECRET many onliners KNOW including me but I ain't telling I had to pay big money for it Grin But if you don't already know what it is? Skill alone isn't going to do it the odds are seriously against you because you will be playing thinking you have REAL GAME ODDS.

Your either part of THE SOLUTION?Or your part of THE PROBLEM!

Seriously, what are you talking about? "Poker program" ?? "it's a SECRET" ??

On online poker sites people play against other people. Not against a program.

I think you lost to mutch on online poker and blame it on some rigg.
The odds are true but say that it is like you say it is: "You will never get TRUE ODDS like a LIVE GAME". Then its this for all players = fair.
Or are you one of them that always are the one that have that extra unluck? Like if the casino was against especially you. Like they programmed it to be against THAT player, no one else.

Same here, having played online and live. In fact, I lived at Sam's Town Casino and Resort in Tunica for two years straight, having the room comped a majority of the time for playing on their tables X hours a day.

I've lived in Biloxi for almost two years, and lived in Las Vegas six times, six months at a time. The entire time playing poker until playing the slots became more profitable.
