Lately I have been playing weekly at some of the Live Poker Pub leagues that have been running through out New Zealand. I have placed fairly highly in some of these games but it is a real struggle playing poker with a lot of players who really don't have a clue what they are doing. Its not really poker but it is fun and they are a great bunch of people. A few of my website members have been participating in these games but the main drawback with the whole tournament setup is: They offer re buys for buying drinks, which means if you drink you can get extra chips for purchasing drinks.
I don't drink so getting extra chips for me is not really an issue. I know that is how the pub actually makes money but I would rather find a Pub league that has a buy in tournament and when your out you are out of the tournament. Now That's Poker!
I have heard that there is a poker league in New Zealand that runs a tournament like this so I am on my way to check it out! I like playing in the live games and I have found that for the most part people really don't know how to play poker properly. Most of the time the players will play with any 2 cards. You cant really bully players because they will play with Crap cards and beat you anyway!
When you make it to the final 2 tables the play will actually start to settle down to some real poker play and normally this is always the same players so you do get to know the way certain players play. Its all a great deal of fun but I am really itching to play with some top notch players in a winner take all tourny!
So if anyone hears about where the game is Please let me know?
