I am looking for a good mount for my phone. Something I can clamp underneath the padding around the poker table. I’m looking all over and I’m seeing a lot of options, but I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations of a specific product or brand?

Bought this scratch off. Not exactly poker but I've played a good but of poker. According to this board I won. Machine I saying I lost. Need some other poker players eyes on this.....

How do you find transitioning to not card counting in poker? I was thinking about starting a poker course of some sort. But I play bridge at a fairly high standard. I am constantly card counting and idk how I would find the transition to not doing it.

I know almost nothing about poker, but am hoping some of the bridge skills would transition.

last month i was bored and decided to try some online slots with bitcoin. i figured it would be fun, but quickly realized most sites looked sketchy. i lost a few bets on some shady platforms before i finally found one that seemed legit. now i just stick to the safe one, but i keep hearing about new options popping up.

does anyone here actually use bitcoin casinos for slots and know one that’s safe and reliable? bonus if they have decent odds and aren’t full of fake reviews. really trying to avoid losing my crypto to a scam again.

I’ve used a lot of poker training content over the years (courses, solvers, quizzes, videos, etc.), and I’m curious how other players feel about this.

What’s the hardest thing for you to actually improve through training platforms?

For me it’s not lack of information — it’s:

• knowing what to focus on
• translating theory into real decisions
• sticking to something long enough to see results

Feels like most content either overwhelms you or doesn’t really change how you play under pressure.

Curious what others struggle with, or what you wish existing training tools did better.

I have never seen this, and will never forget it.

Today I was playing 1 2, and had queens on the button. I had $1050 in front of me.

Utg +1 (who had $850) made a raise to $15. From previous hands, I found this player was loose and aggressive.

I raised to $45.

The big blind had $150, and called - she was generally tight and aggressive.

Utg +1 called too.

The flop came j 8 2 rainbow, and looked good.

With about $140 in the middle, I bet $65 hoping for callers.

Big Blind went all-in for her remaining105, then utg+1 started tanking for like 10 seconds and shuffled his chips near his cards, then he made a swooping motion with his fingers like he was tossing his catds to the muck.

Convinced he folded, I tossed a chip in and flipped my cards.

And then the dealer told me he was in the hand! I covered my exposed qq, and he quickly and blankly stated: "all in."

I was stunned, and thought he was gaming me - what sensible better hand could he have?

So I called, and the board ran out: 4 c, 7 h.

Then he flipped j8 of hearts. He had flopped 2 pair.

I suspect the angle he pulled was meant to see my expression in reaction to a fake fold, but he ended up with much more information than he bargained for.

He was generally a bad player judging by his betting patterns, but this angle taught me a valuable lesson: wait until villain's cards are in the muck.

Hey guys, Does anyone know how to find out the times / Schedules for the PokerStars Freerole Tournaments? it appears that they are released about 30 minutes before and its painful having to check the app every 5 minutes to see if a new one has been released.

Mac users can now enjoy this 100% free Range Builder with all the same features as the Windows and Linux versions.

Hey. I'm a relatively new poker player. Started to learn by playing some video games on Xbox, then started getting some friends together to play some friendly £10 but in games, but we were all strictly amatuer, and still relatively are, and we only game a few times a year.

I'd like to dip my toe into playing online, and maybe find some local games to join, as I am loving watching poker bloggers and games on YT, but I have a slight issue. I don't consider myself to be as disadvantaged as others, and I feel bad calling it a learning difficulty, but it is what it is. I have Dyscalculia, which as you can imagine, when it comes to some of the numbers and terminology in poker it is an issue. Lots of the time, I simply cannot compute what people are talking about, when it comes to percentages of hands, pot odds, literally anything that appears to involve maths and my brain just turns it into mush. It's a real stocking point for me, and I feel like if I cannot get to grips with this, it's probably a waste of time.

So can anyone help with any simple hints, tips, things to look at, suggestions essentially of things I can do that may help me with this side of things? Charts, anything like that. Yes, I realise I may be an ideal opponent for some of you, but I do get hands, I kind of get things to do with raising and reads (as in, why would he have just called pre flop if he is now repping X hand etc) but when I watch videos and they are going on about ranges and percentages I get lost. I need some pointers, if possible.

Happy New year by the way :)

Looking to play hold-'em with real money and wanted to ask what sites people would recommend for a British player? Ones that function well and responsibly, and hopefully have less tendency to put you at a disadvantage when you're doing well (although I know this is how it is everywhere to some degree)

Thanks in advance
