Raise or Fold:  Learning (From) Poker

Writing and playing poker as if they were activities worth doing well.

For old time's sake...

...I just played a few hands in a mid-limit "cash" game on Poker Academy Online.

The room was filled with French players donking it up. The play was so incredibly bad, I mean MIND-BOGGLINGLY BAD, that it's impossible to imagine anyone could learn anything from it.

I need to check out the highest limit (PAX, of course) room again one evening, just to calibrate against my current cash game skills. Because either the players in general have gotten a whole lot worse, or I've gotten a whole heck of a lot better.

Microstakes online for real money is much more demanding than what I saw in that room. Just super-duper terribad.
