    Did you start with play money before playing real money poker?

    I love to play video poker video games. In that case, I would advise people to improve skills that way before using real money. However, though, I'm not sure how realistic the computer/video games are, so don't take my advice without research.

    What's the Basic Math for Poker Players

    I'm not sure if most seasoned poker players are mathematicians. It would be like how the Beatles were awesome musicians, but couldn't read music. Do you see what I'm saying?

    Do you consider talking during poker game as lack of etiquette

    Do you prefer playing online or offline poker?

    I've not tried online. I think I would prefer to play games of "real money" offline in a casino or video poker room. Of course, I would go for video poker, as I have some background in it.

    What are the possible taboos in poker?

    You're not supposed to use hand signals with other players, who are also in on the scam. Casino security is all over that, of course. Has anyone seen an example of this in movies? I saw it on the movie Casino (1995).
