I hope I got this right 😀

BUT IS THERE A BETTER COMPUTER FOR PLAYING ONLINE? WOULDN'T THE INTERNET BE BETTER, BECAUSE I SOMETIMES TURN OFF MY COMPUTER AND DUE TO THE CONNECTION..

BUT IS THERE A BETTER COMPUTER TO PLAY ONLINE? WOULDN'T THE INTERNET BE BETTER BECAUSE IN MY THINKING I'M TURNED OFF SOMETIMES AND BECAUSE OF THE CONNECTION..

An etiquette is not to write ALL CAPS as well. 🙂

BUT IS THERE A BETTER COMPUTER TO PLAY ONLINE? WOULDN'T THE INTERNET BE BETTER BECAUSE IN MY THINKING I'M TURNED OFF SOMETIMES AND BECAUSE OF THE CONNECTION..

I personally prefer playing online on a computer — I feel that most machines will perform fine provided the internet connection is reliable. 🙂

Just nudging this topic so folks might check before posting here. 🙂 Many threads end up here that would fit better in one of the other sections listed above.

I posted a thread titled hand of the day to share some wild hands (https://www.casino.us/poker/strategy/poker-hands/) I’ve seen recently to talk about — I found it after posting and now I’m not sure whether it belongs in tournament poker, hand discussion, or somewhere else …. 🤯 sorry

I created a thread in "hand of the day" to share some wild hands I've seen and to discuss them — I only discovered this after posting, and I'm not sure whether it belongs in tournament poker, hand discussion, or somewhere else…. 🤯 Sorry

No problem — I can look it over for you and relocate it if needed.

Tammy, are we allowed to promote online poker (https://www.casino.us/poker/) clubs in here?

Tammy are we allowed to promote online poker clubs in here?

If we are talking about private poker clubs, then the answer would be no since this is some form of advertising which is against our site rules.

Hope that helps. 🙂

thanks!

Thanks i hope i understand

Experience matters above all. You need to practice extensively.

So Tammy, you keep bringing up my concern about fair play. Can you tell me why?

So Tammy you keep pulling down my that concern fair play. Can you tell me why

I merged a thread that was the same topic as another you had already created. I did look and see that a couple of your threads were deleted because you already had other threads up on that same topic. They could have potentially been merged with those threads, but you also aren't very clear with a lot of your thread starters as to what your point is.

In your thread about PokerStars MI, I did a little quick research for you and offered you some info.

If you want to avoid threads being deleted, here is some advice:

Don't create multiple threads on the same topic - keep it to one to avoid confusion or deletion.

If you do create a new thread, remember you are starting a new topic - so if you want decent and relevant replies, you have to do a good job of laying out what you are talking about. Don't assume people have read any of your other threads or posts.

Make sure you aren't being rude or insulting to community members. This isn't Reddit or the Facebook comment section. If you want to get your point across, you'll have better luck if you aren't insulting people right out the gate.

Appreciate the helpful information~

Checked for content, May 23, 2025. 🙂

Understood, sometimes you know by instict what should and shouldn't be mentioned, but us always good to have understood the rules for postings.

thanks

Thank you

River has been hitting 1% lately, and so for the time being I'm the one becoming denser — particularly when I'm a bit more interesting — though it might simply be a rough streak.

Thank you very much. Do you think there are any other possible ways? Thanks again.

Thanks for putting together these guidelines. I think having different sections for specific topics makes the forum much easier to navigate and helps members find the right discussions.

As someone who is still learning and improving my poker skills, I appreciate knowing where to post questions and share experiences. A well-organized forum makes it easier for players of all levels to learn from each other.

Looking forward to participating more in the CardsChat community!
