Fucking USD

fucking dollar is ruining every foreign poker player

sorry about that guys

Yeha id be pissed about that too ...

but i changed to a € site when it was 1,472
i made 10 $ last 2 weeks ;P just from weak dollar ^^

yah our fed bank keeps lowering the federal funds rate which basically pumps a ton money into the system... yet it still seems to not worry about inflation.

Czech crown is the fastest-growing currency in the world....

not mexico since our economy is dependant of the united states if they go down so do we so i really dont give a flying fuck about dollar fluctuations

Polish zloty strengthens really fast as well .

some time ago 1$ was about 3 polish zlotys..
now 1$ is 2,35 zl...........

its bs thats all coz of they steal oil from iraq and afganistan althought they have oil in the USA but they dont fucking use it ... way to go steal rather than to use ur oil fields.

The fucking czech krown is gonna kill me

ppl should start playing with EUR
Any1 knows good sites?

i remember once 1 euro was like 1 buck
now imagine 1000 euro is like 1474 for forex 1504 in yahoo converter
is live is that cheap now in usa? no prejudice about that..
cos in finland live is pretty expensive..

price of car.. (research mercedez and compare with your country) ..lots of finnish go to germany to buy car..

way to stay on topic...anyways ya U.S. economy sucks because noone understands inflation

yea $ annoys the shit out of me too, i can't understand why softwares that do not accept us players stick to $

when i buy 1000 euro from poker star they give me only 1486 ?

anyway doesnt matter if you play in us dollard, Yen or currency from Uranus, if you suck at poker won t definitely help a lot..
and in us if you play some micro i think that you can play more sng, tourney..it s more fun in dollard..
with 10 euros you can play 10 mini sng in b2b for example and with 15 bucks( 10Euro) play like 15 sng in Ps..
sounds ridiculous but i think that s it s more fun in us dollars when you start.. like if i play a live game i would prefer to play in usa than in europe..don t think that i will make the same bluff in euro..my currency

Even Euro go down allot, 10% in last year and USD 20%, zloty go up, and prices go up it is fucked up.

I thought that at first , too

But then when i changed to € it makes no difference

As soon as your at the tables for me money somehow isnt real money anymore.
It all becomes a game , wehere u try to get as many chips as possible by making + ev descisions.

when the session is over is actually the only time i am aware that i won or lost money.

during a game its just all about gathering as many chips as possible no matter if its $ € or whatever.

So id definitely do the same bluffs and play absoultely the same way

i remember when i started playing it was sth like 3.70 or so, insane

i agree too, but i can t say to my girlfriend that i lose a lot of chips..if i lose lots of money she won t understand hihi
i agree with you the best way to win is avoiding the value of the money in game,..it s just after when you lose it , that you realize some
consequent...
i think what you say it s true when you find your limit and have the bankroll who can afford the limit you play
so you can play confident and don t think about the money.

So conclusion of all that,thread we don t focus on the money, whatever is the currency! we just play our game , find our limit and with the good BR., then after we post our FK bad beat in liquid poker and ask advice for pro..

ur so stupid

Suck with a weak $. Euros are fine, but it feels much cooler to play with dollars somhow.
On that note, a dream of mine has always been to sit down at a live cash game, and say:
"I bet... one million dollars.", and do that Dr. Evil-thing with my pinky finger.

i agree with greenbastard ( look like us dollard= green )
why we should play in us...

Jonathan H. Green makes one of the earliest written references to Poker in 1834. In his writing, Green mentions rules to what he called the "cheating game," which was then being played on Mississippi riverboats. He soon realized that his was the first such reference to the game, and since it was not mentioned in the current American Hoyle, he chose to call the game Poker.
The game he described was played with 20 cards, using only the aces, kings, queens, jacks and tens. Two to four people could play, and each was dealt five cards. By the time Green wrote about it, poker had become the number one cheating game on the Mississippi boats, receiving even more action than Three-Card Monte. Most people taken by Three-Card Monte thought the 20-card poker seemed more a legitimate game, and they came back time and time again. It would certainly appear, then, that Poker was developed by the cardsharps.

The origin of the word Poker is also well debated. Most of the dictionaries and game historians say that it comes from an eighteenth-century French game, poque. However, there are other references to pochspiel, which is a German game. In pochspiel, there is an element of bluffing, where players would indicate whether they wanted to pass or open by rapping on the table and saying, "Ich Poche!" Some say it may even have derived come the Hindu word, pukka. ( omg)

Yet another possible explanation for the word poker, is that it came from a version of an underworld slang word, "poke," a term used by pickpockets. Cardsharps who used the 20-card cheating game to relieve a sucker from his poke may have used that word among themselves, adding an r to make it "poker." The thought was that if the sharps used the word "poker" in front of their victims, those wise to the underworld slang would not surmise the change.

Anyway if we play poker we better stick around dollard, cause due to the origine , and what represent the dollard in the world , the gold west, the american dream, doyle brunson, sitting bull ( ?!), jennifer tilly (???), boobs ( ah ok!) , las vegas, MIB, and the day "G" in normandie, ( not really the G point idiot)....
Euro is the biggest shiit who came in EU, i speak for the old Europe, everything is expensive since that ...just ask around you..
i am glad that country like Great britain can resist to that...or other scandic country do well without beeing in EU. ( maybe this is for another thread)

cheers everybody
