i was curious why i play online and profit, but when i have a home game with my friends i could never win .. one day i decided the same thing, no bluffing, show down good hands and see what happens.

my friends are maniacs, so i started playing 3 of a kind or bette ragainst (they would bet any pair real strong)

soon as i noticed what hands on average were being showndown the most, i decided to play hands stronger then that IE: 3 of a kind or better, and havent looked back since.
