Yes the less players on the table the stronger you need to play your cards. For example a Ace rag (ace with a low card) is a fairly weak hand on a ten person table but a monster heads up.

i dont have the application open in front of me (currently at work)
but i'm pretty sure you select No Limit, then cash or ring game (furthest left tab) then you just select your limits in the filters and away you go.
need to be careful with cash games though. it pays to play tight as a nun's.....

I'll be definitely up for that!
I used to have a game with regular poker players but one of them dropped out and then we didn't have enough players to keep it running but if a few members here want to have a game then i can get it running again.
Based in Melbourne Western suburbs. $20 per game, gets you about 20-25K chips. No re-buys. Money is usually split between 1st and 2nd (3rd gets their money back if there are plenty players). Games usually last about 2 hours so even if your not that good, $20 for 2 hours is good value!
Just let me know if your serious about having a game.

I was thinking an online game. Probably won't have enough people in the same area to organise a live game. I know on pokerroom you can set up your own games and give a password to the players so they are the only ones who can join the table. I'd assume you could do this on most other sites as well.

The poker stars in general do well, even being given appearance fees. Gambling is however an illness in all its forms as it becomes more and more compulsive, especially online. Online gambling should be banned!
Even President George Bush took steps against online gambling and he is a risk driven oilman.

point taken re: gambling, however i do believe poker is considered to be classed more as a game of skill as compared to gambling in games such as roulette etc. as found in this Colorado court room

I haven't played on Pokerstars but sounds like you are talking about sit and Go's with ultra fast blinds??
If that is the case best off avoiding them (from my experience).
When the blinds are going that fast it turns into an all in luck fest
Cash games are the best.
Use the profits for the tournaments.

Poker is a skill game.
Anyone that says it is gambling does not know how to play the game.

Regarding great poker shows to watch, Hgh Stakes Poker is without doubt the best poker show ever made.
There were four seasons made and I've watched every episode at least 4 times
One of the best hands I have ever seen:

You raise the Sevens four times the blind from the gun pre flop so the chap holding Ace rag one back from the button lays em down.
Now thats skill

I agree mate, he is a brilliant player, one of the best ever.
I have seen him call the exact hole cards of people at his table...spooky.

that's the beauty of No Limit you can bluff , only those who have played poker long enough will understand the skill involved.

yup i have seen him do this a couple of times. i think his ability of observation gives him an edge against other players.
Hi Guys
Just noticed this thread and thought I may be able to help you.
I have access to Pokerstars backend, so I can set up private tourneys for you.
Just give me the dates and times and passwords and I'll set them up.
All I ask is that anyone who is opens a new account there uses the pokerstars marketing code XXXXX when they set it up. It'll give you access to special bonuses and make you eligible for the 5 $2000 freerolls we run there every month plus others at different times.
Don't know about what your movements are like, but I have found private tourneys on Tues / Wed nights starting about 8:30pm/9:30pm usually suit the majority.
The minimum private tourney buy in is $5 and you can play any game like Omaha, razz or Horse; but if most of you are juts starting out it would be better to make it NL Holdem.
Give me some dates and times.

Sounds good ozpoker...
8-8.30pm AEST sounds good to me. I am in Brisbane, so 7-7.30pm (no daylight saving) works well for most canetoads I would think. Tue/Wed perfect!
