A few months ago, I came across this discussion about RationalPoker.com. I found it interesting and I stored it away in the back of my mind for a time when I had the money and time to play poker. Last week, I made the jump and deposited $200 into an online poker account. I have been studying up on good online play at (2 + 2)[http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/], Pokerology and Play Winning Poker. Sadly Rational Poker has only a few post before going dormant.
From what I gather, playing poker is an exercise in individual instrumental rationality, and I thought some LWers would be players themselves, even semi-professional or professional players, or at least some might be interested in learning. Is anyone here a winning poker player, and if you are, how did you become good?
