View Full Version : paradise stud

I started playing poker almost one year ago.

Well at first i had no clue and yes, I was losing.

I understood that there is much more to this game then pure luck. I started reading books forums, etc. Soon I discovered that i could beat microlimits for many big bets per hour. Slowly I was moving up. From 1 and 2 to 2and 4 to 4and 8. Then I tried 10 20 but I found the game to be to tough just yet, so I went back to 4and 8. But I was back to higher limits in no time and stronger than ever. Today I am one of the best stud players on paradise along with river guy mr sharx td pro and stupid cow. I can easily beat 40 80 game at mirage and so called vegas pros. I will play in 7 card stud events at the world series of poker and I expect to do well against the toughest opposition in the world. Honestly I can tell you that 10 20 game at paradise is the toughest game out there, much tougher than 20 40 live and close to 40 80. So, if You can not beat the games on paradise it is not because the site is a scam but because your game is simply too weak for the limits that you are playing. Yes, I have experience huge swings. I had losing streaks of more than 100 bets in just few hours but that is expected. But from my own experience of more than few thousand hours spent on paradise I am 100 % positive that paradise poker is honest. Not only that, they are by far the best poker site out there. They always pay on time, have great support, the biggest variety of games, the most players and the list goes on and on. I have tried other sites but they are simply not worth it. So the next time You make the judgement ask yourself one question: Are you really as good as You think?

And if You answer yes then...... just sit next to me at the 10 20 stud game and we will find out the truth

Stu,


I have played a lot of Stud at Paradise, and while I do much better at stud than at holdem, you sure are correct, the games are tough tough tough. So while your description is correct about how good the Paradise Site is, there is one drawback: The players who last are very good. Alas: If only TruePoker would start a Stud game.


You should post your message to the Internet Poker forum so the sad people who think it is fixed could read it.

...no offense but to be a very good player probably one year of poker experience is not sufficient. However I have to admit that Paradise stud games are a very good training from a quick improving point of view. But they are not so worth to grow up a player from novice to expert (like you claims to be since you are almost sure to beat the WSOP opponence /images/smile.gif).


About paradise stud players you forgot to mention two of the best players who regularly play paradise stud games since his appearance. At opposite, not all your names cited in your post are very good players (good but not experts).


About Paradise honesty, integrity, level of support, etc, I believe that all regular posters here have NOT a bit of doubt and your good post confirms that.

I have played so much 10 20 that i know which players are the best and i can easily see it by the amount of money that those people make. Well, You if do not think that i am an expert then how will you explain the fact that every month I make around 10 k playing those games. As far as WSOP goes then I know that I am ready although tournament poker is little bit different and you need a lot of luck to succeed. I just played world poker open satelites for 7 card stud and I won 3 of them and I was second 3 times in 12 tries.( By the way Lin sherman beat me in one of those when i had pocket aces and she hit third ten as we were both all in when the blinds were huge). Also i was challenging people to side money bets which were as high as 500 dollars for single satelite and I made over 1 k that day from side bets alone. I have played with the best and honestly I feel like some of us online players are much better than those big names. (river guy is the best stud player in the world imho). So like I said I like my chances as good as anyone else's even though it is going to be only my 7 card stud tourney

What's your nickname at paradise? Just a curiosity so I'll watch at your play trying to raise my (poor) skills

If you are saying that you earn 120000 per year at 10-20 then you should have no problem winning multiple tournaments in the WSOP.

Get a life, stu. Why are you spreading news of how great you are on all these forums?

02-22-2002, 12:00 PM
Large ego. Very insecure. Probably can't play very well live. Bunch of tells, etc. Internet player for a year. Big deal. Will get torn up soon.

So Stu, What do you REALLY think of your card playing ability?

Are you serious Big Stu? You must be a retard. I have read your postings and I see you like to make side bets. I have a side bet for you, if you are interested. I will bet you 100 dollars. All you have to do is email me your last 120 days history from Paradise Poker which should show all your cash outs. Paradise Poker has them archived, but they will send them on request. If you have broke over 8 k a month, you will win 100 dollars. I will transfer the money to your account at your heads up game at the 8/16 table on PP. I will also cut and paste the results on this site. If interested in this bet, state so in another posting and I will leave an email address for Paradise Poker to send the archived data.

On a second note, Bigstu, when was the last time you played in a casino??? The games are MUCH MUCH better online than at the casino. I have never seen such a fool in my life.

Hello,Stu,

My early impression about Internet poker is that it's much tougher to bea than the the "live" casino players.

There are probably a higher % of players studying the game on the Internet than players who play in the "live" casino games.

Many players who play "live" poker have not even cracked a book on poker.

Hello,Pat,

It's very conceivable that a very good player--and I'm not talking about an expert-- who plays both Internet and "live" poker can earn about 10k per month playing a mixture of 10-20 thru 40-80.

His expectation over the long run is 1 1/2 BB/hr.

At the mixture games of 10-20 to 40-80,a good player's average hourly rate will be about 42/hr (about 1BB) and a very good player's rate will be about 63/Hr.(about 1 1/2 BB/Hr.).

This translates into earnings of about 10k/Mo. for the very good player if one plays 40 Hrs/wk.

If Stu has played at least 4ooo hrs. in these 10-20 to 40-80 games and have consistently been a winner,I see no reason to NOT believe he is earning about 10K per month!

I'd say that a $4/8 online game players much tougher than $15/30 live. In my experience online $4/8 is tougher than $40/80 live games here, but we have pretty easy live games compared to vegas.
