I just started playing online (I've logged more than 150 hours of bricks & mortar play this year alone, so I do play avidly). While I doubt online play will ever replace the experience of sitting in the cardroom or casino, I do like it a lot.
It seems like it is easier to be disciplined and wait for good hands, as the play is usually faster (so you don't go on tilt for boredom), and if you are playing multiple tables at once, it is much faster. Of course, you have to make decisions pretty fast to keep up.
I signed on for Paradise Poker, and have been playing $1-2, $2-4 & $3-6 (getting my feet wet and learning the differences between online & B&M play). Based on some of the posts on 2+2, I gather that Paradise isn't the best site for making the big money online.
What site(s) do you'all think is the most profitable? I don't have the bankroll to play higher than $3-6 online right now (I play $4-8 & $5-10 in B&M play, but since that's only at one table, smaller roll necessary).
Ideally, I'd like to roll up a big stake playing 2 tables at $2-4 and move up in 3-4 weeks. I'm able to play online about 15 hours per week.
Suggestions welcome - reading you'all's posts has inspired me (davidross's in particular), so thanks. Because of 2+2, I bought and have read and re-read and re-read WLLH, a book I'd purposefully (and mistakenly) overlooked. It's made a huge difference in my game, and I'm doing a lot of regular winning at $4-8 & $5-10 in my cardroom and in Atlantic City.
