I have been playing on Paradise since the third day it opened. Comparing the old days, the game is getting very tough. If you can beat $10-20 consistantly on Paradise, you can beat any stud games in any casino.


To learn the game, you not only need read books, you also need buy the software to calculate the odds. You should have good habit at least two months that calculates the odds for any poker hands you and your opponents are dealt. That is because to overcome the problem of tilting, you need completely understand the game mathmatically.


Many excellent players disappeared from Paradise in last three year because they did not realize that a bad session could last very very long so they lost patence and got tilt.


It is very difficult to beat 10-20 full table on Paradise. Most of us are even game. Seems Paradise is the only winner on full table. To survive on Paradise, you must be very good at short hand and heads up game. No books teach you how to play short hand and heads up, you must learn it by yourself.


The final words: watch the better players play, learn from them, then take the challenge and beat them.


Good luck.
