Congrats on your profit in the larger game, but I have a word of advice for your future play, no matter if it's live or online. Always buy into the game for at least 20 times the big bet, or don't buy in. I've done it both ways in the past, and can tell you from experience, there are many mathematical and psychological reasons for this. With your win, you shouldn't have any problems doing that. Also, there is no doubt in my mind that the caliber of play is much higher online compared to live. Unfortunately, I can only get to a live game once a week, so I play online each evening and weekends. Because of this, I have become a much better player, going from weak-tight to tight-aggressive! As far as Mr. Duke's unkind words, simply disreguard them. It's so sad to see that loser continually show up on this forum with his hard headed negativity. Good Luck!
