You are right. Much of what I see in B&M (not including California) is the same as it has been for a few years - but the games on line are tough if you are used to only casino play. I had a very tough first month adjusting to the online style, and have moved cautiously from .50/$1 to $3/6. This week I took my first full-time shot at $5/$10 and it has been rough for me. The games I was in today were just like the micro-limits, some hands were seven-to-the-flop after I raised with AK, and you can be sure I never dragged one of those pots.

I'm not saying the games are not great, just hard to adjust to. Althogh these players are exactly what I want in a game, I am taking a beating, because I have yet to have any good hands stand up and find myself down 70 units for the week. Not a huge amount, but I have never had a $700 loss in the past 8 months, so it still hurts.

If you have the bankroll, the money is there to be made.

Just checked my Pokertracker stats after my crying about getting beat. In the last two days I played just over 10 hours, 3-4 tables, and held AA just one time, winning the blinds; held KK three times, winning $17. Might have some major changes to my numbers if I was a little closer to average for these hands. I held JJ 7 times, losing $205. Wow, I can't wait to play tomorrow, I'll probably be run over by good cards [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
