Fantastic Ad for Internet Poker

Ah well my suspicions are wrong then never played ring games on there just the odd tournie on an evening.

$300k seems a lot though even the likes of David Ross are not making as much as that at the 15/30 tables from his past postings.

"John O’Reilly, of Ladbrokes E-Gaming, said: “We hope Lee-Anne junior doesn’t become a poker whizkid.”"

Exactly what caught my eyes too. This is so stupid a comment that it made me think the quote was fabricated by the writer.

Personally I'm gutted that the Page 3 'Comment of The Day' wasn't on this subject. I love those quotes!

Ladbrokes has both 15/30 and 25/50 NL as well 100/200 and 200/400.

Party's highest NL tables are with a ridicolous max buy-in of $200 and even with blinds that are too high. Laddie has very decent action at NL1000 and even regular action at NL5000. Party is no competitor to Laddies regarding NL.

I don't know if this mama plays NL but I suspect she does

[ComedyLimp]

If she is winning £4,500 a week playing 5 hours a day of, say, 15/30 NL shouldn't she have a biggest single day win of rather more than £7,500? Doesn't that imply that she is not only a very big winner but a big winner with relatively little variance?

She said "Who needs a proper job when I can make what most people earn in a month in a couple of hours?"

Her win rate appears to be £128 an hour (assuming a 7 day week) so that's not actually true unless she is talking about a particularly badly exploited class of illegal immigrant.

And if you can win £128 an hour why on earth would you only play 5 hours a day?

BTW It's interesting to note that WSOP winner James Vogl is doing exactly the opposite of the girl in this story and packing in his poker playing to take a job in investment banking, saying:

Vogl says [...] he's already preparing to retire from the professional poker circuit. In September he's due to start a job in the City, trading equities - a job not without its own rich rewards.

"I want a more balanced life. Gambling is a lot of late nights and travel. It's also quite volatile. I won a lot this year but I could easily go a whole year without winning."

Which sounds much more like my personal experience of Poker.
