Re: I\'m moving down (LC)
Dropping a level after a huge down swing shows good judgment, many who don't have the discipline to do so will blow their whole roll.
There's no shame in this whatsoever, and most have had to do...

Re: I\'m thinking of quitting my job
I'm near your age, and have been playing online poker for a living for around 1 1/2 years.
It is so not easy. Why is this?
After about 6 months I hit a major wall due to burn out. The monotony...

Re: Bodog Bonus \"Whoring\" Question
No, this won't work. You'll likely be labeled a bonus abuser the first time you do this and longer get bonus money at Bodog ever again.
It's my guess they lowered the bonus to 10%, & started...

I think we all underestimate the luck factor in poker, to some extent anyway.
Perhaps you were running especially hot last year, and things have stabilized a bit.
Also, I've noticed the online...

Re: What happened to Prima?
Last year at this time the NL 100 & NL 200 games on Prima were crazy loose. I doubled up nearly every K/K & A/A hand, and also when I hit a set. (Barring Suckouts)
I've tried Prima a few times...

Re: AA gets in trouble.
Given villains flat call of your flop bet, a turn check is fine here, esp. since he's an uber tighty.
Calling the river is fine, he's either got a monster (8/8 or Quads) or Q/Q or K/K.
I'm with...

Re: AA hands
Hand one:
Raise more preflop. You're letting him in too cheaply here.
That's a very scary board to slow play top set.
Definitely lead out here, unless you've got a real aggressive player who...

Re: I play bad 2/5NL (probably low content)
As would I, but you seem certain the other two players in the pot will fold, how do you know they aren't waiting to do the same thing, & call you're all in with a PP, or A/K or something.

Re: I play bad 2/5NL (probably low content)
I don't like the play.
You have little folding equity with your baby stack against the other two non lag opponents.
This is just a big gamble.

Re: HELP - I keep getting killed with AA
What's with the uber weak, P/F raise? You may as well limp with them if you're going for deception, as a 3X the BB raise will allow all types of hands in with you.
As it was, you want to bet more...
