On Golden Pond, but no catch
Absolute Poker, .10/.20 LHE, 6-Max
At a table full of fish last night, but made only a small profit. They played every hand, called every bet all the way to the showdown. Sounds like a dream,...

Re: Near the end of my brief Online career -Whine
I have noticed the Europeans, and Asians but haven't yet run into the maniacs you describe. I found that at the .10/.20 tables the players are a lot more loose/passive, so you can collect on your...

Re: Near the end of my brief Online career -Whine

I have a similar question about limping. I'm a live limit player who has been playing 1/2 NL for the last few months. I'd rather play limit but for various reasons have no choice. Anyway, I've done...

Re: Deposits by New Yorkers
I think you missed my point. Banks in New York won't allow payments to gambling sites. I don't think Neteller accepts money orders and the banks won't issue a cashiers check to Neteller etc.
