Re: \"All In\" the Lyle Berman auto-bio.

I agree with tippy. I found it somewhat interesting, and there were a few good stories. I didn't learn much about the big game. There is no instructional material. His take on business is...

Re: Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcom Gladwell

I read the book. The information about immediate reaction is excellent. This is probably the reason that good players watch others reactions to the flop before they look at the flop. They are...

Re: How many of you screwed up like I did?

grim,

You started in the right place for someone not looking for a bonus to start. Stars doesn't offer sign-up bonsuses. Only reloads. Look at the material here, and in the stickys here and in...

Re: Need review for \"Beyond Tells\" by James A. McKenna

I made it through the whole book, but agree with "Robertie" (is that Bill Robertie?) Boring and not well written. It has a few expansions on Caro's tells that are of some interest. Oddly enough it...

Re: Moving..

I moved recently and changed my address with Party, and Neteller. Neither one would accept an address change without an area code which matched the address. I didn't change my area code on my cell...

Re: Paradise granny bonus

I cleared it (but fairly slowly) as well as a reload bonus at 25-50. I liked the games better than the 50-$1 I played, because I was making more money on the games than I was on the bonus. I...

Re: Still in Paradise Million

Re: Getting Grounded in Philosophy - Where Should I Start?

If you want to give yourself a philosophy course similar to what you would get freshman year in college I'd recommend two books.

Re: Square the table?

People have a tendency to spread out at the table. Squaring the table means for everyone to sit it their proper position so that everyone has room.

Re: playing the paradisepoker bonus clear

If you've only read the Jones book I think you should play 25c-50c on Paradise. You can clear the bonus slowly as has been pointed out. Once you get comfortable you can two-table. The games are...

Re: argh!! should I or shouldn\'t I? bonus whoring is tempting me...

After reading your responses to my questions I concur with the other posters. You haven't played successfully on Stars at the limit you propose to play at Party. And you don't have the bankroll.

It depends. (Sorry to use the classic line, but it really always depends.) What limits are you playing on Stars? How long are you playing to make the amount you are making? How many tables are...

Re: Bonus whore 2-4 limit,or rake too high??

If you can play well enough for the limit you can beat the rake--win money above the bonus--and collect the bonus. People are even doing it at 25c-50c on Paradise, and 50c-$1 on Party. Some people...

Re: Card Protectors -- No content

I use a heavy money clip I have. It is in the shape of a horseshoe. It works well as a chip protector, and has the additional bonus of making people think I'm superstitious. Some people tell me I...

Re: Paradise software- worst ever?

Bret,

I agree. The showdowns are torture. And I have a fast computer.

I like it better than Party though, because I win more on Paradise.

Re: Party Poker Freeze

Re: Why preorder?

The incentive is that you get it before anyone else. You can gloat about that and post comments in the Books/Publications forum.

The positive thing about ordering from Conjelco is that you...

Re: Paradise Bonus Question

Related question. I'm not finished clearing the Granny Bonus. I know it doesn't expire. But I have the money to do the new bonus. Can I do it and clear both?

TIA

Re: Winner\'s Guide to Omaha Poker by Ken Warren

Prodigy,

Since you are new to O-8 reading chapters 4, 5 & 6 on reading your hand would be a good exercise while you wait for the other books. Skip the rest.
