Re: i think bad flops are the most painful
[ QUOTE ]
I've been playing live for 2 years and just started playing online a few weeks ago. I just finished a second straight brutal day. I've playing 1/2 Limit on Absolute, where the tables seem to be extremely tight. Probably average fewer than 3 seeing the flop.
Anyway, I play a very tight, aggressive style and follow the starting hands for tight games as illustrated in SSHE. I'm getting killed. (Emphasis added.)

Well, the only reasons to play at Absolute are:
1. Bonuses
2. To learn to play at a higher limit without having to actually move up and risk more money in a tougher game.
3. Loyalty because they really seem to have good customer service (and did I mention the great reload bonuses?)
Actually, I've played a bit of $1/2 limit and found it as you said, full of rocks. You do better to play a bit loose, raising preflop occasionally with marginal hands trying to take down the blinds. Otherwise you'll get blinded out since you make so little on your monster hands.
Once you clear all your bonuses, move to Party or Pacific.
