Default Re: Played internet poker for the first time today!

Ok here's the shocker, really GREAT poker players STILL have nights where they lose money, in fact, sometimes they still lose big.

Poker, hold em specifically, has a high degree of variance, and only with ALOT of good play and a sufficient bankroll can a player actually make a profit.

Make sure you read or have read all the appropriate required poker reading, decide what you want to play (is it NL SNG's? NL bigger tournies? NL cash? Limit cash?) because EVERY SINGLE variety I listed has a completely different style/feel/techniques you must use to beat it.

Yep, thats why everytime I take a hit I try to take a few days off so that I don't take another hit and wind up going on tilt. It's just internet poker is so much different than live games, I definately need to do some research [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
