Default Re: Is there a decent book on Internet Poker?

As you well know (but the op may not) if you multitable and play as many hands as you would in a live game you will get killed (or at the very least have extreme swings).

This is just plain silly.

I love it when people don't even take the time to READ what has been said. I did not say that multitabling increases your variance. I said that if you play on the internet like you play in a B&M you will get killed. If you want to use a statistics term, when I said your swings could increase that would be refering to the "range" not variance.

When I'm at a Casino I probably only get dealt 30-40 hands per hour. My flop percentage is probably 30-35% because if it wasn't I would be falling asleep. If my flop percentage online was 30-35% I would likely be getting killed. When you are getting dealt 70-80 hands per table per hour you can afford to (and must) play tighter. My online flop percentage would be less than 20% and that is 3-4 tabling.

So to be clear . . . it is my belief that if your flop percentage online is consistantly (always) above 35% . . . you will lose. If you multi-table and your flop percentage is consistantly (always) above 35% you will lose a lot more.

Does this work for you now ??
