Re: Holdem is easy.
I'm sorry to hear that you suck at poker.
It's unfortunate that so many people are too stupid to learn how to play well. [ QUOTE ] cost me 3 hours of "work" PLUS my entire initial bankroll. [/ QUOTE ] you had your whole bankroll on the table at once? golly.

[/ QUOTE ] By bankroll I meant Buy-In. $120 buy in, brought it up to $300 in three hours slowly without delivering a single bad beat and lost it all on that one hand. Oh and I suck at Poker for going all-in on a rags flop with an overpair? Whatever. I read the bluff and I read correctly.

Re: Holdem is easy.
[ QUOTE ]
I don't know how you can make that much online no matter how you play. I have played 2-4 NL and even had long sessions making $20/30/40 an hour but then I am SET-UP: Delt KK, pushed all in on a flop of rags and lost to my opponent hitting a set of 5's on the river (the flop had 2 overcards against his 5's), that cost me 3 hours of "work" PLUS my entire initial bankroll. Then I am delt AJ and flop comes something like AQ5, my opponent goes all in and hits a 6 on the river (he had 65o!). There goes another 2 hours of work. Then after going from $120 to $400, AK and the flop is AKx, my opponent calls all my bets down to the river with his JT w/o a flush draw and hits a Q on the river. Sorry if this sounds like a bad beat story but online Poker is realy luck. I'll admit I had my share as well. This one time I stayed about even for 4 hours, then had A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], limped in, calls a re-raise preflop on a "feeling" and flop comes K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], both my opponents respectively had KK and QQ and I did not have to make a single raise until the river before taking down two big stacks. In real life I know players I won't beat no matter what and some players (degenerates) that I will beat no matter what and usually only have to convince them to play me HU for as much as possible.
