Beware of the donks at fulltilt. Even at the $10/$5 blind level the donks are abundant.Quote:

Never played at bodog, but you're right there's a lot of donks on full tilt. The more donks the better IMO, if people wanna take bad bets against me great, ok so they'll suck out and win some and when you hit a streak of them it hurts but over time the blips will work themselves out and in the long run i know i make a plenty of easy money from them ;)Quote:

He had QJ.... donk sucked out big time whenhe should've folded preflop or at least on the flop. sigh.. those are the hands that are aggrevating.
Yeah those ones hurt, like you say he made two bad calls but i'd happily shov all my chips in time and time again against runner runner and/or 4 outs on the river.
Thought you was gonna say he had pocket 3's and flopped a boat, now that would of been sick :cursing:
later :rastasmoke:
...scooby dooby doo
yeah i play a lot of poker.
i play on absolute
but i hear poker stars has a freeroll everyday where top 5 qualify for daily 80k freeroll. so i think ima register for that one tmrow. should be at about 1
yeah its an awesome game tho, if you play your hands right and use your brain you can really earn some cards and confidence...which come together
theres a freeroll on absolute in an hour if anyone wants to get in on that too
Stay Away I know it will be hard the first few days but you will loose your shirt overtime.. I know plenty of people that started playing the same way you have. Before you know it they are playing the SLOTS and the other crazy rigged games and DOWN a SHIT LOAD of $$$$... That is just my opinion take it for what it is worth... If you are going to Play GOOD LUCK HOPE YOU WIN MILLIONS.....
The secret is never to bet more than you can afford to lose.
I try to play smart and I have more than doubled my original deposit, I only play small stake games online , I save the big stake games for the clubs and casinos where you can more easily judge the body language of players.
Poker specifically Texas Hold'em, unlike many other games, is a game that requires a serious number of skill. It's more skill, problem solving, math and psychology/cognitive behavior observation than it is just plain gambling.Quote:

As a general rule of thumb I never use more than 10% of what my total bankroll on a poker site is. ie: if I have $1k on my account, I'll never play with more than $100 per day.
I made a signifigant amount of money last year... probably equivelant to an entry level position (25k-35k) last year. I started on full tilt with $100 :thumbsup:. I play medium/large stakes currently.
Sometimes just to kill time I'll play small stakes.. like .25/.50 or 1/2 blinds.

Good poker forum, or was. I haven't visited much.
I love playing live poker, I don't really care for online poker.
