any of you guys play? I have played a little but get obsessive especially with heads up games. Quick and dirty.

What do you guys like? sng's? cash games? what kind of limits do you play. I was small limit until I donked off playing 50$ heads up.

Some advice for ya...

1. STUDY STUDY STUDY poker and don't play for thrills otherwise you WILL lose money
2. Poker is all about long term profits, neglect how you're doing at the moment.. only statistics will reveal your skill.
3. Don't play above your bankroll.

love to play... I am pretty much a break even player though in the long run. even to reach that level I have had to play countless hands.. it is definitely an art form.

I tend to tilt easily when taking a bad beat, but it is getting better as time goes on... it is just part of the experience.

I mainly play cash games, but will occasionally play heads up. I don't usually fare too well in tournaments.

I used to play blackjack way too much about 10 years ago. Was up a couple thousand at times but never cashed out and eventually lost it all.

So I am wondering how many people actually can say they cash out a winner and just don't let their winnings go down to zero over time.

Be careful...online poker is RIGGED bigtime.
I've played over 1000 sng's, in the past 6 years. They like to keep you playing, so the quicker games move, the more they take on the total rake.
I don't doubt there are a high percentage of poker bots playing for the site, as well.
None of this is regulated by the government, so it's extremely easy to manipulate the profits.
Rigging, is most obvious when you have the chip lead, then get thrown AA, AK, QQ, etc within 10 hands. You hit almost every flop, etc.
Why would they give you money? Much like a ponze scheme, keep the money circulating, to keep you playing, and the rake continuous.

If you look up pokerstars rigged on google, you'll find forum that go into detail on how lopsided the site it. I'm on Full Tilt now, and though there are less bad beats, the rigging is very obvious.

However, through tons of games, I'm a few hundred ahead...that's playing low limit sngs. To put any real money online, you'd have to be very foolish.

I definitely feel this frame of mind after taking a serious beat or two... and I play on full tilt as well. however, have you ever played on pokerstars? for fucks sake, someone is holding pocket aces or kings every 10-15 hands, its insane.

for lack of a real world venue I play online... but I do agree that certain circumstances of hands that come up are a little suspect if you know the odds of those occurrences happening.

Just played on Full Tilt.
I was chip leader.
3 of 5 hands I was in.
Me: JQ Opp: AA, Flop: A K 10...
Me: A5 suited Opp:AK Opp: QQ, I have the nut flush.
I forget the other one.
Point being, I made bad calls, was dominated, somehow had the nuts no matter how poor my shove was.

All the sites are rigged...mark my words. In less than a decade, it will all come out...some fools will say, "I can't believe they would do that?"
Yeah, like Enron executives....never underestimate greed. Even though sites make a bunch, it's never enough for the greedy.

I have had that thought before. When you are up the good hand just keep on coming. If you win one pot the next hand is often a winner. Even if it was crap and you mucked it , it would have nailed the flop. I never really played around based on a rigged game but the idea come to mind many times and I also have played thousands of hands.

I play tournaments only--all the time. My specialty game is Pot Limit Omaha and PLO hilo---I play NLHE due to the obvious quantity of games. I never ever ever play cash games.

QFT

My biggest win was about $15,000 and I didn't take the money and within a week, I was $9000 in the hole. It was a bloodbath. I played my last cash game on Full Tilt and for the year, I was up $2200. That's like making $2.50/hour. I've only played free games since.

agreed
badbeats happen,...move along, accept them and dont bitch about them.
When someone tells me a bad beat story I automatically tell them to shut up before they get 10 words in. No one wants to hear

Not to do exactly that but the "bad beats" that got to me the most is when you have an ace high full house and someone gets a four of a kind on you. Always brought me in to meltdown mode.

Did you even read my post? How is it bitching about bad beats, when I see rigging and I'm chip leader and hit every flop.
Bad beats happen all the time in poker. Catching endless good cards when you're chip leader, doesn't really happen in live play.
If you're up a few hundred dollars and play $5 sngs, how is that griping about a loss?
