It never fails to surprise me when I see some of the card combos people are prepared to play online, especially when you realise it's all for real money. I just wonder how some of these droolers actually manage to dress themselves in the morning, never mind them being able to figure out the process of how to deposit money on a poker site. Some seem positively determined to just give their money to you, and it makes me wonder if they wouldn't get a little more satisfaction by donating this cash to some kind of charity or worthwhile cause, even going up to a random person in the street and handing them $100 would get a startled and happy reaction from them, which is surely superior to donating within the faceless environment of an online poker room.
As an example I illustrate with this hand. The worrying thing is, this type of thing isn't that unusual.

hi, just found your blog and been reading all the post entries. some great help m8. one comment that made me think was
ReplyDelete'you only really know how good you are over 100k of hands I think, but who wants to spend 100k of hands at 10nl if they are winning consistently'
well I play 10nl and over about 50k hands im beating it for 8ptbb/100. I only 2-4 table and average around 4-6k hands a month.
Ive taken shots at 25nl and ran bad, tilted alittle. so moved back to 10nl. Thing is I have like 130 buyins for 10nl (lol) but still dont feel comfortable at 25nl. It would be great if you get any spare time to have a chat on msn about where I go from here. maybe I can run my game over you to see if I have any leaks that need sorting for 25nl.
thanks
rich.
