Yes I love playing poker. Self taught when the Travel channel started the WPT 5 years ago. Truly a magnificent game. I used to play heavily at party poker until the gestapo made it illegal for US residents to gamble online. Since then I have tried other poker sites but cannot get comfortable with any interface other than party.
I now play exclusively with my 5 yo aspie son at home. It is unbelievable how lucky he is so as soon as he is 21 I will take him down to Vegas to win the world series....or maybe downunder to win the aussie millions when he is 18. |

Yep Texas Holdem all the way baby! I play online and have just started learning how to play tournament games mostly sit and go's. Played cash games before but mistakes were getting costly. I play only low stakes $2 and $5 dollar games.

| I was a professional SHLHE player for 2 years. I only played $10/$20. I haven't played in some time now, the UIGEA really hurt my EV and I found it better to get a job. |

Oh a professional, very interesting, but can you tell me what all the abbreviations are?

SHLHE = Short Handed Limit Hold Em. Limit is the form of betting (You don't get to choose how big your bets are, and no "all-in" bets.) Short Handed means games with 6 or fewer players.
UIGEA is the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, a law passed in the United States in 2006.
EV is Expected Value, or my rate of earn. |

Ok that's interesting. Depressing about the law change. It's still ok here in the UK. I play no limit 10 player hold 'em, mostly single table.

Yeah, I've had a job for almost a year and a half now. It kinda sucks. I really had no idea how good I had it, lol. :O
If I went back to playing $10/$20, I'd like to have $32,000 in the bank. 1000 BB bankroll + 6 months living expenses. Guess I better start saving.
Man, I hope the UIGEA gets repealed. The games were so much tougher after it passed. |

He he yeah I could see how working in a normal job must suck in comparison. If I were good enough I love to be able to play for a living, maybe one day. Thing is the more I learn about the game the more I realise how good the good players really are!

if you were running shlhe, you were already at the best +EV you can run....those tables mostly draw schmucks and amateurs who watch too much espn2.
edit: and the losers who watched rounders too much.
/never plays the brunson.
//or pocket rockets for that matter (i prefer to run open-ended)
re-edit: i meant the 10-2 brunson...though i never trust queens in my hand. |
