I hope it's not Gavin......... he knocked me out of the $2500 event at fallsview. It was like taking candy from a baby. I have learned that I am a little better in a tourny than a cash game. When I play cash games I have a hard time folding hands like trips into a flush or straight board. I am always thinking the other guy is bluffing when 90% of the time they have a hand.
I think the biggest difference between an amature and a pro is the ability to fold a good hand.

It costs 1800 bucks. That's no typo. It's the most expensive poker book and it's only 81 pages.
It's deals with putting your opponents on a range of hands and taking the mathematically correct move.
Yes, I have read it. A retarded friend of mine actually payed for the download. It was a complete waste of money in my opinion. Lots of common sense stuff if you are already playing "thinking poker".
i turned 100 into 1000 and made a run at the wsop last year. played in a 500 and a couple 200 buyin satellites and blew my bankroll. then rebought for 100 or 200 and wanted to get it back quickly and thats never a good idea when playing. needless to say, i lost that too and haven't played since. have to regain composure and patience. prefer the live game much better.
BR management is huge if you want to stay of the rails.

Tiffany, have you played at Borgata ?? I think I am going to play in the WPT event there in Sept. Usually they get about 1000 players and it's a $3500 event.
Probably true...but because so many people call versus folding. If everyone calls you would could have a "bad beat" almost every hand. Play money poker is like that...or closer to that than anything else.
In real money I think people generally just play better.
First off Funny money poker is not poker and you only learn rules and basics. There has to be something at stake even if it pennies. So once you know basics to improve you got put something in.
In my personal experience I would have to agree with you on bad beats. I have been pounded this yr online with bb. Get’s worst every yr as the number of players playing increases
Statistically with the number of hands being played online at anyone time compared to any poker room it is not the numbers are only slightly higher online 20% on avg.
Now this makes sense because face to face there a whole other component to the game.
Looking at a player’s body language eyes even the way they play and stack their chips.
This as you most know is the tell.
Some players like myself can play cool never sweat etc. Others just can not. Most swear they do not have a tell. Every player does it a matter of recognizing it and mastering it.
Online you can multi table. I play a min of 2 sometimes as high as 8 tables at a time. So you will tend to chase more. Why. On one two tables I made money in hand so gamble a lil more on another.
In search feature on sites you can search players on your table to see if they are Multi tabling
http://www.officialpokerrankings.com
gives you edge on player info.
Unless you are a reg at any given poker room you will not know who the rounders are.
Now do not let the OPR earnings and rank fool you. Any pro I ever talked with been coached by or run with have same system. You grind cash play ring games and sit go to get your tourney fees.
See there are systems to make $$ online with out cheating it takes hrs a day.
like full time job hrs.
I will give newbies two basic but most important lessons to NL or PL poker. FL does not apply.
Online or at the table.
Pre flop play:
First no matter what you have to understand the power of position.
Second always no matter what if it is worth a call then it has to be worth a raise. Note position is very important with this style of play. It always 3 times the big blind no matter what AA A/K JJ K/2 suited if ya stealing lol it 3 times 3.5 times the BB . You disguise your hand all the time this
way.
You have more options once the flop comes.

Tiffany_69 When I clicked on your homepage I got malware and virus warnings from your site. I bailed and don't know much more. Might check it out.
Tiff..are you saying that online games have about 20 percent more hands being played through to the end versus face to face? If so does that include money online games not just play money.
I was talking about play money games...and not just who is left at the end of the hand but the whole play of the hand, so many calls preflop, on the flop, turn...and by the time the final betting comes the numbers are down alright...perhaps to 20% more than normal, but you have people betting on all their catches. Whereas in real poker these hands would have long since folded out (assuming better betting on the initial better hands as well)
Heh...Here's me : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Chorny & http://www.bluffmagazine.com/players...er-profile.asp
I'm pretty good at this poker thing

On Poker Stars you can play more than 8 tables at a time. Boku87, plays 50 SNGs at a time. He challenged himself, to turn $5 into 100 K in a year, he managed to accomplished his goal in 10 months.
Earlier, he took bets at 3 to 1, that he could make 10K, starting with $100 in 15 days. He won that bet.
In the late stages of tournaments and SNGs, as your stack to blinds ratio decreases, you'll raise with less 3XBB in order to steal the blinds or go all in for fold equity.
ya i wonder if he has a bot 50 tables is nutz could never handle more then 8.
Tourney play is dif then cash play. Especially around bubble time.

Congrats to Gavin. He finally won a WSOP bracelet. He beat out 500 others and won the 2500 Mixed Holdem Event (Event #44).
