As the poker boom subsides a bit and the US ban on internet poker takes effect, many many players who were either running better than long term expectation or who were marginal winners against softer opposition are now losers. It's been pointed out before that players who start out running good are more likely to go pro -- even if they are ultimately only marginal winners or losers. It may well be that you are not a winning player, or only marginally a winner, either because games have changed or because you were running good before.

This may be the case. Although poker is an interesting game, I play it only for the money. If I knew it was impossible for me to ever make more than, say $8/hour, I would obviously quite and never play again, because I could make much more money in other ways. I believe/hope that if I put down enough time and thought into the game I will be able to made decent money.

Does anyone know how much the online poker traffic has decreased since the peak? Must be some nice diagram someplace.

I also play at Crypto and have gone exactly through the same thing. You just need to keep playing, it will come a moment where you will be making money as easy as you lose it now.

Of course you need to make a good game selection there are a LOT of games from the lower levels who are very dry.

Also, unless you have a very effective LAG style I.m afraid your winrate is never going to be very high, so you should get used to the breakeven periods. Although with the good bonus at Crypto plus good RB shouldn.t be that bad.

dardo.

Thanks for giving me some hope [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. The games are very dry, so I'm just gonna clear a bonus and then I'm out of there. Maybe I'll play a little now and then, but I'd rather play at a softer site.

What I find problematic with playing a LAG style is when there's 3 or 4 tight players at the table, and 1 or 2 callingstations. It's hard to play aggressively against the tight players, because the callingstations calls so often so cbetting loses value. I suppose I should just wait for a decent hand and let the callinstations pay me.

I find jacking off really helps me when I'm getting stressed
