what happened to not posting

[/ QUOTE ]


i checked back on the site just out of interest and i saw that little mail thing flashing so i checked my private messages. i had over 50 messages all along the lines of 'please dont leave, i need to read your poker advice - you give the best poker advice on the forum'....etc etc etc.

so i had a sleepless night feeling so guilty about ruining so many peoples' novembers that i decided to post again.

i just played a saw flop: 30%, preflop raise 24%, showdowns won 45%. but.....BB/100 21.82 - woot. okay, only 452 hands, but i am happy; $394 profit.

key hands were:

anyway, in case anyone is wondering about how party is - its horrific (in a - way too many rocks sense for a satuday night).

i was just playing 1-2nl and it was a struggle to find a table with a decent fish. so many players were 25/12 to 20/8s all solid players. im probably going to move to stars, just a pain you can only deposit $600 per 24 hour period. sucks!

[Gary Stevenson]

lol@ the hands. you can email stars and increase your limit to 10k/day. hope to see you at 5-10 soon JK

How many times does "EMAIL SUPPORT TO UP YOUR DEPOSIT LIMITS" have to be posted.

Nice numbers for october. I play 1/2 and 2/4 NL 6 person max on stars. Do you play one table at a time or many? What do you recommend? How many hours you logging a week to get those numbers of hands? Any other advice for someone just beginning to play seriously... thanks

[good2cu]

I'm pretty sure I'm the best player at 2/4 on any site. No one else seems close. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
