Re: ** Lounge Poker Talk **
 

I enjoy reading/discussing strategy moreso than playing. I do ok with donkaments, and my recent venture into 50NL cash would be breakeven(6k hands) except I crank some tunes and get in a drinking mood and wake up the next day to search HH to see where my $$ went.

Many a morning I come to find I played some 30/60 LHE or $100 SNGs on a $500 roll. So, yeah I'm that guy.

Although live I've been doing well at a local 2/5NL game...JUICY!!

Dom,

Good to see you got rid of your *. They were unsightly.

In this thread from a couple of months ago I was astounded by how few hours those deriving income from poker actually play. In fact since they set their schedule they typically slept in until late morning, didn't start playing until night, and were up until damn near dawn. From memory, they really only acknowledged playing ~4 hours/day.

I was also surprised at those saying the games were softer at night. Well it's always night somewhere and people play online there too. But I guess when it's night in the US is when the money is to be made. Whatever.

I probably play on average 6 hours a day. Over the last month I've averaged just over +3buy-ins a day. It's not a lot, but it beats working.

I don't play anymore. No limit hold'em has killed all the games I actually enjoy, which are limit hold'em, stud, razz, and omaha 8.

I hope when the next recession hits it kills no limit again.

There's plenty of razz, O8 and 6max LH at low-mid limits online. I don't see any reason to quit altogether just because NL is much more popular right now.

On a related note, do you think if we played poker with gold coins instead of poker chips would that prevent a recession?

Easiest $10 of my life.

I hold AQ in a SNG.

I raise, my opponent re-raises all in with K6 (but it was soooted!)

Thanks buddy.
