It's been about a year- post UIGEA success?

[Christophers]

I didn't start playing until just before the UIGEA passed, but I'm winning mad amounts now and find the games very beatable. I also think Party and FTP are just as soft as each other (and I've made around half my profits on each site).

edit: Actually, at this point in time I'd say the FTP games are softer than Party, at least at 25/50.

All I'm gonna say is that Grandiose used to be a nosebleed stakes big winner on Prima.

L.O.L.

I see him every week or so 1 tabling 3/6 or 5/10 on FTP, and not alway reloading if he goes under a full buy in.

always gives me a good laugh because I remember how he acted when he had a little spat w/ greenplastic...and had said how great he was, he'd never be broke, etc.


I wasn't doing well for a while(huge downswing as games started to get worse last december), since late may/early june been doing fine and playing well.

I'm just wondering and fairly curious, I frequently don't know where everyone is; some people "brag" or "cry" about -20k days and still win 30-50k a month, and others brag about winning 15k in a session and are just breaking even.

i obviously know? i'm just saying i think there are people on this board that might get the wrong idea from what other people on this board write and post just about general results

[tagtastic]

The last 12 months have been by far the best calendar year I've ever had, but honestly I didn't start getting serious about the game until about June 2006.

Before that I messed around and made money on Party small stakes, but I wasn't at all good at the game.

Without the UIGEA there's a good chance I would have made more money in the last 12 months, but no chance I'd be anywhere near as good as I am now after a year in the trenches.

People should more apt to measure poker success by way of someone's poker theory, how they win/lose pots/make reads/tilt frequencies (table temperament), ability to improve their game, then staring glazily at someone's graphs.

I can say with full confidence that even over a large sample the best player at a particular game isn't the one with the most money won.

I'm sure he's breakeven.

Amazing.

I can't believe it's been almost a year either...I remember like almost crying on that sad sad Friday.

Never gets old. I recently went like 25k hands break-even at 1/2 and I had this image saved on my PC for a morale booster every time I felt a bit low.
