You're supposed to lose those fights.

[Fingerswinger]

i often hear / read how much tougher it is to make money at $5/$10 as opposed to $2/$4 or $3/$6.

i would love to hear some opinions from winning 1k regs (or higher).
or maybe a trip report from moving up.
what winrate can you achieve (and sustain)?
what is your edge when there are very few fish (do you have to be a genious)?
is it even still profitable?

[Dazarath]

Lol, so sick. This fish was running hot as hell and then busted it all in like 10 minutes.

I;m trying to assemble some drawers from ikea and the have these retarded [censored] plastic screws. Only there's no slot on the head of the screw to stick a screwdriver in. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Do I just hammer it in or what.

if they're meant to be hammered in, they will not have a "screw-thread" but just "rings" (if you know what i mean).

lol, all that pain in the ass for 4 bucks?

[SlowHabit]

Hi everyone. I'm SlowHabit and I want to be your coach.

My qualification is that I’ve been playing 10/20 NL for more than a year now. Although I’m nothing special and do not have crazy theories with lots of levels like Mario, I do win. And I win based on simple deductive reasoning. I don’t have many famous poker friends online so they can’t vouch for me. But hopefully, I’ve played against some of you tilt-free so my reputation won’t be too bad.

What I will teach (aka what I think is important):

1. Image – what are others’ perception of you and how you can take advantage of it.
2. How to counter light 3bets and what are your plans for future hands.
3. Game selection/bankroll is a must.
4. How to short-stack [just kidding =].
5. Position position position.
6. The myth about VPIP/ pfr
7. The truth about TAG and its cousin LAG.

I've asked around (ok, I've asked 3 people) and starting at $200/hr seems fair. However, as a new coach, I'm willing to negotiate. PM for details.

PS. I can offer some simple finance advices if you would like.
