online poker is a different beast

I think the remedy is too quit live poker and just play online. Its hard becuase the games are so much better live, but imo that makes it that much more frustrating to run bad in.

i think you're onto something here. maybe you should write a book. you can call it "PLAY IN BAD GAMES BECAUSE RUNNING BAD IN GOOD GAMES SUCKS".

Two gems I had recently (live games in SoCal):

1. I raise UTG+1 and get called by the blinds. (My hand isn't particularly important to the story.)

Flop: 5s4s2s

SB bets, BB calls, I raise, SB calls, BB calls.

Turn: 9d

Check, check, bet, call, call.

River: As

SB bets, BB mucks 44 face up. I fold, SB shows Ah3s.

2. Folded to me OTB, I raise with QQ. Both blinds call.

Flop: Tc4h4d

Check, check, I bet, BB calls.

Turn: 5c

Check, bet, call.

River: 2s

BB bets. I am 100% sure he wouldn't play a 4 this way, so I raise. He quickly calls and looks confused as he tables Ac3c for the straight.

While I realize that I truly suck at poker compared to the better players on this board, it comforts me to know that there are others around who will help ensure that I still won't have to work anymore.

Thats simplifying things a bit. I dont think its possible make the same amount of money playing 1 table of 30/60 in MN
as playing 3 tables of 10/20 with fpps(bonuses). It would be different if I lived in Cali and could progress high enough for it to be worth playing live.

If I were to write a book, it would be called "Play in worse sh online games, bc running bad in live fr games for 6 months is worse than waterboarding."

Working sucks. I've been stuck at my day job for 6 days/wk and up to 11 hrs/day. This means 2 trips to Commerce in the past 3 weeks.

Now that writers are on strike, does that you we will see more of you at Commerce for the next 5 months?? [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Luckily, reality writers are not part of the Guild, so I am still working.

I'm writing the questions for a game show, actually, and it's super fun and I can't wait til it airs (on ABC in December) so I can share my genius with 2+2. Also I am not officially a "writer." I am credited as "Game Producer" on this show.

Oh, and what do you mean "we see more of you at Commerce?" Who are you? Do we know each other and you're holding out on me?

you have alot of stalkers PJ, or is it fans because youre famous?
