[ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] There's my problem. I could make good money 8 tabling $3-$6 full ring, then I burned out from doing this 8 hours a day. After I came back to give it another go, I discovered that the 6 maxes had killed all the full ring limit action. And I can't play enough tables of 6-max low limit to make it worth my while because the hands come around too fast, LAG play in the opposition becomes more proper (that's why they moved to 6-max). I'm underrolled for anything higher and don't really see the opportunity to play my way up again. Combine all this with not even knowing how to go about funding an account anymore since the ridiculous internet gambling ban [censored], and I think my poker career is just dead. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] And when I said NL had killed the other games; I meant live. Nobody ever wants to play anything but NLHE where I live, and I hate that game except in tournaments (and even the local tournaments have terrible structures and giant rakes). [ QUOTE ] On a related note, do you think if we played poker with gold coins instead of poker chips would that prevent a recession? [/ QUOTE ] No, but I played in a local $2-$4 game where the chips were all Sacagewea dollars; it was pretty fun. |

Re: ** Lounge Poker Talk **
I play a local cardroom's NLHE tourney one or two Saturday afternoons a month. It's my get out by myself time.
The tourney structure sucks, it plays like a three-table turbo SNG with short stacks to blinds and the blinds escalate quickly. On the other hand, that keeps me from staying gone too long [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

Re: ** Lounge Poker Talk **
Do you browse the forums while you're 7-tabling Dom?
Poker Ace Hud finally updated their software so it works on Stars.. I know I'm losing a little value by not observing all the betting patterns, but I enjoy my time playing poker so much more browsing forums at the same time. Just lost a couple of hundred while typing this. I flop middle set, got raised by a pair and a flush draw, I shove, he calls. Flush hits the turn. Gotta love it. I was almost out of the hole I've dug myself today too. Now -3.25 buy ins. |

Re: ** Lounge Poker Talk **
I've actually been paying the bills the last few months playing poker...but I'm still under -rolled because I have to keep taking money out! I play Full Tilt 50NL (seven-tabling) every day and 1/2NL live about three times a week.

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!! |

Re: ** Lounge Poker Talk **
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. |

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |
