Hi all,
I decided to have another go at online poker, I signed up a few times on pkr, deposited 50 $ and lost it all. Last time I won 50 $ and then I lost it al again
Anyway I learned valuable lessons doing this, for one thing: If you can't win a pot don't bluff with an all-in. I lost a whole lot of money doing this.
Now I signed up on another site, I got a free bet code on bwin for 10 euros (= 15 $), and I went to play 0.05-0.10 $ no limit.
I bought in for 2 $ when the maximum was 10 $ and I quit every time I was twice the money ahead. On the first day I won 20 $, making my money 35 $, the second day i went to higher stakes (0.10-0.20) and won untill I had 60 $, the third day I went even higher and played 0.25-0.50 and 0.50-1.00.
Anyway I had 115 $ yesterday, then i did a sports bet on bryan/stosur and lost it all

Now what I did win was the following:
I waited untill I had KK AA QQ or JJ, then when somebody raised pre-flop, I went all-in and about 80 % of the times I got called I won.

I wanted to know, since I won 100 $ in total beginning with 15 $, is this a good strategy?
I think I play way to tight, and people bluff me off pots a whole lot of times.

So um, anyway I want some feedback :d
1. Is this a good way to play online poker?

2. What can I do about people taking a stab at the pot when they are on the dealer button?
I once went all-in when this happend. the board was 2 5 10 and I had KQ, he had AK and called, and won.
Was this a bad play from me or from the other player?
3. If it's 0.25-0.50 I buy in for 10 $, the maximum is 50 $, is this smart or should I buy in for more?

I'd be very gratefull for any tips!

thanks!

Don't bluff so much on micro stakes tables... it rarely works... play tight, and read the link above.... you're blind levels are way to high

other than that your biggest error in poker seems to be....................... sports betting
