rivercrest13
Hi. I’ve been playing low stakes NLHE for a few months mostly on PokerStars and have done OK. Last week I signed up at Empire and have made a shitload. Is it really that easy to make money at Empire? I put in $250 and have almost tripled up in less than five days. Granted, I’ve been getting a lot of good cards, but it seems like every time I get a good hand I get handsomely rewarded. I think I’m getting lucky though because I’ve had few bad beats. And most of them aren’t that bad. Here are some noob hands for you experts to dissect and mock.

LAG, I know, but I feel like I have to win with Jh9h; it’s my favorite. Probably stupid as I could’ve easily run into an overpair.

Bad play? I though I’d test the waters, but quickly folded to strength.
