Hi. I'm a US player looking to get started again after a long absence. Should I try Cake or Lock Poker for the rakeback, or just play Bodog for the crowd?

The partypoker signup bonus, is apparently the easiest to clear. That may be your best option for you at 10NL, help you build a roll for 25NL, then move to FT. It's not unreasonable to clear the...

I don't want tougher competition, that's the point. I think you're reading something wrong.

A high rating means a lot of bad players, a low rating means lots of good players. Absolute has a rating...

Someone else posted a link in another thread http://www.tightpoker.com/ ... the site reviews there seem pretty thorough.

I've been playing on Absolute, and I'm noticing they have by far the...

Where can I find out more about rakeback options? The link the forum puts on the word "rakeback" doesn't mention anything about FullTilt so I'm assuming it doesn't cover a lot of options.

Yay! I love happy stories.

I was thinking the same thing. Cheetos? WTF?[/quote]
Spam definitely wouldn't be great poker food.

Yeah, what Robb said.

I'm not sure what I'd do on the river, b/c or c/c ... depends on my mood I guess. I don't think I could fold.

Pee in an old juice bottle.

I betcha straights are more profitable than flushes.

According to RenTon's preflop guide he would only call a preflop raise like that with Axs if in late position and there are 4+ players in.

I wouldn't call pre-flop, and I would fold post-flop.

Um.... I wouldn't play it that way for sure.

Yes dammit!



:oops:



... seriously though, you know what I meant :P

Dude, not cool. I'm at work here.

So I started off with no tools and was doing pretty well... then I got Poker Tracker and I started losing. Yeah, sample size, yadda yadda, but I still quit trying to use it for live play and I've...

Pretzels and ginger snaps.

You're a much better player with ginger snaps. Pretzels make you thirsty.

Why does that bet suddenly smash all other options? I'd expect the same bet from AK, and if that were the case then I'd be way out in front in a monster pot.

I posted almost the exact same hand.... like exact, even down to the bet amounts. The response seemed to be that I was going to lose it all no matter what.

In my case he had trip kings.

I've also been having the "losing big posts, winning small" problem. I think in my case I've been playing too soft post flop and letting villains catch up to me. Then by the river I'm committed to...

Can I put my entire bankroll on one big blind? That would be awesome. That's why they call it gambling, right?

I wasn't playing perfect poker though. I think I was consistently betting too soft on the flop and letting them catch up without a huge amount of risk to their stack. That's what I needed to know.

Thanks for restating what has already been learned and pointlessly bitching. I greatly appreciate that you took the time to respond.

I am a FTR station-pwn'ing badass motherf**ker.

Well I wasn't exaggerating anything.... but yeah, my bankroll is admittedly undersized. Absolute doesn't go any lower than 0.05/0.10 and now I'm under the minimum needed to withdraw and take my...

You can call it whining but when I lose 95% of my bankroll on hands exactly like these I tend to think I'm doing something wrong, and I want help. Maybe if I were more experienced I'd be able to say...
