Well, this upcoming wedding is taking more of my time than I anticipated. I've been playing a little, but not a whole lot. The software is fine and there are games going but the rake seems really high. I haven't calculated it, but it often seems like the money drains faster than you can win it ... The play @ $4NL isn't "good" per se, but definitely NOT as easy as it should be at this level. It's a bit of a double edged sword. I like playing and have fun playing, but looking ahead it's hard to be too optimistic. I suspect it would take a heckuva an effort to be a winning player @ $50NL let alone somewhere you could actually make a buck like $100NL and beyond. To be honest, $25NL may not be a sure thing ::eeek:: but we shall see.
