And why is that? It's cause they see a HELL of a LOT MORE hands! Plain and simple. You get better by playing more.

I second this except that is is actually by Ed Miller. Sklansky did the foreward along with some other assistance. Also try Hold-Em and HEPFAP by Skansky. HEPFAP paid for itself the first time I played after reading it. Millers book really made a difference in my online play.
There may be discussion among players here about which book is the best but any book besides Hellmuth will give you some new insight into the game and help you improve. | | Static Link |

Jay I'm a newb, so you gotta take what I say with a grain of salt.
I can only base my game & play on my own experience and when I've played home games (usually not my own home); there's usually a couple to a few people I've never played against before and I do pretty well. Again, I'm fairly new to poker and most of my experience is online, so I guess only time wil tell.
And again, thanks for the comments/advice guys. | | Static Link |

Forum: Bonus Whores | I have absolutely zero experience of poker outside the online kind, and while you are probably right that you have never lost 3 full houses to bigger hands in a home game week - have you considered how many hands you played in these two scenarios?
I don't know if you are multitabling or not (which is really hard to do in home/B&M games ); but even playing only one table online I imagine you get a lot more hands dealt in the online kind.
So while you have lost 3 full houses to a larger full house in a week - perhaps that is just 3 out of 3000 hands ... while a week of home games would be some hundred hands. Or whatever.
Might just put a little perspective on things, but just keep at it - try to adjust to the game types online - and you'll do fine | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Loke at March 18, 2005, 11:32 am | | Topic: Is there a strategy in online poker low limit games??? Forum: Bonus Whores | | I'm with you FeelingLucky. I started using GT+ recently and have had a nice streak going. Top pair has been holding up often and I've won some nice cash without seeing a straight or flush, or even a set for that matter, though I have also expanded my starting hand selection to include a lot more AXs hands. But, these results may be due more to that fact that I've been playing the crypto sites much more than any Party skins. With all the bonus whoring that began around the Christmas holiday season, Party seemed to have a ridiculous amount of bad beats. "Any two cards" seemed to be the mantra and someone at the table was going to hit just about every flop. That may be what this fellow is experiencing. And the lower the limit, the worse it will be. | | Static Link |

Forum: Bonus Whores | | the thing about playing the tighter tables is that u won't get suked out on by 93o or some junk like that as often.it also gives u a better chance to figure out what the other guys are betting on and adjusting ur play to capitalize on their mistakes.on the looser tables sometimes u dont have a clue what the other guy is calling or betting with and all u can do is hope that after the river card ur hand is still good (unless u absolutely have the nutz). | | Static Link |

True. A problem with tight tables though, worth mentioning, is that the only people who stay in the hand (and thus add money to the pot) actually have good cards...
I always searched for these not-so-aggressive tables at first, but I've come to like the looser ones more. Guess the variance is greater, but it's nice getting payed off by people calling. | | Static Link |

Forum: Bonus Whores | Between this discussion, the "it ain't my nite" thread and another thread about AA vs AKs (who is the favorite to win in multiway pots, etc); I have to reflect on my last month or so of poker...
First of all: Bad beats and suckouts - yeah, they do happen. Perhaps more so at low limit games, where people feel they can "affoard" to call to the river (can't compare to high limits or no limit myself, no experience). I have yet to find the tables where 9 people on average joins the flop and 5 of them stay to the river, though...
And though my sample size is small, I've been amazed to see how many hands - even multiway with big pots - my top pair/top kicker or overpair hands win. Yes, some people stay to the river even if I bet and raise consistantly all the way there - but they don't always make their draws (if they even had one). Often they draw to the river and fold to the last river bet. Or call when they are beat.
It feels like I haven't made a flush or straight all month (th... | | Read Entire Entry |

| Posted by: klo at March 17, 2005, 8:16 pm | | Topic: Is there a strategy in online poker low limit games??? Forum: Bonus Whores | Consider the possibilities:
1) You are having a terrible run of luck. They happen. They're supposed to happen. They can last longer than seems believable. What does this mean? Apparently, God hates you just now. Perform the rituals & sacrifices dictated by custom, & that should fix it.
2) You don't play as well as you think you do. Find the leaks. Fix them.
3) Internet poker is rigged. It may be. But then why I am I winning? I haven't bribed anyone.
It's probably a mix of 1 & 2.
If you are playing correctly & getting whipped anyway, just keep playing correctly or quit playing. I don't see any other options.

For the past couple months I've been getting murdered in low limit ring games by idiots calling big raises on boards they have no reason to be involved with in the first place. Needing 2 cards after the flop or with only 4 outs on the river and they seem to hit every damn time. Whether it?s Party, Full Tilt, Pokerroom? I?m probably down $500 in the past 4 months playing on $.25 and lower tables. The draws online are ridiculous and over-plentiful. And when I finally DO win a hand, it?s a measly buck or two. Not to mention at least 3 times a week I get KK and someone acting behind me is blessed with AA. But what happens when I have AA? I either win a tiny pot (whether I slow play it or if I bet) or I get outdrawn by Numnutz27 who called my 5X bb raise with a 63os.
