    Try 'Rush Poker' on Full Tilt. I've heard off some lad that it's great. You've probably seen the advert. Basically as soon as you fold a hand you're relocated to another table with another hand immediately. Saves ****ing about waiting for players if you're playing cash games.

    i don't ever play online poker anymore, not because i'm bad at it, its because i always end up clicking on the roulette icon and end up losing all my money, that damn wheel is too tempting for me

    I played online poker for a bit and got quite good at was able to win fairly large amounts a higher stakes but i would get impatient and lose it all on a bad night i would not recommend getting into it.

    I spent a month building £50 into £500 learning the game slowly getting better then for some reason i would have one bad night and be reckless and lose it all and after that never recover so ultimately i think i am too flawed to play.

    I think online you have to really spend a fair bit to get good and spend a lot of time and potentially money learning whats best and whats not i played on Full Tilt

    That's just reckless bankroll management man :lol: You probably got a bit too big for your boots because you were winning. You could have upped the stakes a little without risking all your kitty :verysad

    I tried 888poker to begin with because I had trouble logging in on Boylepoker and Betfair and I've forgot my Skybet account. Did pretty well on the microstakes last night.

    Berdych is ****ing up Isner. He'll play Murray next, watch out Murray...think he might get hammered.

    I don't play much anymore but William Hill is good.

    Expect much more loose passive play than 'live' games - your bluffs will get called often and so are of little value but loose opponents offer other advantages but you will need the cards as you will keep getting called

    Matthew Hilger wrote a good book about online poker - i have it somewhere - can't remember the title

    I used to play nightly - Fri & Sat night after the pubs close is a good idea!!

    Either I have got worse or other people have got better but winning is harder work than it was so I play less now - I was paying for holidays with it 5 or 6 years ago but it is a grind now and not much fun

    I use betfair. Just very small stakes. Everyone tries to bluff every hand it seems very easy to win. But only win small and betting on sports is much more profitable.

    Yeah bredych always beats him though. Beat him in the world cup last week in a tb so no surprise. Should be good match with murray who got bageled against bagdhatis ffs. Tsonga performing well atm although injured could be a dark horse.

    betdaq poker is superb value as many of the gurantee tornies fail to fill the $50 1k granteedfreezeout sometimes has as few as 12 runners and the end of month 150k torny is superb value,
