Have you tried poker army?
It's a game that suits a cold, systematical approach. |

love the game bigtime mate, but sick of internet poker...waste of time, you have to see someones face to get the full value of playing. i only have 1 dream at this point in my life and thats to travel and play live poker all over the place. ive read a lot books, brunson, helmuth but the best book by a distance is dan harrington's. maybe coz i play very simular,but improved my game 75% the minute i read it |

oh right, I've not played live for years and because of my habit of smiling when I have a good hand, I didn't have much success.
Online it's fairly easy, especially on here, to grind out a profit, if you have a patient, disciplined and systematical approach. I have a number of books, but have only skimmed them and not really learnt anything from them. Better to just play and learn from your mistakes imo. For a start , don't start by playing $5/10 NL as I did ;) |

Saying raise in a croacky (spelt wrongly no doubt) voice when you have AA was enough to tell me live was ever a serious money making option for myself. Still good fun in the cheap tournies.

I'm rubbish at stt's. Getting better at mtt's but cash is what I play to make money. I don't play as much as I used because as you say, it can get very boring, but there are worse ways of making money. |

By:
oh without doubt, its a really good way of passing a few hours and having the chance of making a few bob.

Armagnac have you ever considered charging subscribers to have a live feed into your gambling world and life. I would pay if just to see you do a monkey on the football and mope around the house, hopefully not kicking any kids or animals.

I lack patience in cash which is my one big downfall. Mtt's, I'm quite happy to sit there for 5 hours solid as a rock and make Harrington look uber LAG, but cash I try to force it too much. Expensive lessons learned [smiley:crazy]

Oh and fll I'm the same- smile when I have a big hand

have you read harrington's books, the two book series..one red and the other blue. i recommend them to every poker fan, amazing insight |
|
By:
I've got Vol 1 of Harrington on Hold 'em but not the second one. Some very good points which I've used over the years but not sure how much it holds up to todays online play.
His cash games books are supposed to be good but these days I'm a recreational mtt player online. Would play more live if I had the time but totally different beast to online. |
|
By:
pretty good books but the games moved on several clips since then.
think i'd smash harrington HU online. |

By:
aye, im only interested in mtt these days..live ones. too many fish online, calling stations that hit rivers.
fu ckers would never make thm calls live, coz they would'nt want to look total d!cks...thats the trouble online, people call coz they can hide |

Actually, we have something in common Armagnac, i have played online poker for the past 5 years. I often play 12 hours straight multi tabling up to 14 tables and after a while it can be very draining. You need to take breaks and reward yourself and your loved ones with nice things every so often to make it a worthwhile way of life.
Presently, taking a few months off nearly all gambling due to needing a complete break and also getting married. |

congrats mate, goodluck. another good man bites the dust  online poker and playing 8 tables at once totally destroyed me that much i very very rarely summon the effort to play online now. i loved it at the start, coz i like numbers and was good at maths so i could make the calls as fast as the tables appeared. its the only way you can play online, as long as your getting value for calling and good odds for hitting your outs. its an instant call. waste fo time trying to work out if one is a fish or another is acalling stations when playing loads of tables you have to play the cards and percentages. |

Took Hansen online on FTP and taught him a lesson (hit and run)

By:
Tried to do the same on Zigmund but wasn't to be.
Wanted to say I was up on both of them Not many others out there up on Hansen mind you even though we only played like 5 hands |

Hansen cant be doing well these days, everyone knows his favourite hand is 2 5 off
