Hi Chaser,

The problem with these sites is not getting money in, it's getting money out. I'd be wary of Stars allowing you to transfer money out of their site to anything but FT. You'll either not get your deposit back or else never see your winnings.

Stick to high street bookies that have poker sites. Paddy Power, Coral, Laddies etc all give you free money afaik.

Yep I can play 18 quite easily, though my resolution starts to disintegrate at 17 tables, so that's about my limit , 15 would be optimal for me

It takes a lot of practice & you must really know the game well to start with !

I cascade my tables , tiling doesn't work for any more than 8 imo , multi screens are a thing of the past

It's a sick life mate, you really have to see the bigger picture

I used to enjoy it until 2010-11 9was playing $50 then & played mainly for game profit , my ROI was 7%

Now everybody at $60 is Supernova or Supernova elite

I've been told I can do Supernova elite if I can deal with Huge swings ($100k year)

I know nothing of poker but i enjoyed reading all that.

Ovalman loves farming the Donks too , but as I try to tell him you'll never learn enough to climb up the levels the longer you make pennies from them

Bigger pro's are very tough , they won't just fold to, or flat call you,  they'll make you make the next/big decision, def not the type of fish you'll meet at lower stakes

there's a huge dif between $30 players & $60 players

I came from a freeroll background, never having to deposit unless to lift out but their a great place to learn. I encourage my mates to go this route of which the majority ignore

I'd be one of the regs on I-Poker (Betfair, WH, PP and sometimes Boyle.) I play the various skins for various promotions, WH for example give a £15 free bet for £28 in rake (I lay it off on here). I'm also a SnG player, anything from the €2k Jackpots to €20 SnGs. I've a problem with volume which I explained to McMoon, on Monday I played 50+ games, last 3 days I couldn't be bothered and just played a handful.

I'm guessing with range merging your using a HUD/ Tracking software? At low stakes just play it ABC against the unknowns while against the regs try and understand what type of reg they are and adopt your game. Not everybody uses a HUD (I don't think McMoon does) so don't think too much into stats. I still keep notes despite using a HUD and Notecaddy. In saying that I had trouble with 1 reg on Stars in the 45 man games and discovered my fold to 3 bet was very high, I started 4 betting and pushing wider and his problems stopped. Where tracking software really helps is plugging leaks of your own, as I said my fold to 3 bet stat was very high until I discovered the problem and I was able to fix. I'm sure I've also many other leaks I still don't know but will plug eventually. Remember not to over compensate except against the players you know are using a HUD.

I don't play higher stakes as I've usually never the bankroll but there are never any fish at these stakes and in a 6 max game your at a table full of regs where the edges are far smaller. I table select when I play €20 (which equates into a $30) but I'd say I-Poker is far softer than Pokerstars at a level stake.

I've a different method than McMoon to make a profit, my stakes are lower but I play for the ROI and not the points. In saying that I target promotions on sites which tops up my ROI. I then move sites and target other promotions finally come to Betfair where I have a 30% RB account. BTW do you know about sandboxie, it will allow you to play several I-Poker skins at the same time although with no HUD. Great for a site specific freeroll

going to start playing again but not as much as i used to as i will be doing mostly football bets

but will be in the $5 tournaments and sit and gos to start when i get back into it

On I-Poker, bad beats can be horrendous but a €10 is the same standard as a $1.50 on Stars. Stars is full of regs even at micro stakes. My Sharkscope is open on Poker stars (same username) but I've just been going round in circles. I can beat micro stakes but every time I move up I'm faced with the same problems of tables full of regs. I may be one of the better regs and don't play an ABC reg game but a tight aggressive reg-fest is difficult to beat.

I-Poker is vastly different, I'm playing and beating €10 and I won the dirty dozen jackpot last month. I don't want to play good players TBH. Too many float without odds , I'll just value town them all the way ;) but anyone who knows to float and check raise properly are few and far between. There are some good regs but tables are not full of them. I've always felt that to do well in a SnG you need a mix of good and bad players. If your at a table full of whales then your sure to be bad beated but if there are a couple of average players then they will pick off the whales while in turn you can pick them off. Tables full of TAGs are the opposite, you really have to turn into a LAG to win. That's why I table select for higher stakes games, there's usually a couple of decent but you also get a few whales. You never find this on Stars.

I still play the odd game on Stars but I've more or less moved away. When I do play, it's for games like the added money Pokercast or for games where nobody uses a HUD like Stud. I like Limit type games where more mistakes can be made on every street. I'm in no way an expert but I know not to chase without odds, villains tend to chase any gutshot and call one street too many.

On Sharkscope there is a variety of Ovalman's, I'm the original but my son plays under 23, 24 ect. He's a calling station fish even though I've tried to teach him otherwise. It's not me, honest I don't use Ovalman on I-Poker and I've hidden my usernames on SS (except PP375192 where I got a free $5 and am aiming for $1k, then $10k), the less info villains know about me the better but I'm sure 1 or 2 regs have me pwnd, that's why I'm always looking at my own stats to plug leaks.

If you've already tried PT or HEM, try installing it again and then uninstall with the free Revo uninstaller. This will remove all traces of the program that the normal uninstaller won't remove. You may get another free trial again

The HUD sent me on total tilt when I first started using it but now I understand the numbers I can't do without it. It's the best $100 I've spent. It won't teach you how to play but it will give you an instant indication of your opponents. Some players have 100% Cbet for instance and I know you only hit the flop 1 time in 3. It's most useful for plugging leaks of your own.

Buy it imo, even if it's just to plug your own leaks.
