This is my first time with a real money account at Poker Stars. I used to play at UB, primarily PL Omaha 8/b and NL Holdem though. So basically this is my first time using a real money account exclusively for limit HL.I bought in for $50 and have been playing .25/.50 Is this limit too high for such a small buyin?If so, what kind of bankroll should I have to support a .25/.50 game and when should I move up limits, etc.

It's 7:14 AM EST and I can't connect. Anyone else feelin me?

The hands I had to worry about with the capped action before the flop were AA, KK, and QQ.So when the flop got checked around to me, I was pretty sure JJ was the best hand at that moment (and it was)

Come join me. I am at Danae II.

I brought in $15 to the table and played ~200 hands. Ended up with 19.25, not an amazingly profitable session, but not bad either.Here are a few hands you might want to discuss.------------------PokerStars Game #1253446547: Hold'em Limit ($0.25/$0.50) - 2005/02/22 -09:11:07 (ET)Table 'Buryatia' Seat #2 is the buttonSeat 1: nelijo11 ($8 in chips) Seat 2: bull7272 ($8.90 in chips) Seat 3: Mopsie ($14.90 in chips) Seat 4: SlippyJacks ($15.60 in chips) Seat 5: T&J's Mom ($18.25 in chips) Seat 7: BPV3 ($16.95 in chips) Seat 8: Kiowa05 ($4.40 in chips) Seat 9: snacher ($9.75 in chips) Seat 10:

How did you fare? Also an interesting post titled "poker logistics" or something like that you might want to answer.

The game Daniel is referring to is probably regulated mostly by the players. I don't know if they bring cash to the games or not at those stakes. But I have seen games in Tunica where players bring 100,000 cash in bags and sit at a table. To buy chips, they just place a stack of bills on the table, at which point that cash is protected with the rest of the cash for that table. Then you receieve chips for the cash you gave, and you play.I am guessing that they prefer to keep the "logistics" of the big game pretty private however. The deatils of any game where that kind of money switches place t

happy birthday herr callahan.you are getting old, shave that mustache maybe?see you friday.

Smash is dead on here.Most Americans seem swindled by our administration's "look here, not over here" magic trick.Just because someone dug up one "touching" story about the war in Iraq doesn't make up for this..

He might need some conditioning if he keeps taking quarter million dollar hits at the commerce.(not meant as an insult of course, just an observation)

i don't see how you could not call that river raise.if AK holds up there at least one in every 10 times you are profiting.

yeah, you gotta raise the turn

Yikes, if you are going to play A3 unsuited this kind of thing is going to happen to you.I would have called the river.

also its nice to see that ted forrest is finally playing the game everyone knows he can

the grinder must be catching

Dr. Phil, is that you?! Welcome to the forum!

i bet daniel likes to speak for himselfshould i have appropriately formatted that statement like this (being in reply to yours)i bet,,, daniel likz.......,,,, to speek for himself///////

it's not like these guys wrote a book called "how to cheat at poker and why it's the right thing to do"some of you act like you have never done the "wrong thing" before. whenever money is on the line, people are always looking for a little edge. that's how you make money. do you think bill gates is a billionaire because he is a moral and sensitive man?i'm not trying to say they did the right thing, but this is a ****ing poker forum, go be over sensitive elsewhere.and seriously, do any of you REALLY care? are you going to tell your girlfriend about it or ponder it before you go to sleep? so all

You shouldn't be playing pocket sixes to a re-raise that is 20x the big blind.You shouldn't call any raise with 7/8 off-suit.I'm not sure it is bad beats you need to worry about.

It is actually ralph steadman who does the artwork for the beer bottles. Also did a lot of work for thompsons books.oh yeahoopsR.I.P. ?
