The great thing about science is that people put their work out there and say disprove it. To be good science you have to replicate your results time and time again.Sure you can choose to not believe in gravity if you want to, since it's just a made up term according to one poster's logic. However your beliefs and science will come to a collision if you decide to step off a tall building, I wonder what theory will win out.

If someone was really that hard up to do it I'd imagine you could turn $300 into a grand by bonus whoring around clearing the bonus and cashing out. FT has a 100% bonus so say you break even and win your rake back you're already at 600.

get a bad rap on this site and I don't know why. Yes you start out with 800 chips and the blinds elevate quickly but after playing on Party for over two years I've found it's easier to win a tournament there than most sites. Here's why, Party has the largest number of fish so with most tournaments you're only going to have a full table for a limited number of hands, usually by the time the first round ends there's 7 or 8 people left. What happens in the third and fourth rounds of these tournaments is people see that only 3-4 more people need to go out for them to make the money and if you can

You might have to get a second job because you've lost your bank roll, you might have to move in with your family because you lost your bank roll cry me a freaking river, if you had lived within your means, played limits that supported your bankroll, I wouldn't have to look at a post like this. What you thought that you would win every single time your logged on to your account? Can't say I feel sorry for you to have to learn the hard way making money at poker often is more work than actually working for money.

at party poker? I've never understood this. There's hundreds of online casinos out there if you want to gamble go there your odds can't be any worse. You have to pp software for poker use it for that and that alone.

What the op described is tournament poker. People take shots with hands in tournaments they wouldn't take in cash games. You moved all in on a guy who held KJ, without anymore information I would guess that when he called he thought he was calling a coin flip, turns out he was wrong but still hit one of three cards in the deck for him to win, that's tournament poker.I would also suggest figuring out a money management system since you've been losing 1k/month obviously it took you a lot longer to build your br up to 2k so giving it all away in such a short period of time is the sign of bad, bad

First of take AA everytime. And the idea that one couldn't get away from AA after the flop is about as dumb. With that many limpers anything is possible so if you play a decent amount you realize that top pair concealed or not isn't really that strong of a hand so you're going to play with caution. You make the assumption that in a 9 way pot you hit your 569 flop that I'm going to pay you off, why? There are 9 people in the hand and anyone of them could easily limped with 55,66,99, 78, 56.

I use to think that I didn't bluff enough also. Of course this was back when a q5 suited looked like a good hand from early pos. Did some reading, did some experimenting and learned that several thing go into creating a bluff. My guess is that if you feel you're not bluffing enough you're not paying enough attention to the table. Close the porn playing on your browser and pay attention to the players when you're not in a hand. And when you do bluff make a realistic stab at the pot not an over bet that sounds the alarm "hey don't call this I'm bluffing". If you don't like the all out bluff empl

where your draw beats what the other guy is holding, turns out even better when even pairing one of your holecards can win.

Gone "broke' twice. I put $50 into pp two years ago for my third and final buy in (when I had no idea what I was doing). Played lots of $5 sng's (again not realizing the rake was horrible for that limit) and some $25 nl cash games. I've been on that ever since and now have a bankroll that allows me to play 20-30 sng's and I switched to 1/2 limit instead of the nl tables. That being said a reason for going broke isn't always a player's skill or br management. One of my friends is a better player than I am yet he has had violent swings in online poker because he doesn't use common sense. It will

You didn't give enough information about your hand, please post a pic of your girlfriend so we can make an accurate judgement

If you file it as gambling income you will only be able to deduct I believe 3,500 for losses. Now if you file as a self-employeed gambler you will have to itemize (hope you keep good records) all your sessions. Taxable income under gambling income is roughly 36k under self-employeed 10 k. The great thing about the self-employeed route is you get to deduct things associated with the cost of doing business ie the cost of your computer, internet connection, I guess if you eat a Whopper while playing deduct that too.

Not only is this cheating it's bad poker. The object of poker is to collect as many bets as possible by checking it down you're leaving money in your wife's stack that you could use later on down the line. Anytime you pass up an opportunity to make your stack bigger you are playing bad poker and the epitomy of this would be checking down the nuts. I'm not even sure a death threat could make me check down the nuts.

It should be illegal to consider going pro in poker until you have won enought to support yourself for 1-2 years.It's impossible to explain to people that large online poker sites aren't rigged so don't even try.No one thinks they are a bad player they are just "unlucky".An average player that makes few mistakes will cash more than the above average player who makes many. Only difference is the above average player will win the whole damn thing every now and then.Poker needs a central governing body, right now 7.5 mil seems huge for a first place payout. With a central body we'd be looking at
