I little OT, but what are good tipping practices for tourneys? What if you win a large amount? If you win 100K, what is the expected tip. No freaking way I am tipping 10% (or 5%).

One thing you have to keep your eye on is the game conditions of each table. How many people are seeing the flop? How aggressive is the table? When you see yourself losing money at a table, make sure you know why. Did you play some draws aggressively and they just didn't come in? Did you get some bad beats? Or are you at a tough table with some other tight-aggressives?If it is one of the first two, don't worry. If it is the latter, switch tables.The one thing I have discovered multi-tabling (I usually play 3-4) is one of the hardest things to do is to keep up with each tables constantly changi

If you are interested in playing 0.50/1 LHE and 25 max NL to start off, you cannot beat Party in terms of number of tables and the low-quality of their players.+1

First of all, if you have ANY kind of hand you call a $6 bet into a $90 pot. You only have to win 1 out of 15 times to show a profit. If you find yourself folding a lot of $6 river bets into $90 pots, you are going WAY to far with bad hands or you are just giving away massive pots. If I missed my nut flush draw, I just may call a $6 bet into a $90 pot with just ace high depending on how many people are left and how the hand went down. Second, getting river calls is great for getting in value bets. If two people want to call my river bet and my top set with their one pair, sweet! Calling statio

This is the opposite of what to do. You need to be playing a lot of of pots looking to hit with your J 9 suited or 87 or whatever. The key being that when you hit you get paid big $$$$$$$$ . Hands like big pairs loose a lot of value. No sense to even bet your AA or KK on boards of 10 9 7 5 ect.. You need to play very very carefully with 6 + players to the pot and only 1 pair.Suited aces are especially profitable in this environment. If you indeed have 6-7 people on the flop, you can get a TON of bets in with these hands when you hit you flush draw/flush. As somebody else said, read SSHE - it

No, the saddest part of this thread is we have 20 comments on how to play AK without one mention of that hands +EV preflop. THAT is why you raise and reraise with AK.

I started my Party Poker account a few months ago with $50 and ran it up to over $2000 over the course of a few months. Having cashed out as I went along, I had about $1000 in there at the beginning of June. And that is when things started to go badly...A combination of playing above my BR, playing SNGs (I made my money at Limit and NL cash games and I am not great at SNGs) and just plain bad play (often while tilting) whittled my BR down to next to nothing. Often I would log in determined to play smart, I would almost always start off well, but I would eventually lose more money. Then last ni

That is without a doubt the best rule in poker.No it is not. Speaking strictly about limit poker, if your table is playing loose you can play looser. You are getting better pot odds, so you play more hands preflop. Suited aces, suited connectors and small pocket pairs become much more profitable in limit HE with many players seeing the flop than they are with few players seeing the flop. In fact, loose tables are what you want in limit HE. When you make you straight and flushes, you get paid off HUGE by chasers.Several people have mentioned SSHE in this thread. I have read it cover to cover an

Not sure what limits/site you observed, but here are my thoughts...I play $100 NL and PartyPoker. To me, these tables are quite loose, with 4-5 players seeing the flop, often with a raise. In fact, the play is considerably looser than comparable limit games (e.g. 2/4). This is why I stricly play NL at PartyPoker - it is too hard to find sufficiently loose limit games.So to answer your original question, I would stick to 10 person tables - more "free" hands with just as loose of play.As for you other comments, if the blinds are .5/1, I wouldn't raise or than $5 pre-flop. $10 is way too much. St

As far as online poker goes, I am in agreement with the OP.I have found NL *much* more profitable for me than limit. But I am talking about low limits on Party Poker: 2/4 and 3/6 vs. $50 and $100 NL. Yes, the swings are more. But I am finding it harder and harder to find very profitable limit games, even at this level. Most of the tables I find (that do not have *huge* wait lists). Are relatively tight for this limit (3-5 per flop) and quite passive. The tables that do appear profitable (looser and more aggressive) have long wait lists. And often by the time my name comes up, the texture of th
