I agree and feel better for starting the so called "worst thread ever on this site" Even though I didn't come across what i wanted, You guys sorted it out and I got a good feeling on the subject...Thanks

You can bring as much as you want into the US, but just have to declare anything over 10k.

Good point and i was going to bring it up and should of used the example of say 3/6 limit to 1/2 nlI'm not a high stakes player, but find myself comfortable up to $1/2nl but have felt comfortable up to $4/8 limit even though i play 20 times more NL

Thanks,I might take you up on that. Will have to get with it and finally get AIM or MSN though :)I'm no stranger to limit but it has been quite a while. I have won some limit tournies, but really get bored with limit tournies. I do like limit cash games though. Heck, I started with Limit well before the boom hit.

And even worse now But true. Not one of my better thought out late night forum threads

I agree with Nl being more profitable. I have played nl 90% of the time over the last 5 years.Guess just watching some really fishy 30/60 games made me think If i'm missing something Still think it might be fun to sayPlay 40-80 hours each of limit, nl and plo and just compare some numbers..i know very small sample, but would be nice to see for myself.

I aggree and it's logical to me, but some people swear that limit is the way to go and was hoping to get some input by them.you see more hands and probably get more rakeback in the long run too, too help equal them out.

It's kinda a hard comparison i guess, but just talking about the normal average player. Say a good player at 3/6 limit with the same amount of time (not hands) played versus the good $3/6 nl player. who do you think makes more over the long haul??

With everything considered, which game do you think is the most profitable for the good player.I'm talking when you include hands per hour, bonuses/rakeback and level of play.I'm thinking about concentrating on limit for about a month and come up with my own conclussion but thought i would throw it out there for some debate from good players in both games.I have played NL for far too long and don't even know if i can win at limit for a month but after watching 30/60 for awhile, It does seem pretty soft and good hands get payed off (when you don't get sucked out on)

How many tables do they have there. Always wanted to go. How does it compare to Vegas cardrooms?

First time posting on this site in 2007, so why not bump this thread Don't anyone welcome me back or anything, cuz i will probably just post for a week and then disappear for another year

I was really looking forward to a 4 day weekend for some poker.Got off work and started playing Nl cash on UB..Ran KK inot AA 3 times within an hour...One time be QQ i'm against...lolgo over to bodog and start with NL cash...3rd hand get 10-10 in the c/o raised in front of me i raise sb goes all-in 2 callers... i muck they have A-8, 99, KQ99 goes all-in on an 8 high flop.....freaking huge pot but don't have enough info to call there. Everything say's at least 1 or 2 have me crushed, and really think the 3 KK hands played into my head anyway :)then to top it off. have 2-5 suited in the BB..bunc

ok, back from work and this is just a subject that can be debated till blue in the face. I'm sticking to my opinion until I see proof.I always love when this debate comes up, that even though no one has said pokerstars is doing anything on purpose, people still have to say we are saying the site is rigged. In no way do i believe this, as they make so much money regardless that they don't have to rig it.But just think they have a flawed RNG. I'm not some newbie that has played a little poker. I have played Hold'em for 15+ years (way before it was popular) and will put my bad beats against anyon

suggesting that it is not possible for the RNG to be as random as it could be is kinda of sad as well .never said ps is trying, but i really do believe in what i say about it not being that random. I have to go to work now but will continue when i get off.

you know how stupid you sound by not reading posts. don't see anyone saying they are the only one get bad beats, just alot of people who see way too many beats period on that site.I go away from this site for a few months, but it's the same person who responds right away after a post of mine calling people stupid...some things never change

I posted a thread in another forum similar to OP, and while 90% of the responces were in agreement that the randomness of pokerstars is way off and really think they need to tweak the RNG, you always get a poster like you that calls people morons for speaking their opinion, although i never seen once the OP say the word "rigged"It's only rigged if you think certain player's are getting special treatment, but the bad RNG has no preference, so everyone is getting them.I would love a math guy to analyze PS compared to other sites for the %of turns/rivers sucking out and just the shear number of a

I'm not too happy with neteller right now...so much for their 4-5 business days to clear.. it cleared my bank last Monday. i thought mansion was going to end it early. i should have deposited from Party....oh well sure is nice to have money floating around in cybespace.I went to cancel it with neteller, but can't even do that even though it says just hit cancel to end pending transactions.2 for 1 deal...mansion and neteller losing my business. it would have been nice to know mansion had a 5000 person cap. i sure didn't see it in the small print. i bet there will be people who make this bet wit

At 22k hands....mostly NL59.8% won at showdown

I would reply to your question, but can't get past you're terrible forum screenname.Huskies undefeated....I can say that for another 6 days but too bad you can't say that about the cougs for 1 second.

I agree with you for the most part. I think of myself as above average tipper. I will even usually tip for going to pick up my food from a take out joint, but you have to at least provide something of a service, but there is some things that i just don't value enough to be tipped.Quick little story from a couple a weeks ago...I go to a local casino in Canada and use the restroom...there is an attendant just standing by the exit door, doesn't greet me or anything...I do my business, go to wash my hands and there is a tip jar next to the sink. I'm not going to tip a restroom attendant....let me

What does being a new person have to do with it.I've played poker for 25 years and played just about every game, but still my favorite game in NLHE.It is so true about the TV...Up until 2 years ago my home game would play all the other classics (guts, baseball, screw your neighbor, etc) even when i tried to teach them some others like (omaha, pineapple, hold'em etc) they wouldn't want to play.....but in the last 2 years, NLHE the only freaking game we will play now....It is my favorite, but doesn't mean that's all i want to play

some poker sites just make it so hard to deposit....I like party...deposit within seconds direct from my checking account.I wanted to play a full tilt tourney tonight, but what a hassle and finally give up. tried visa but my banks won't allow it, tried mastercard from a different source...no good... can't use neteller as it would take too long to get the funds in there and i'm not going to pay a fee to get instacash....finally i try firepay, which i haven't used in years and had to backtrack to trace down an old email finally get it all current again then they want me to validate my bank accou

I absolutely play just for the love of the game. I have made some good money in poker, but does not drive me at all. I think I will always try and stay a fairly small stakes cash game player as it really let's me just have fun and could really care less if i lose, other than just being competitive. Still to this day, I can win 6k in a tourney and go over to my friends house and play all night HU for free...for the same reason, I do not play multi tables, as it's just not fun for me even though I could make alot more money.

True, but then would have to prove that while I might be on the poker site, did I play for money, or just playing for free.

agreed
