are you kidding me? just a couple months ago poker was 2 max bet limit. You couldn't even make any money with the old poker laws in cash games. It was reported that pots were as big as 100k in cash games at the hard rock casino in hollywood. So I hardly think that 2/5 is the max in all of florida.

They freeze empty accounts?

You're right, I don't understand how someone would take their bill money and throw it into a gambling website. Oh wait yes I do. They are addicted and need help.

understanding and sympathetic? You have a gambling problem my friend. If someone supposedly "hacked" my poker account. I wouldn't be on a message board with strangers. I'd be checking my history and on the phone finding out where that money was sent. I don't blame the people here calling BS to your story.

Definately doesn't seem to be a lack of arrogance over there. You do realize you look like an *** to any decent person, right?

I have noticed in crucial tournies..the small stacks go against the big stacks sometimes with dominating hands and the big stack gets the suck out often to knock out a player. It is much different live, though there are suck outs in both. The addicts will say other wise, but it is a much different game live as far as suck outs and small stacks getting taken out of tournies.

SON OF A *****! I have to wait two weeks for my deposit to frickin epassorte so i could finally try doyles room and now its closed!!!!!

Damn right....i do think its good i've cashed in every tourney i've played so far. Actually i'm done in the thread, too many people think they know what they are talking about but are full of ****. Good day and have fun replying back to yourself since you'll be the only reader.

thanks for the advice man.. It's really thought out. guess i'll go look at my 1k profit from this week and ponder what the hell i was thinking because an internet guy can't do it.

One cool thing about todays MTT was that in the buy in everyone pays a 20 dollar bounty so everytime you knock someone out you get 20 bucks right there. I made 100 of my buy in back just on bounty's.. i didn't even know they did this kind of thing. So i learned something new in my first live mtt

Thats awesome.. I hope to do the same in my live games. I'm 4-0 after todays 7th place finish in the $125 MTT. Was my first live one

i've played alot of online. It is not the same to me.i feel better being able to read players live and the slower pace means i don't get the bad beats like i did online. bottom line is my bankroll went from 200 to 1200 in four session this week playing and cashing in all 4 tourneys i played. Anyone that criticizes and says why waste time when i can play online can stfu and leave this thread cause as of now they can't say anything. My tourney today was good. I lasted 6 and a half hours getting to the seventh spot. Not bad for my first MTT tourney considering many of these pe

Gee i don't know.. why would all the big names in poker who made their way playing cash games in a real card room before the tourney boom... Your opinion is your own, and its not on topic so just stay out of the thread cause you're useless here.

blinds are 100.. and you get 1500 for the $100. i know and the aggressive people knock eachother out. so far my tight aggressive patient and some times bluffing has worked. the difference is..while some guy goes in with AQ gets called and gets knocked out..i do not call raises with those if they have alot of chips. i will make the bet with my AQ if i am in good position. i pay attention to alot of things and the whole goal is to make it to the finals.. not throw my money all in with any A or KQ.. i just watch those guys do this preflop and allow me to cash easier.

Of course I wouldn't quit my job.. I just played my first MTT live tourney today. 125 buy in 140 tables with the option to buy back in for full buy in during first hour. I made it to the final table. I knocked out the first person at the table and then basically caught no cards to move in or play the 12k blinds. I tried to be patient and catch but nothing. so thats 3 sitngoes and one multi tourney.. i wanted to make it farther but i just couldn't get a hand and wasn't going to bluff the big stacks with nothing when the blinds were already big. I went out at 7th for 649

Before his WSOP win he had 55k in tourney winnings i read in card player magazine.

Oh I was reading a topic on here about people completely bashing people for making bad plays or fish or whatever... which reminds me.. they do this crap in live game too. I don't want people telling eachother at my table how bad they play and crap.. why would they do this in a real tourney when they aren't even knocked out??? I was getting pissed when this guy kept calling another a fish.. and saying how everyone is kamikazee with their all in's. I'd prefer if the people just played that way and didn't get a damn lesson in how to play right in the middle of me trying to make money.

I think i was addicted lol even though i was playing with such tiny amounts of money it was everything to me in that 20+2 tourney lol My biggest win in a MTT as far as making it farthest in comparison to entrants..was a darn freeroll. I won a hat for getting 5th place in a poker aces freeroll out of 1200 entrants. I did win the 1st rounds of the freerolls for the ultimate bet freeroll and the fulltilt aussie millions freeroll where 36 winners moved to the 2nd round out of 1800. I've had wins just all worthless. I want the big money! lol. and online is not the same as liv

well the thing is i was thinking i could continue to build so i can play the 200 next. and soo on... and be able to afford the big multi tourneys where the prizes are for thousands instead of hundreds.. the highest single table tourney is 1050 buy in with 5k for first. I don't think i'd ever put up that kind of money for a buy in though.

Reading comprehension could work for you. I listed a few different things. You don't think the advice pros like daniel say on different poker talk shows is good advice? Doyle Brunson not a worthy source of knowlege? Not to mention the whole part about that I'm up in all four of my real poker sessions, and then you say "continue to lose money" I"m not talking about online poker now. Good try at your negative comment though. This thread isn't for people like you, It's for people to weigh in that have LIVE poker experience and can give me some of their experiences.

these were all weeknights....many of the same players everynight around the place. It's not the bigger tourist casino a couple blocks away. I'll try the other one soon.

they have the edge in that alot of them are regulars and play all the time. I come from playing online and watching poker on tv and the poker talk shows. I do find I'm more comfortable playing live though...not as in more comfortable than in my own home, It's just a feeling of confidence I get when i'm sitting there being able to actually see the other players. In my second game i played, i got to final 3 as chip lead against a guy who i was later told was "really good" and a guy who said he "does this all the time" I think i was more facisinated by the guys chip tricks...lol

the rake is 17.5% I assume you guys are talking about the amount thats not in the prize pool. It's $825 out of the $1000 for the 100 dollar tourneys. Is this bad? I'm up a good amount in the 3 games even though I only placed 3rd my last one. Up 590 minus dealer tip. Honestly there are alot of places to play. But these are the stakes I have to deal with since I live down here for now, and I still want to play and win even though the rakes are bad.

Ty.. Dont discourage me though. I might have something going where i can get back all those online busts

well 3 is all i have so far cause i went the past 3 nights and took tonight off. the structure is 10 players, 100 buy in.1st 4152nd 2453rd 165not too fond of blind structure. its 1500 chips blinds start at 50/100 so only 15x BB If there are people left to act I tend to fold most of my pairs cause theyll just raise me and many times people with small pairs have gotten beat by a bigger hand. My first game there were two people all in and one had more chips than me. I had JJ but i didn't want to risk, so i had to muck it. sure enough I wouldve been gone. I've
