Well as long as you want to talk about Phil Ivey, it should be mentioned that he grinded it out at the 1-4 stud tables for months before moving up...granted, he was playing 75/150 stud in no time, but hey, he's Phil Ivey. I agree with everyone that stated that bankroll management and well timed stakes movement are the utmost important factor in playing poker as a "job." A "job," after all, implies a steady stream of profit, not taking wild risks at higher stakes...unless you have the sort of job where you make money one week and then go broke the next three.Poker players that gamble tend to go

yeah i did it through pokersource...thank god...the limit tables are pretty fishy and profitable, but the site sucks wang in general. i have yet to see a single player on a non hold em game, they dont even spread stud, and its lobby was obviously designed by a retarded monkey. plus the sng's are horrid.

Adding to the numerous offers forfull tilt,u can sign up at the site below for 100% bonus, 20 bucks immediately sent to your account after your first deposit, and entry into monthly raffles for cash, books, dvds, chip sets, etc.

im trying to work off my bonus on noble...anyone know how many hands are required? i cant wait to leave this garbage site...thanks

ultimate bet spreads 2-7 and a-5 triple draw as low as .25/.50...maybe lower fulltilt very well may add triple draw soon as wellbe nice to play 2-7 single draw nl online, but oh well. by the way, the play at .25/.50 is often horrid. watch and steam as people draw three over and over and catch. play tight and its easily beatable.have fun

Royal Vegas: 10 bucks free w/out noble, 100% deposit bonus plus an additional ten free full tilt: 100% bonus (feel free to click on my below link, i am an affiiliate)partypoker: 100 dollar (instant bankroll.com) get there right at midnight and sign up as soon as possible. ultimate bet: 40% bonus plus check out www.pokersourceonline.comthere are too many to mention, would really appreciate it if you would use me (Socko669) when u sign upgood luck, have fun

so i threw a little cash into this site to take advantage of the 100% bonus offer. Is it me or is this one of the worst poker rooms around? they dont even spread stud, which is why i opted to only put a portion of my online bankroll on there. it is next to impossible to get a non holdem ring game going there. on the plus side, the limit and nl games are fish galore, especially late at night. the tournaments and sit and go's are horrid, and the site's audio is worse than nails on chalkboard. what a garbage site...i can barely play there even if it is profitable. anyone else relate?

of course the stud chapters in supersystem one and two are awesome. definitely read those.my personal favorite is:Seven Card Stud For Advance Players by David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth, and Ray Zee(its a two plus two book)awesome book.its well written and outlines clear winning stud strategyit's available online and in most book stores. I think its a must read for anystud enthusiast.i love stud...there are so many fish on the 1-2 tables online...happy fishing

Anyone else drawn to this game...of course its not real poker but damn i sure like the action. What a waste of money.

Pretty much every pro has gone broke at least once or twice. They are by nature gamblers, and its often the gambling away from the table that breaks their bankroll. For a lot of guys money is nothing more than green coupons for more action. In addition, a lot of pros move up to the higher or highest stakes and get busted out because they have no room for variance at the level with their bankroll. I have to admit that when im at casino i have to fight the urge to play other games...even though i love poker and it is my most profitable game. but that roulette table and that damn 3- card poker ar

pokerstars, IMO, moves players a lot more often then the other sites ive played on. Maybe this is just in my imagination, but it sures seems to happen a lot more there. I play a lot of stud tourneys there and have busted out a few times due to table moves...of course it was my fault, as instead of being patient and getting a read on the new table i played the same game i had played on the last table. bad idea. if you get moved, be patient. you probably already know this, but its something that a lot of good players seem to forget...and you gotta have a tight game if you want to win that seat.

should be just a pic of the krablar

I believe his site is poker1.com...you will find a ton of usefuls charts and stats. have fun

i would lose across the board, though i might be able to put up somewhat of a fight in H.O.R.S.E... at least lose with a touch of dignity. I think the fun and experience would be far greater than 2 g's. I suck at golden tee and most sports videos games. It would be an embarassment.

Dke, dont hate cuz you are actually thinking about staking some random guy off of an internet poker forum. I mean, if you really just want to give away money then give it to charity. my post was funny. almost as funny as the makeup on yr face on yr pic (is that yr pic? if not disregard. I guess it could be some goth dude or pansy singer)

As long as people are asking to get staked, then why doesnt someone stake me to play with Barry Greenstein in the big game. All i need is five hundred grand. i had the money but then the dea impounded my yacht and found 200 kilos of coke and a box of weapons grade plutonium. Not to mention a snuff film and a dead body. So yeah, I had to spend my million dollar bankroll for bail. So im currently out on bail and looking for a backer in the big game. Just send $500,000 to my pokerstars account. i will pay u back i promise.

ok, so if you guys wanna talk politics at a poker site, i will combine the two:here you gotop five reasons liberals suck at poker5. in tournaments they insist that all minority players get a 2:1 chip advantage4. they argue during no limit games because it too closely resembles trickle down economics...how dare someone have a big stack when everyone else has fewer chips...the playing field should always be level (except in the above case)3. they are too pc and claim that the use of the word "spade" to describe a cards suit is derogatory and racist.2. likewise the use of the word "straight" is

two pair beats trips...by far the worst idea ever, not to mention the dumbest. wow. i am taken back by the sheer stupidity of it.as far the op, i have faced a similar problem...loosen up your game and study the players that much more. I like to pinpoint who is the resident raiser, the calling station, the bluffer, the tightwad, etc. figure out who is who and dont trap yourself into one of those categories. i usually find that a few well executed traps or slowplays tends to get a little respect. gl

yeah, there are plenty of political blogs and message boards...we are here to talk about poker not politics...i would love to hear about your approach to implied pot odds...but i dont give a damn what you think about anything else...keep it poker related

dude, your not impressing anyone with your rambling on and on about your mid level mediocrity. oooohhhh the bodog 10k, wow, can i have your autograph? You think the real pro's dont call each other up and ask for advice on specific hands? you are destined for the slot machines. Give up now and go get a quarter bucket. You obviously are not willing to learn and grow enough to every reach the next level. Don't criticize those who actually have the cojones to admit that they need help and are willing to grow as poker players.as for the slow played aces, maybe you should have taken the advice of st

Neteller will most likely give you a Neteller debit card if you qualify for an account...all you have to do is ask for one on their site and it will be in your hands a week later...you can also use western union transfers for a lot of sites. I have used western union transfers to put money in my Poker Stars account several times and it has been an easy and smooth process...though the WU fee is kind of a drag...it is nice cuz you can send cash that way. All in all, i'd say Neteller is the way to go. Most sites will take cashiers checks/money orders as well, but that will take at least a week to
