oreogod 0 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Maybe you've heard of him, hes a pretty respected 2+2er...anyway this a complete collection of his week to week posts on playing online poker for a living (well for his first 52 weeks). Im making my way through it and I have to say...its quite entertaining and enlightening to read. So a poker player, detailing week to week over a year, downswings and all...not to mention comments and strat replys by other good posters makes for some good stuff.Here goes.http://www.billrini.com/index.php/2004/05/...-first-52-weeksAnd no, I dont know who Bill is, or anything about his blog, but he sure has some nice links set up.

Suited_Up 2 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Great link.I am only through 3 weeks, but I gotta sleep now. Will read more later, it's good stuff so far.I just wished I could relate some of this to my 1/2 losing ass! Maybe it's game selection though, I have been bouncing around doing bonuses, and not playing the most profitable sites lately. I absolutely can't beat PowerPlayer limit games, and UB are up and down so far. I think I will do one more bonus at Paradise and then I'm gonna set up shop at Empire w/ Rakeback to try and really get things going.Sorry I'm just thinking out loud in this thread which really doesn't have anything to do with it. But things haven't been going too well w/ the limit lately. And I feel like i'm playing well. Who knows? Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe I suck, I don't know.Yeah, I'm not really sure now.I know I don't play as aggressive as wrto, but I just don't think I can play that way at 1/2. I'll be throwing money away, because figuring out logical hands of my opponents is just pointless. There is no logic. Link to post Share on other sites

Mattnxtc 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 not to jinx myself which im sure i will..but im actually on a small upswing...posted 5 straight winning days...granted some days were 6bb days so its not like im killing anything...Three tabling is a little intense for me at times especially when my mouse sucks...but its the only way to clear any sort of bonuses at .5/1 right now...should be up around 450 and inching closer to 1/2 by the end of the week though Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be throwing money away, because figuring out logical hands of my opponents is just pointless. There is no logic.I'm getting frustrated myself. I'm a consistent winner at $1/$2 on Stars (I really should get PT...I'd hazard a guess that I pull in over 2 bb/100 there), and a consistent break-even player at Party (I'm up $25 + bonuses after about 30 hours total ). You'd think it would be the other way around, given the relative donkey population at each site. Maybe my relative comfort level with the two interfaces effects my play? I really do prefer Stars interface to the bad Tronimation at Party.Of course, I prefer the weekend $5/$10 game at the Halifax Casino to any internet site. 6-8 people on almost every flop, raised or unraised! It's heaven, I tells ya. I've got to attend more often. Link to post Share on other sites
