minttrav that was brilliant, made me see it from the other side, im not writing it as a bad beat(they happen quite a lot live or online) but i know that there is a lot more variance in online as you get to see more hands per hour and maybe that is the reason im no good online at the moment, just need more practise and understand that online is a different game to live and i need to adjust.

also why is it that the river card is usually dealt after a ten second pause when you are all in, it can be annoying(especially as it is the killer one out card).

i know i was having a shoot and not playing within  "bankroll managment" but i thought 5/10c would be a good starting ground to see what to expect

No it is the opposite DUCY?

Anyway that has never happened to me, must suck.

The trouble with having an open mind, is that, someone will come along and insist on putting something in it

what about Mike Matasow, he has a real reason to be annyoed with online poker. he has never been fully refunded for when he was playing against the super users on U.B.
He actually said to his mum at the time before the scandal became noticed. "its like they can see my hole cards"

He reckons they ripped him about 1.2 million dollars.

I can honestly say that i have never seen anyone run as good as tony does in the Talbot. in contrast watch me tonight, but maybe i think im due a bit of luck.

Just make sure you bring your bad luck with you when we play our 50,000 chip deepstack on the 29/11.

Even you should last more than your usual 2 hour sitting with the blinds at 25/50  ;) ;D

Me too! I"ll give you a full list of all my online aliases if you fancy a game ;D. In all seriousness, if you want to increase your profitably, worry less about executing big bluffs, play more solid,boring positional poker and you may be surprised to find you have less hands to complain about.  

As for playing live versus online, some of us haven"t got a choice, the computer is the only option. How many live venues within 50 miles run regular deepstack tournies? Exactly, a big fat zero. I"m even being forced on a 4.5 hour trip somewhere oop north in a couple of weeks just for a bit of real poker action.

will txt u both. the reason i dont enjoy playing online is that i find it boring and have the attention span of a goldfish. when im playing live there is a usually a conversation about some general bullcrap and i find it stimulates my brain(if there is no conversation then i usually start one unless someone is in the thinktank then silence is golden) but online it feels like a computer game, i have had gta4 for about a year and only completed 4% of it, point example. i find it hard to describe what it is but i cant concentrate half as much when staring at a computer screen, maybe create a game where i could predict the age of the player or guess which room they are playing on their computer/laptop, that makes sense to me. i play poker subconciously as in i can talk while tanking about a decision unlike most.

btw, i only bluff when its correct to according to sklanksy theory of poker.

norwich poker club do some reasonably deep tourneys for quite good buyins simon, only 5-10 mins from yours surely and the cash game is ssssoooooooo juicy, worth a look. shame i have moved in with the girlfriend (bugger)
