    its tough for a lot of people to quit, you could try playing nothing but 1$ tournaments. it might be hard but once you get into the game i usually dont really think about how much money im playing for, i just try to play the right hands and try to learn how the other people at the table play their cards.

    A Swedish buddy of mine out here plays online poker all the time. Dude comes to my bar like 3 days a week and sits there on his laptop for about 6-8 hours just playing game after game. He wins a LOT. He lived in Vegas for a year as a professional poker player, taking advantage of dumb tourists. He played in some big time tournament and won, defeating a former world champ. I guess he's just got a formula and he sticks to it.

    Tiger how are you still betting if you're in the states? All the services I use no longer accept bets from American betters cause of the new law.

    Doesn't matter, the style of playing is apparent regardless if you can see them or not. Anyone who says you need to "read the tells" has been watching too much Rounders...

    i had my wife put a net nanny.....i cant go to porn sites....it was tuff for awhile, but now i hang out here instead of looking at FREE porn sites. i also feel alot better about myself.....but if the nanny was removed, i prob would go back.....an addiction is an addiction i guess.

    I have lost 200 - 300 dollars on online poker. I have won and then I continued to play and lost. I think that itīs funnier to play with friends and not play with much money. Some guys are lucky and good at playing poker and wins over 100,000 dollars.


    Sorry for bumping an old thread. I donīt know whatīs best; to write in an old thread or start a new thread.

    Yeah i made an intial deposit of $100 and got it up to $2,000 in a few days and lost it all back in 2. You can be sucessful if you have good money management skills and the ability to stop when you know you need to. I just play and play and play till its all gone.

    Tiger, doyou have paypal and neteller? Because I need somebody who has neteller to cash out my funds and i transfer to my paypal account, I will tip ya. PM ME if you can help out
