mtdoak Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 If you are just going to play casually, there's alot of good sites to play at, I'd stick with the big ones (Party, Pstars, Paradise), because there's alot of shady ones popping up. IF your going to be a serious, Pstars for Tourneys, and Party Poker for cash games. I play about 15-20 hrs a week, 4 tables at a time @ 5/10 6 max. If you see me (midgetbowler), I advise you strongly to go to a different table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you only play 6 max tourneys? Not much profit margin, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much profit margin, is there? 603901[/snapback] I play 6 max cash games, not tourneys. The basic reason for 6 max is that you get more hands/hr and the tables usually have worse players, more of the "action" junkies. I don't usually touch anything outside of party as I have a 20% rakeback deal (i.e. i get 20% of my rake back), which adds up when you play as much as I do. Also, its not that i'm "that good", its that the competition is "that bad" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a real strong tourney player, but I've gotten to the point with sit downs where I can almost rely on it as a secondary profit center. I definitely need to be willing to be a scrapper sometimes, but it's pretty rare anymore that I don't finish in the money. I still can't believe that I can sit here at my computer and pull cash off the internet, and then have it sent right to my bank account. Safe to assume you're in the black month after month?

mtdoak Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 What exactly is a rakeback and how does it work? 604357[/snapback] Its probably not signifigant for the casual player. What happens is, in order to get players to play at their site, specifically, high volume players, many sites offer "rakeback", which is a % back of all the rake you pay. Some sites don't offically support it (such as Party Poker), but you can usually find an affiliate who is willing to give you some of your rake back in exchange for singing up with them. Some sites flat out don't offer it (Poker Stars) and others will use rakeback as their main lure (Absolute poker). For example, last month, I played around 50 hrs, I made 750, which is roughly $15/hr. I moved up limits this month, so I expect to make more/hr. I get this playing 4 tables at a time and at shorthanded tables, which mean more hands/hr, which mean more rake paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look and feel. I hate bodog, somehow I seem to call when i want to fold, it has something to do with the way the layout changes when it isn't your turn to when it is. I like PP but been cold there recently. The one thing I'm not sure about is the bonus structure on FCP. I'll have to look into that further.
