It'd be nice if it were easier to transfer from site to site, so I could treat all bankrolls as one.

Almost all of my monies are on Stars, with small amounts on Tilt and Party. So I play overrolled overall on Tilt and Party, but severely underrolled if you only consider the money on those sites alone. On top of which I have some US$ in an account from cash outs but I can't figure out a way to put those monies directly into a site since they assume that I'm paying in Canadian funds.

^^^^ how about transferring the small amounts, NL?

My brother has got the swine flue :S.
Now im scared im gonna get it to .

The small amounts are there intentionally, like Tilt so I can play CC things there, and both so that I can play different sites and see how they compare.

I'm not complaining about the small bankroll existence, just the cramped situation I put myself in, of my own choosing.

I kinda looked at these at one point, but it seemed not to worthwhile for small amounts and/or frequent transfers. And for some reason I think Canadians don't have as many options as the UK or the rest of the world. But more sites the US, so I can't complain.

I've decided to switch to limit, i think the major problem, and one which is going to take a lot of time and effort to iron out, with my NL game is going on monkey tilt when i lose a big pot, i'm good at making small decisions but suck at making the big ones, which ultimately are the ones which hurt the most. I know its flawed as pokers about the long run and all that but i just think i need to limit my losses while i sort out this aspect of my game.

Plus, i am never going to have the balls to 5 bet shove on a bluff, some of the hands that belgo and c9 put up scare the shit out of me lol

Does anyone else play 6 max Limit here??

I'm currently playing the .10/.20 games on FT with my $65 BR, any help or advice would be appreciated.

I figured that my tendancy to go crazy after losing a big pot would have to be solved by either playing SNG's, MTT's or Limit Cash. Imo, sng's amount to shove fests at the end and the edge at higher games can be miniscule b/c of people playing perfect ICM, Mtt's i just cant fit into my life, which sucks as i started off playing them many years ago and had a few 4 figure live wins. So limit cash games it is!

 

[switch0723]

How do people who squeeze 9% at full ring, wake up with aces when i backraise queens 6 handed semi deep,

 

[eNTy]

because everyone gets aces some times ?

Well you're awhile away from playing levels where sng edge is limited by good ICM players, so might be good choice for now. If limit holdem isn't tilt inducing I don't know wtf is...maybe try some non holdem games also?

Hating poker right about now.....seems like variance built up over my nice run and decided to make a permanent appearance for now....FML

I'm loving the .5/1 FLHE on tilt (just look at my pokertableratings ) and I can't see the .1/.2 games being any tougher. Play a session or two and pm me them and I'll take a look. Or go on AIM, I'm NorthemWarriorIX

very new to cash, thats why Im starting to play at the lowest limit possible, just to get a feel for it.

This guy had been raising my big blind for about 5 hands before, I was just waiting for him to do it when i had a hand, as his tendency was to bet the flop each time. It worked nicely.

also, Im 4-tabling at the mo(I normally 2-table sngs/mtts) and I know you all say dont think of the money, just play your optimal game, but what if you do that, but end up down a bit on a couple of tables, but up a lot overall, like this session, 2 tables slightly down, but 2 up for a 2 buy-in profit. Do you look at the total, or analyse each table. I know this sounds a dumb question when Im only playing 2nl, knowing most of you are at 50nl and above, but like I say im just starting out, and wanna get it right from the start.
Thanks.

Here's the thread if you want to discuss playing the micro limits https://www.cardschat.com/forum/learning-poker-57/august-micro-thread-157848-new/

Nevermind being up or down at a table, even a session, wait for a sample of thousands of hands (more really) before even starting to look at results...good to review specific plays from a session though.

Don't really worry about either the total or each table. Look at each hand and determine if you played them right. If you do that everything else will take care of itself.
