Now poker players have their own credit card. You have to have good credit, so I guess it's for the really successful poker players!

This is for the more advanced:If you have Windows XP at home and a broadband connection, setup remote desktop on your home PC (You'll probably have to configure your router to forward the appropriate port to your home PC). Then from work you can access your home computer and play Poker or whatever. There is no way for your work to know what you are doing over that connection, because there are no websites, software, or anything to track.

after 2 years of lurking, I can finally contribute.

Play the $10 pot limit sng at Party. Don't get involved in any big pots the first couple of rounds unless you have the goods. If you play good cards and fold a lot, you always end in the money. I've turned $50 into $600 over the past couple of months. You will get lots of bad beats, but if you play conservative, you'll end in the money more often than not.

Not that it counts, I just went heads up with a guy in a sng on PP where we both had pocket AA. Ended up chopping. 3 hands later he got AA again and lost to a straight. Now that's bad luck.E

I was up there a few weeks ago and played 4-8 at Balley's. I couldn't lose. Everyone was drunk and didn't have a clue that chasing a gut shot straight draw after a 3 bet was a bad idea! Even my wife who has never played before won at the $2/4 table.

Hahahah...I just got my pocket aces cracked by K9 off suit. He boated me (999KK). Behold the power.

Unless you are a a table of 5 of them and they keep hitting and hitting and hitting.

I'll probably move up to 6/12 just to see what it's like for a few sessions. I was talking to a guy the other day who plays both and says 6/12 you have less people being calling stations to the river, which is what kills me most. Obviously, mistakes are going to be that much more costly. Case in point: I was playing 4/8 yesterday, my table image is pretty tight. In the few hours of play, I have only raised with bullets twice, pocket tens, and A/K (all in good position). I raise with A/10 suited on the button, sb comes in, and OTG. Flop is A, 8 2 rainbow. Checks to me, I raise, SB calls

My original question was just about play as you go up in the limits, I don't care about the long haul or odds.Thanks for the comments.

I actually do very well at 4/8. I typically lose my winnings though to very very bad hands and it seems to happen more and more because most of the other players will play anything suited regardless of position or raises. Yes over the long haul they will lose money, but for the short haul, they are winning my money.

I play 4/8 hold em (and I'm guilty of playing 3/6 as well). Consistently I'm getting beat by terrible players who play anything suited. I have no problem getting beat by someone who goes in with a weak hand, but if every flop regardless of any raising has a couple of these players, they just seem bound to bust me.This question isn't about my leaks (so please don't say if I lose at 4/8, I'm going to lose at 6/12), but does play get a little tighter at 6/12? I'm tired of losing to people who really don't understand poker, but come to the casino to have some fun and play a LOT of hands. I wan
