Believe it or not, I have actually attempted to never say this, though essentially it was what I tried to do this month. I try not to say it because it is extremely cliche and it is annoying when it comes from a low limit grinder. I know this has been done to death so if you don't want to hear another slant on it stop reading now. Disclaimer: I would never attempt to follow up on AJK's article but it got me thinking. I will start with some background info. I was having a decent amount of success playing MTTs and MTT SNGs at Full Tilt playing here and there. Basically, playing part time I was making more than I was at work while also having more fun than I was at work: imagine that. In December I had a good month, enough to take care of all of my living expenses for January and still have the roll to play the games I was beating, so I decided to take the plunge. I talked it over with my wife, who was only slightly skeptical, and called my family, for whom I worked in a ...

“Admissions to Myself” “Hello.” I say. “Hello” says the group. “My name is Hinderantz and I am a losing online poker player.” And in one split second I came to a realization that has taken me years to say, that I am a losing poker player. It is something that I suppose I have known for awhile, but would never admit to. I am sure many of you reading this are in the exact same boat I was in. Many of you are currently in denial. Maybe this article will serve some purpose, and you will look in the mirror and realize the same thing. I can tell you how I saw my poker career, and I bet a lot of it will sound familiar to what you tell yourselves. I always thought that I knew exactly what I was doing. I thought I could outplay anyone. I thought I could make it big. Sure I had made a few deposits online, only to play outside my BR and lose it all, but I knew that this next deposit was going to be the one. Oops……..use echeck ...

I have been cahsing in almost every MTT I play but never seem to make the big cash! I have made a few final tables in the past 2 months but never have enough chips to make a top 2-4 finish. My question is do you change your style up to be more aggressive once reaching the money and "Go for it"?? I usually seem to finsh 20-80th in MTT's and just cant figure out what im doing wrong once mid way through making the money. The blinds seem to get so big and with other players being allin happy this late do you just have to pick a hand and go with it? Ill wait for advice thanks

Internet poker players have a lot to cope with these days. First, there is the battle against the omnipresent cheating scams. Then, there is the US government’s current assault on online gaming in general via the ban on money transfers. If those things aren’t enough to chill you from playing poker online, let’s take a look at the terms under which players must agree to play! If you are like most people, when the terms and conditions (T&C) for a software product come up on your computer screen, you just click on whatever version of “yes” they present to you and move on. For online poker players, it is no different. After a few conversations and interactions with other players online, it occurred to me that most people have very little idea just how much authority they grant to the gaming sites at which they play and place their money. The typical T&C that poker players sign up to are outrageously one-sided and unfair in my opinion. We would never ...
