Online Playing
I don't normally post about online play because I would much rather play live than online. I love the physical aspects of the casino. The smell, being able to see the people, talking(sometimes trash), the feel of the cards, etc. You just are able to get so much more information live than looking at a computer screen. Plus there is still that back of the mind thought that the internet cardrooms somehow are not fair, it might be the software or just the collusion that is possible in these games. That being said I played online yesterday because I did not have the time to go down to the Casino last night.
I never put much money into a site. I usually start with $200 and try to work it up to the higher levels. Sometimes stepping up and taking shots, sometimes running it up and cashing out. Right now I am in the run up mode at UB, I think I will leave it there and take some shots at the bigger games. I went from the 5/10 shorthanded games to the 10/20 games yesterday, all limit. I started at one table because my bankroll was only $800 at the start of the day, which is not enough to two table and take the swing. I ran that up to $1200, then cashed out and started to two table. I don't like to do more than two because I feel I can not concentrate after that. I am super impressed with guys that can do 4,6, heck I know a guy playing 12 at once on Party and won $70,000 last month. How the hell do you do 12 and win? That is just incredible. I keep thinking he will lose but he never does. How is that possible? So I move to two games. I have not played in a while online, it is amazing how bad some of the players are online now. Even as you step up into the bigger games online the play has not gotten any better. You can run bad shorthanded and lose all your money fast getting chased by the fish that call everything, but if you can just run average you can't lose. I would imagine that the play will start getting better as I move up to the 15/30 or 30/60 game. We will see. That said I ran my account at UB up to $2450 yesterday from $800. On to the 15/30 short game.
By the way my screen name online is Seattlejohn, pretty original huh? My party name is SJ_tilt, but I hardly play there, I can't stand to look at the graphics of that site. It looks like I am playing on an old Atari video game. Lastly, Aaron got bounced from the main event at the Mirage at the end of the first day. Really bad month for him. Hope he does better at the WSOP. He won the first limit event last year and I was there to see the final table, hope for a repeat and bracelet number 2. Talk to you soon...SJ
