LET'S TALK ONLINE POKER

As most of you guys know I'm a pretty big fan of online poker. I've been playing online for over 2 years and have consistently won at lower stakes online poker. I'm going to start giving a report of my weekly win or loss rate. We'll see how I do between now and the Vegas Trip as I plan on taking a large portion of my bankroll with me to play at the live tables.

My second favorite site: FullTilt Read the Review


I played very little online poker this week. Other than the FreeRoll we played on Sunday I probably played less than 2 hours overall and probably ended up exactly even. Winning a little bit playing $50 buyin NL at Bodog and loosing a little bit playing $50 buyin at FullTilt.

I bubbled out of our online tourney on Sunday but had excellent practice playing a short stack. About 6 hands in I was down to 180 chips and was short stack tourney wide by FAR. We start with 1500 chips and we really had just started. Hopefully I won't need this experience in the WSOP event on the 4th but if so then this might turn out to be a timely lesson. I ended up finishing 4th and had a legitimate chance of winning.

Well, unless I try one tonight I'm not going to win a Bracelet Races tourney at FullTilt. These are $24+2 buyins with around 100-150 people and the with the winner gets a $2000 package to go play in one of the smaller events at the WSOP, and if enough players sign up the top 2 players get the $2000 package.

I only played in 2 so I guess I shouldn't be that suprised, heh. By the way, FullTilt's new design is very very slick.

Noble does have a very cool promotion going right now. If you are a Sit-N-Go fan they've got a table called 'Maui' that has a sit-n-go bonus attached to it. It's only a $5.00 +.50 tourney and if you are good enough to win 5 times in a row, they throw in a bonus of $15,000! Check their Terms and Conditions as they will disqualify you if they think you're colluding or see soft play.

Check out Bodog's tournament schedule and just look for the tournaments that have a Guaranteed Prize Pool... these nearly always have overlay! they've got eight guaranteed tourneys.
