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 spent the week out in Vegas so I didn't play hardly any online poker at all really. I did play in the 10k Guaranteed tourney at Bodog because it had around a 20% overlay. I honestly don't even remember how I busted out, but it was early and an unimpressive showing. It kind of fades when Phil Hellmuth sits down on your left in the WSOP ;)

One thing playing in the $1500 event at the WSOP has done has increased my drive to improve my game. I'm going to work on my technical game in Multi-Table tournaments online and work on my live game at our Local APC tournaments.

I might even try a couple of the 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, just like the one we played in. In the NL events they are drawing enough players to give the top 2 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 Poker (read the review) 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.
