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.

My Favorite Site: Bodog Poker Read my Review
My second favorite site: FullTilt Read my Review
Bodog is THE #1 poker room for poker tournaments with Overlay.
Bodog's tournament schedule

I played a little 1/2 shorthand at Empire for an overall loss, although I had a few modest winning sessions. Many times I will have built my $50 buyin to over $65 in a 1/2 limit ring game only to lose it down to $53 or $54 bucks before getting up with my modest profit.

I took some very bad beats with players hitting longshot draws against me numerous times but I know that I'll go through swings like that.

I played some NL Ring at at Bodog and also lost a little bit. No Limit is a different animal than limit in my opinion. You have to get paid when you make a big hand and avoid paying off other players with 2nd best hands.

I can't complain though, because the time before I made a huge chunk of profit 1 hand where I flopped a set, turned a boat and then checked the river because I thought my opponent was on a Flush Draw and missed.

Here is how it went down. I hold TT and make a 3-4x raise pre-flop with 2 callers. I flop my set with two clubs on the board and I make a slightly less than half pot sized bet to see what i'm up against. I get 1 caller.

The turn pairs the board and I hit a boat. I make another moderate bet and am quickly called. I'm assuming this guy is on a flush draw but I'm not sure. The river is a blank and I decide to check it.

Now, I check here for a couple of reasons. If he was on a flush draw, he missed and he isn't going to call any real bet from me. Since I put him on the flush draw I thought I would give him the opportunity to bluff at the pot.

He might think I'm betting my flush draw and I've missed, or he might think that my check on the river seems weak and might make a bet at the pot.

So I check and he bets out about $25, which is half of his remaining stack. I push all in and get called. GG, thank you for the money!
