Doing well and hoping you are doing the same.

Just wanted to say Thanks again for the informative Olympic and Soccer posts earlier.
Made my trip to Florida more enjoyable following your selections.

Take care.

uh,this Soccer forum was lumped under the other sports
label when i first came here many eons ago.
through the tireless efforts of duckstabber,
chriscol,a.greenland & moi,they created one.

as for jw,if he is going to keep a record
it should be one that is honest and detailed.
that doesn't just mean w-l,but also reflects unitswon. Otherwise someone can just select heavy favs and build a nice w/l while still being down units. this is a favourite tactic of
some on here, amongst other creative accounting
tricks.
So i'm keeping jw/donnay's record in line.

But to be honest, it's just for giggles.you
see, justwin has been here before,and surely
appreciates the irony.Under another posting
nic, jw was the biggest ballbuster here.

Also,if someone posts a pick,shouldn't they
offer a little reasoning as to why???
you know, some rationale that the bookies price
is a bit off.Or at least a good story.I'm
a sucker for a nice,comforting bedtime lullaby.

I for one am glad to have Maria back in business!

Maria, you play poker online, right? May I ask where? And what is your name there? I'm fairly new to online poker so I'm just trying out a few places to start with. (Paradise, Pokerroom, Pacific, Bet365 so far) My name is, of course, Duckstabber :)

i'm really paranoid,but i do heartily recommend
Party Poker.many bad players there. Poker
Stars has the nicest interface. you can
also play for pennies there.but better players
by far the best info board on the net is
twoplustwo
you can learn heaps from reading the info
there. Did you buy any books??

i see you have pacific listed.supposedly
some bad players there.you might want
to concentrate your action on pacific.
Paradise probably has the best players of the
sites you listed.

I guess Maria you just need a Life!

I guess thats why I handle most of my activity elsewhere.

Would love to share more information, but just not worth the time.

Not all of us have the time to spend offering analysis and reasoning. Would love to spend my day in front of the cpu and give my logic. Fortunately I have a successful job and super family and use most of my quality time there.

I do when I am able and I am sure others do, but this site is to offer information, selections, assistance and all around conversation.

You obviously get to know the "good" and "bad" on this site and others.

As far as value to the site, Quantum Leap said it best.

Good Luck!

let's see i average 2.22 posts a day since
i started here,and you msg average 1.76 posts
a day. about 1/2 post a day diff.you have
loads more time eh?? plus,whenever i read
or post here, i'm multi-tabling at the poker
tables simultaneously(sp?).

So if Justwin flips a coin,or cribs picks
from elsewhere that would be ok??
whatever

Maria,

I've read only 2 books: "Winning Low Limit Hold'em" by Lee Jones and "Small Stakes Hold'em" by Sklansky, Malmuth and Miller. Great books, especially the latter. Can you recommend any other books?

The Pacific players are indeed weak/loose but the number of maniacs is large and the software is quite crappy. No decent stats function, hand histories etc. I might try Party sometime.

So far I only play Hold'em at the $0.5/$1 limit tables - I don't want to get my arse handed to me at the higher stakes tables :) What about you?

mostly $5/10 at party.i'm going to vegas/la soon
and put in some brick&mortar sessions.so i'll
be off the i-net awhile.
i haven't picked up the small stakes hold em' by
miller. sure i will at some point.
here's some others.
try internettexasholdem
by matthew hilger. this a great comprehensive starter book.
there's a forum there as well.

holdem poker by david sklansky--i'm not sure you will
need this one if you have the small stakes book.

after you go through those two move on to:
hold em for advanced players by david sklansky.
theory of poker by david sklansky
tournament poker (forget exact title)by david sklansky

in addition to those, stuff by bob ciaffone like
Middle limit poker, no limit/pot limit is good.
also try Roy Cooke's book.again the exact title
"Real Poker" or Real Hands" or something like that.
a search over at 2+2 will give you more informed
opinions on the latter 2 authors.
you should give the pokerstars interface
a try.tighter players,but sometimes thats
a nice change of pace from the loose goosey
players.
