$27 in 5 hours is lucrative? Now that I think about it, that's almost minimum wage. That is sad. People should just play online poker instead of working in fast food.
huh? That was just a Sit and Go, about 20-25 minutes. I play 4-6 cash tables at a time and S&G's to pass the time if the cash games are slow.
I just misunderstood. For some reason I thought you'd been playing for 5 hours to make that $27. The comment about that being sad was me realizing just how little money minimum wage is.

Really bad week thus far. I'm running deep in a tourney right now though, so we'll see.

Don't tell anyone, but I'm on tilt right now. Breaking a bankroll rule right now.

ICE, what's you name and where do you play?

I finished 13th in a tourney overnight. Nothing worse than bubbling a final table (especially one that could drastically alter your bankroll).

Longhorn, ICE, and any other poker fanatics, I'm playing in a tournament tonight. What mistakes do you see novices make?

Mix up your betting so they can't get a feel for what you're doing? That's about all I know.

Oh, and pay attention. That one, too.

It's OK to fold pocket aces and kings after the flop. Don't chase draws unless it's cheap or you're getting really good pot odds. Play premium hands in a tourney.
