What do you mean a by competetor asking your questions? I'm not trying to compete against you, but... yeah, I have a UPF banner on the page. But that's only because I frequent there quite a bit. A lot of the players from that site go here too, and I think this site has gained users from UPF even though there are some people who refuse to believe it.

Anyways, I assumed you disapprove of my modest deposit, 300 BB style and playing micro limits, otherwise you would of said "cool!" I know that it's real difficult to make any money at such small limits, and that Pacific is very limited as in the number of tables you can play. But I should tell you that I have made over 35 dollars from the .05/.10 tables playing a Tight Aggressive style. My BB/hour rate is around 4... and I have been able to survive several losing sessions with my bankroll rule.

You should come up to Duluth one of these days and play in the B&M tournaments at Black Bear. Hell, I'll invite you to my home NL poker tournament we have every week. It's small stakes, so I'm sure you wouldn't be impressed, but they're fun.

Anyways, I believe that learning limit poker, at a bankroll you can afford is key to becomming a good player. You wouldn't believe how tight some of these micro limit tables are... Sure enough, you got some big roller with 50 bucks that'll throw money around like it's toliet paper hoping for a flush, but for the most part, .05/.10 is pretty damn hard. I imagine that if I can learn to read the players at this level, it'll help me read the players at the 5/10 limit tables you probably frequent. Wouldn't you agree? Anyways, thanks for taking a look at my site. It's not affilated with UPF in any way, other then that I frequent the UPF board often enough to kindly decide from the gift of my heart, to bless them with a banner on my page. Perhaps livepokerforum will get a banner too... but we'll see.

You have your own site, so therefor you are a competitor. But, that's ok, I just don't want to search all over the place to see the information about which you're asking a question.

I do not dissaprove, because I still have not seen exactly what it was that you were asking a question about.

Usually, I don't know how to find things, on a site.

I'm so happy with BTP, that I don't even like to LOOK at another site, unless it's MY own, which only exists in my dreams.

So, if you wish a certified ATE response to your question, please ask said question in my own section, with the information contained therein.

Who even knows where Duluth is? ATE does not have a car, but if you wanna pick me up AND drive me back, I suppose I could play.

But then, you would not want me to.

I am the world's most obnoxious person, when playing.


Take Matusow, Hellmuth, Laak, Arieh, and the next ten most irratating players, put THEM ALL TOGETHER, and I'm 100 times more irratating than the sum total of all 14 people PUT TOGETHER.

Yet, my schtick is also VERY funny, well-written and scripted.

Somehow though, If I came to your game, ATE no think he leave Wisconsin ALIVE.

I'm new to this site and the more I read through old posts the more I like this site. Bankroll was never an issue for me because if I lost my buy in i'd just buy in for more. I always kept small amounts on various sites and if I won large I'd cash it out. To be honest for the longest time I had no clue where I stood. About a week ago I started keeping a blog (pokeradventures.blog.ca) and cashed every site out except trident poker which stood at $45.00. I started at the .05/.1 tables (which I had never played because anything under $1/2 didn't seem like real money to me) with the goal of seeing how I could progress this money. I moved up to .1/.2 after I doubled up. I'm going to keep the 4.5 buy in rule tho it will probably increase as I move up in levels. I also got poker tracker and am actually keeping track of things. I'm not sure where it's going to go but I actually KNOW how I play and if i'm winning and how much i'm winning. While it looks like this site doesn't have large amounts of posts but the quality of the posts is great.

The more I seem to learn about this game the more I want to learn.

Thanks everyone but I feel my MTT play is improving greatly thanx to Kowboys articles on it
I did say no to drugs..... They just didn't listen
