Strider, if you cannot beat Party or Stars, then you need to re-tool your game. Those are the biggest Fishtanks online IMHO. I have played probably 40-50 sites with "House" money for the last two years. My original deposit was $100 with a Visa at Paradise and I've not made a deposit since. On the average, I withdraw about $50 per month as a Micro Player.
Post some of your hands here and you will get some helpful feedback. It is the best way to dissect your game.
I recommend playing TAG (Tight Aggressive), because if you start with stronger hands, your probablility of winning goes up. It takes some patience, but it's worth it.
Second, it's important to know how to play post-flop. If a flop is in your favor, start betting to see how your opponents react. If you have a drawing hand, do you understand how to estimate your odds?
Third, are you walking away a winner or do you stay too long and lose it back. Money management is the most important aspect of a winning gambler.
Lastly, about 40-50% of my profit had come from clearing bonuses. You have probably missed out on the "Best Times" of Bonus Whoring, but I usually play the Micros, then switch to Low Limit to clear the Bonuses. Usually by playing two tables at a time.  |
