hii a_ooiioo_a, Could you let me know where and when and under what handle you are playing(for real money). I'd like to sit on the rail and observe whether your style of play can consistently beat a real money game. kempo

I stated the wrong title for the best beginners book on hold'em in an earlier post. It is Winning Low-Limit Hold'em by Lee Jones. Below is a link to the book on Amazon. Plus the book was mentioned earlier in this thread...

Ron; Those are excellent points that you made and I won't argue them. Higher stakes poker tables definitely move quickly away from the black and white rules of the low limit games. I'm curious about 21---Do you find that the counting advantage holds with multiple deck shuffles? And how...

I play the 2/4 tables @ pokerparadise. When I go up to the 3/6 tables, I don't do nearly as well. You can argue that is because there are more better players at this level or this is where the collusion starts. However, this weekend I'll be making an infrequent visit to Atlantic City. I'll...

The term in the poker world for someone playing as you describe is "maniac". You will create a highly active table and as the good players get cards they will pick you off. They won't be in against you unless they have good odds of having the best hand. And if there are 2 or 3 callers as...

Another poker fanatic is born! I like your observations about trading being good training for poker. BEWARE, however, thinking that it is easy. As you move up to higher stakes tables, the competition gets tougher and tougher. Everyone for the most part is now playing good basic...

IMHO, blackjack is not quite as analogous to trading as is poker. In 21, the player must "trade" every hand, there is no choice to enter or not. In poker, almost every hand let's you decide if you have an entry signal. The exception being the blinds. In 21, once your bet is on the table...

Banker, I have made 3 withdrawals(requested check) took about a week to arrive. My handle is also the same as here, kempo. I was thinking of playing for a while. I'll look for you @ the .50/1.00 tables. Good Luck! kempo

Another interesting area of hold'em is tournament play. An entry fee is paid and 1st -whatever place gets money. How it relates to trading, I think, is that there is a time factor involved. As the tournamnet progresses the table stakes increase. There are various strategies on how to play...

I just request a check when I take money out. It takes about a week. I don't really care because it's just fool around money. If the deposit to your account was from a visa card, you can get a credit up to the amount of your deposit. Otherwise you need to request a check or use Neteller or...

easyrider; You pick your own table. There are statistics shown for each table, such as, %players/flop, avg pot size and hands/hr. so, you can base your decisions on that. Also, you can keep notes on individual players and base table seating on that as well. As far as the ability to...

I have been a holdem player since 1994. Much longer than I have been trading. I agree with the similarities and the practice that poker can provide for the trader(beginner or experienced). In holdem you are going to get a new hand every 1-3 minutes. Thus, a very quick way to practice...

Try posting @ the users group; http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linnsoft/ When I started using IRT(when ravenquote closed shop), I had to change to small fonts as well. After a short time, I started to like small fonts:) I don't find the program buggy at all. The only feature that i...

Has anyone ever noticed that the open price on the daily bar is often different from the open price on the first intraday bar(any time frame)? For example- using QQQ: 8/22/02- Daily Open=25.94 Intraday Open=25.74 8/26/02- Daily Open=25.32 Intraday...

I play poker against other losers from around the world (real or play money); www.paradisepoker.com kempo

About this time last year, when I was a brand new trader, I stumbled on to Don Miller. He had just left undergroundtrader.com and was starting a mentorship program, for which I signed on. There were 8 people in the program and I learned an incredible amount of information, that I may or may...

Don't get me wrong....The show is well organized, there was a fairly wide array of vendors and the show is worth attending. If you're searching for a new trading methodology, new ideas or a broker, it's well worth the trip. However, last year when I was a brand new trader and learning the...

thanks!- good stuff

Hello; Does anyone know where to find fairly thorough info on 3PB? Does anybody have any experience that they would care to relate as well? Thanks, kempo

I will 100% be able to attend all in NY. Awesome! kempo
