    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    Four tables of 2/4 should be a little more profitable than two 3/6's, as you'd expect from the numbers. You lose a little off your game from the extra tables, but the 2/4 game is also easier to beat. When I first started, I played one table for a while, and yes it gets boring. I was playing...

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    Never played on Full Tilt. I only play on Empire right now, which is a "skin" of Party, for those who didn't know (same players and tables for the most part, just a different name on the software). It's easy to think this during a downswing, just like it's easy to think the Market Makers...

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    I was never very successful with trading. After my laughable early attempts at "investing", once I discovered the idea of short term trading for a living, I was very attracted to it. But I was always hindered by the lack of a decent bankroll and needing to have a full time job during normal...

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    1) Was it 60+12, or of the 60, only 48 went to prize fund? Did they rake the rebuys too? Sounds a bit high but maybe their expenses were high too. 2) Whenever the per chip cost of the add on is so low compared to the what it is at the buy in, definitely. Maybe not if you already have such...

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    Both of them called. Too bad I lost them when a 9 of Spades came on the turn. Anyway, here is an excerpt of some stuff I posted on Hitman's board: "One good thing about this thread is that it got me into online poker. I started exactly 10 months ago, with $300. I started at the lowest...

    Samsung 191T or 191T + TFT ??????

    I guess my answer wasn't good enough? 191T 500:1 Contrast Ratio (I stand corrected) 191T+: 750:1 Contrast Ratio

    Samsung 191T or 191T + TFT ??????

    I've got a pair of 191T+'s. I sometimes play Unreal Tournament 2003 and the ghosting is almost not noticable. (you can see a little if you really look for it, but it doesnt affect the play in my opinion). The + model is supposed to have a higher contrast ratio, 750:1 vs 400:1 or something...

    Holy Grail?

    What happens when the spheres collide? A crash? :cool: Not to take this stuff to seriously, but it's a classic sign of a crackpot when someone thinks they have a brilliant idea, but want others to supply all of the money, expertise and labor to make it a reality. I used to read some physics...

    How much did you lose....

    I started in January of 1999, lost about 45K through present. 40K in stocks, most of that in the spring of 2001. Took a lot of time off, tried the NQ in spring and summer of 2002, lost about 5K. Finally realized I probably shouldn't be a discretionary trader, so I started playing around with...

    Trendiness of Days - assigning a value

    Thanks! :D The target and the stop parameters of the indicator are just for measurement purposes. You don't have to actually trade with them, but they should be typical of the kind of moves you go for if you were planning to use the indicator. You said your performance depends on...

    Trendiness of Days - assigning a value

    The threads about random trading started me thinking about this. It would be possible to define trendiness in terms of the profitability of random entry trading with fixed target and stops. It is easy to see that a in a strongly trending market, the win/loss rate of random entry, fixed...
