What to do...


Getting tired of the smoke at the underground games I play, I simply can't play in those conditions any more on a regular basis.

So, either to the casinos or taking a shot at online poker again...casinos are all an hour away from Toronto so I'm giving online a shot again. I'm generally a break-even online ring player, while being a big winning player live. Partly my game being worse online, I'm also much more prone to tilt online for some reason...it almost never enters my live game...hoping to play more solid poker and move up to 10 20 soon.

Scouted a few sites wanting to try something new. Decided on absolute poker as the 5 10 looked very soft with 4-5 per flop. My run of terrible cards continued, only hitting 1-2 flops or draws in a 4h session. I also fell into my online trap of calling with a few hands to the river that I would let go of live...I need to tighten up my ring game online, have to see how the next few sessions go.

On a side note, I will NEVER play this site again. The game itself was great, very sort, people calling raises with J8o etc etc. However, I got disconnected 4 times or more within 4 hours. I NEVER get d/c on any of the major sites, fast computer/cable modem etc. Also, the traffic on this site is less than I would have wished.

Withdrawing the rest and heading to a party skin with a decent rakeback.

-30bb in 4h.
