I am doing great in live hold 'em play, however, i continue to lose online.....i think my patience in person is great but online it may be lacking....

i know it's hard without seeing my play, but any other things i should be watching out for?

for me it used to be the other way around....i would be patient online because i can play 2-3 tourneys at the same time, while in the cardroom i have to wait for the dealers to do their thing.

dunno if u have a probelm with getting unpatient i would suggest trying to play two or more games at once.

be patient, only play premium hands.

You win more dumping second-best hands than you ever will winning hands.

because online , unless you can control yourself , is easier to go on TILT since there is not real chips in front of you. and no live people to laugh at you when you lose your stack going all in on tilt.

stick to Live sherman if thats where your winning why play online if your losing at it?

Waiting for premium hands is no doubt the most underated angle you can have in online play..im talking strictly tourny play here but i couldnt count the number of times ive made the final table playing no more than 6-8 hands the entire tourny to get there...show me a guy who can sit for 3+ hours and only play 6-8 hands and ill show you a guy with...well a guy with no life!! me!!!!!!

To be frank im looking for places to play..i cant find enough games in my price range at times i can play and at sites worth playing at to make it worth my time. im finished with PP, i was down to only playing the 25,000 guaranteed but with the disconnects and them making me post blinds 4 out of 5 hands at critical times i just got sick of the b.s. they dont want me there cus they know ill never give a penny back in rake.

im playing at poker stars trying to make the 350,000.00 guaranteed every week via the 3.00 satelites but 3 weeks in a row now ive failed to make it. u need to finish in the top 24 to qualify and with about 10 30th place finishes in the last few weeks my confidence there is going downhill fast...as well as my bankroll..

im going back to bodog today but i already know whats going to happen there. someone will call my trip aces with q-8 and catch runner runner...it happens every game.

ive still got my withdrawal from PP in my neteller acct and just looking for the right place to put it. im looking at ultimatebet, doylesroom , full tilt and a few others but nothings really jumping out at me so far. in other words its been awhile since ive gotten a big payday and although im not in critical condition yet i am playing with scared money...never a good thing!

by the way while typing this i just saw a commercial on t.v. for a big live tourny to be held in s. louisiana this month..havent even been to the site yet but if anyone wants to ck it out details are at kreweofhercules.com...i may not have spelled that right but a quick google should find it.

That's understandable, pretty much limited to Foxwoods ( may have to wait) or Elks, VFW type place ( quasi-legal). Private games are hard to leave if you are winning.

I can't play a private game with too low stakes, too boring ! I just can't play for 25-cent raises, it bores me.
