hello Allout,

it is good to hear you are doing well playing online...

the answer to your question depends on several things.....

1. is your bank roll..
2. is what games you are going to be playing most often.

the imprtant thing no matter where you play is to have good Bankroll management.. about 20 or more buyins to what ever you play regularly..and not to buy in for more than 2% of your BR into multitable tournys...(im going by ferguson's BR management rules here...which i think is great)

if you have a small bankroll and are going to play cash mostly go to stars....

if u have a good few hundred ..and are able to play 25nl or higher.....some sites like PKR are notoriously weak...and you will be swimming with a lot of fish.

in SNGs tilt and stars is good i think... (i dont really like SNGs but i like the structure on tilt and stars)....especially if you are good at HU sngs....tilt can make you a lot of money very very quickly.

if u ever play cash games on tilt..i suggst playing in 25nl .....i find these games easier to beat than 10nl as  almost everyone in 25nl plays a very predictable TAG style...

...from what I am told by a friend....in NLHE BODOG and tilt have some of the better players....this does not apply to micro stakes though....as everyone is pretty awful at those stakes..

ultimately......if you are winning player.....you should be able to win in any site....just be careful when moving up.. especially in cash games.....because the games get very tough as they get higher...and are getting tougher and tougher everyday..

i was also told that if you are good at Omaha or O8, or stud possibly ....to try sites like prima...apparently those non-US sites are very weak at other games.

sorry for the long reply.. hope it helped

GL at the tables

Allout thanks for this post, I recently watched The Card Academy Video that Caxman posted. Prior to watching this Video i had never really bothered with any online Sitn'goes at all, but after watching the vid i instantly gave a $3.40 one a go and cashed easily and thought ok i'll go a $5. I was watching Nicolau's Video a second time at the same levels i was upto in the live $5 sitn'go i was playing and followed the same betting patterns he used and funny enough i dominated totally from whoa to go. It wasn't rocket science just a great video that all should watch.

I really want to watch more videos like this as for me i get way more out of it than reading through someones life story in a Poker book:).

Well The raw truth of it for me is this!!

After watching the Video i nervously got out my credit card for the 1 Millionth time.I then made one of my smallest deposits i have made on Stars of $27 U.S. My Bankroll management was not great at first as i was playing 2 high But went st8 to around $120 US in the first day after a few succsecfull sitn'goes and used the same betting patterns in a live 10c/25c ring game played pretty strong and turned my 25 Buyin into 85 and left prompltly. In the following few days made a bankroll mgt plan and went only into 5/10c ring games but found them frustrating and yep found my self down 2 the felt again... for the umpteenth time.

There are many problems i've encountered whilst playing online the main one for me is probably discipline especially in cash games which is what i enjoy most. I have found myself involved in hands where im certain i was robbed due to players collusion tactics (this is a huge problem in cash games on all sites). But still i persist and try and battle the masses.

In closing i will say that i am still a losing player but have showed some improvement of late and these videos would be great to access more often.

I would probably be ahead if i only stuck to sitn'goes and tourneys, however cash games are way more entertaining, if only i could limit my losing sessions to nil i would be laughing all the way to the bank.

i only play full tilt and poker stars under the name jameslan i do best on poker stars too much monkeys on full tilt
