Hello bfw...Let me start by saying I'm no limit stud expert.Ive played hi/lo 8 or better a few times on line, but I'm mostly a no limit holdem player and I'm a tournament player though I do play cash games.If i read your question right some can bet double on 4th street if they someone has an exposed pair.Other than that you cant bet double till 5th street if I remember the cash rules "its been a while".However you've not been able to double bet in this scenario.If im correct, let me know please....As for the "You cant pay me to play there" coment,,It's a free world..Heres why I play there despite the clunky softwear and the occasional need to reopen the site due to disconnects ect.....When I decided to play
online poker I was looking for a site where a beginner could get a lot of quick experience for little actual risk of losing a lot of money as I was learning.I started with
freerolls anywhere I could find them,
poker stars ,Full Tilt, U.Bet and at least 10 others I've all but forgotten about.After severaI weeks,I found PitBull with a google search when I put in the search "Free money to play poker" I used the bonus code I found and after a chat with their live support I recieved the $10 in my acct.Naturally,since I knew nothing of
bankroll mangt. as it's applied to poker, I lost it in a few hrs. at the .25 nlhe cash table.Back then there was a $50 freeroll each hr. that had a 500 player cap. They have $25 freerolls now.I started playing these every hr.Over the 1st 6months of online play this was the only site I felt I wasn't totally outskilled by the pool of players.Hence ,I almost started playing there exclusively because, I placed in about 1 out of every 10 freerolls I played there.I read everything I could find about nlhe tourny play..Harrington on holdem being the best of the lot.I would win a few $$ in the freerolls then try the $1.25 sit n goes, lose the $$ and do it all over again.I had a blast and it cost me no $$$. At several points I'd build a decent bankroll, then lose it playing over my bankroll.Still, I was gainning valuable experience for no risk, just time.Then I had a near death experience and was in the hospital for 4weeks, then had to due some jail time almost as soon as i got out for past due fines.Since I had time to think about life and all in the semi-meditive environment of the local county jail,I thought I would decide what i was going to do for a living.I was a pool hustler and sports gambler during the late 80s and early 90s when 9ball was the in thing like poker is now.I realized the reason I was losing my roll wasnt because I was no good, it was because I wasnt using bankroll mangt. like I did in pool and sports
gambling back in the day.So I read everything on the subject as soon as I got to a computer.After reading up on this aspect of the game I came to the realization that, There was far more money to be made in online poker than I ever made playing pool..and I was a damn good 9ball player.So on that day about 2 yrs ago I realized that I was going to be a winning online poker player the rest of my life, and I have been.....to be continued........next post I'll tell you why there's no better place online to build a bankroll than at poker than PitBull Poker......coyboy33
