New to online but not to poker and can't belive the beats people take. I've sat live 30 hour sesions and haven't seen what I've witnessed online. I'm talking flop sets vs. deep stack wheel draw 4 outer and hitting on the regular. AA vs AJ pre flop. KK vs J10off pre flop. Flop nut flush vs. weak two pair (89off) to spike a boat on the river. I want to puke. Granted none of this was any of my money just observing tables and some of the freerolls I play in.
I guess my question is if I'm comfortable at a live 2-5 nl game should I adjust and play in mutil-table cash micro-stakes to off set this seemingly unrelenting sting of suckouts. Or SIN and sit with my entire bank and play in the 1-3/2-5 NL game.
(found some hiding in an old jacket:canabis Truth is I'm nervous about investing any real money to an online account to play in a 1-3 or 2-5 nl game. I was very profitable (just under 3K) last year live, but with extra cash came trouble (DUI's) now stuck at home, online is the only action. I can't bring myself to make a deposit. I feel if I deposit $25, $100 or even $500 it will just be a waste (the bad beats). It was Sammy Farha who said on wsop ESPN afew years ago that he can beat the good players but bad players are toughter to beat. "I can't beat bad players" Sam Farha.
Think I'll just be taking a break from poker until I'm finished with this court BS and take money from friends at their homegames and get rides to the pokerrooms when I can. Or I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and freeroll and maybe get an online bankroll that way. I hate my life. HA!!!
