Pretty funny write up, i enjoyed the read, although as a professional, nothing new here.

I actually have my own table on FTP :D... although sadly i dont play on it yet. It's too big

like many have said

"it's a tough way to make an easy living"

my advice to any sc players wanting to give it a try, don't quit your day job... when you start making more then your dayjob on the side, and have about 6 months worth of rent saved up.. then you can start to think, other then that i wouldn't even flirt with the idea.

Nice guide, but it was somewhat confusing for someone like me, who is a complete beginner. For example, that first chart, what does rr, ur and r stand for? Please explain the chart to me.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

its a fullring (9player) limit starting hand chart

rr=reraised ur=uraised r=raised c=call f=fold

example: if u have JJ in late position, and its unraised (some1 might have called/limped but no1 has put in a raise) you raise. If some1 has raised or reraised b4 you, you just call

omg for some reason i cant edit my posts anymore. fixed the typo

ok this is one of my favorite topics now. I'm watching these cardrunners.com videos on youtube. This Taylor Caby guy is very interesting and I like his explanations.

what is up with all the advertisments saying you get free $$ if you register, lets name them pokerstrategy.
in other words, is it possible to try online poker with real money without using your own money or is it all lie?

i havent done it b4 but i believe its possible, but u have to pass all the conditions. technically speaking, i wouldn't call it "free" coz u "pay" that $100 back if u wanna withdraw in the form of rake, but if u grind alot and never ever wanna deposit, its a good place to start building ur bankroll. liquidpoker has this 100$ Full tilt deal.

conditions are it must be a new account, cannot live in china/columbia, u get 50 first but only get the other 50 in 5 increments every 83 points earned, and lastly - only can withdraw after earning 1000 points.

"For each dollar raked from a pot, every player who was dealt cards for that hand will receive 1 Full Tilt Point" so paying $100 of rake will give you alot less than 1000 points (not all pots will be more than $1, especially at the micros) and they earn the 100 they gave out back and more by taking rake from you.

Good job sir. I used to play online for mid stakes, and I recently deposited again to play some 25 NL just for fun. Needless to say, the post legislation game is a little tougher because I've never been 3 bet at 25NL in my life as much as I do on there (maybe cause I'm comparing FT to pre-leg bodog lol) but a 17/9 will still crush games even while playing like a robot.

With that said, it definitely takes a certain kind of personality to play online poker full time. I used to be able to play for 5 or 6 hours straight across 6 tables with an absurd amount of focus and disregard for money, but now I just can't do it anymore. I would say the two most important qualities as an online player are steam control and being honest with yourself when analyzing hands. Learn from your mistakes; do not try to rationalize why you did what in order to make yourself feel better which results in you continuing to make losing plays.

If you want to play without depositing, play for some playmoney on pokerstars and then when you accumulate between 1.5mil -2.5 mil you can sell it for 15$ - 25$ and start off with that. Basically once you have the basics down and just play somewhat solid it's very easy to make a lot of playmoney. This is how I and many others got started.
There was once a dream that was Esports. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... Now is the time to make that dream a reality!

From a person who is good at poker and has seen people come and go:

Emotional control is everything. No matter how smart, how creative and how amazing a person / starcraft player you are, if you can't deal with the inevitable bad beats / coolers /downswings you will not make it at poker.

woot Ivan Demidov was a starcraft player??
I had no idea
that guy is so freaking good.. (in poker I mean ^^)
geez he even went to Korea? Weird how they never mention that in poker shows while they always mention that when Elky's playing
I guess that explains why he has an Asian gf ^^

Being a Zerg player I guess Ill never be a succesful poker player
Although Ive made at least like 1200$ playing it but now whenever I play (which is almost never) I lose and im too busy studying to invest any more time in it to get good again and stop my unlucky streak.

This is phenomenal. It really makes me want to get into poker. The responses seem to indicate to the uninitiated like myself that it really is valuable and of good quality. Thanks!

Finding the rules of poker (most popular form is No Limit Hold'Em) takes about 10 seconds with a google search tho..
