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. | ||

 in other words, is it possible to try online poker with real money without using your own money or is it all lie? | ||

"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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
