   well this is fantasy sports
   but i play poker on full tilt all of the time
   the MOST IMPORTANT ADVICE IS BE PATIENT!!!!!
   people dont value this….they play low quality hands 9 handed, and get burned
   i can give you some advice if you need….
   you can look my name up bowal79
   I honestly wouldnt pay any money for advice, unless it was to buy a book from a PRO
   my advice for making money……play smaller priced tournaments…..i usually play sit and go’s ranging anywhere from 5+.50 to 30+3…..the higher the buy-in, the better the talent is….i usually play 4 tables at once…..(2) 5+.50 and (2)10+1….it makes me only play quality hands…..
   my advice……play tight-agressive……my hand selection is very thin, but when i am in a pot, i will play at it, whether i hit it or missed it, because people are unpredictable…..9 handed, i will only play…..any pair, AQ, AK, or suited connectors…..i will fold AJ, KQ, or KJ, or A10 , and especially the OVERRATED QJ….people Value QJ too much…..9 handed, even if the blinds are only 15-30…..onnly because those hands will get you in trouble, ALOT…..i will start playing those hands 5 or 6 handed, when the blinds are bigger, and the DEAD MONEY is out….
   when the blinds go up and up, i will play more hands, i will be given the tight image from when there is 9 players to 6 players….and when its 5 handed, and i raise alot of pots, people will be confused…i will be more agressive 4 handed than 9 handed….the less people in the tourney, the quality of the hands goes down, which means play many pots shorthanded
   any questions, email me

   i may not be a pro, but i am up around $1,000 only playing $5 and $10 games over the course of only 6 weeks

   The key is overall winnings. If someone plays rags every hand, yeah, they´ll win once in a while, and even get on some hot streaks… That´s the way it is. However, taking odds into account and only playing good cards isn´t a guarantee you´ll win. Pocket aces are the best pocket cards, but look at how often they lose. Luck is always involved, so even the ‘best´ players will have losing nights. If you don´t get the cards, you don´t win.

   well, if they are better than the people they are teaching then it is ok. I mean, any advice would be an improvement on no advice wouldn’t it??? Besides, not everyone wins ALL the time. It depends on your hand, and your attitude towards the game. It is a great game though.

   You can be given the best advice in the world from one of the best players, but if you get unlucky with the cards you can still lose.
