Winners or Losers???

I agree that folding on the river is in general going to be a very bad play to make. You cannot let someone push you off of a decent looking pot unless they REALLY push you off of it.

In sum, I am actually quite surprised (no offense to anyone) that so many of us have been so successful playing poker. I was only counting online play, and I couldn't tell you how much I have won live, but I would also say I have pulled in closer to $300-400 playing live so far this year. I am guessing a lot of you have made a helluva lot more playing live than I have, but I really only play with buddies who never really got the game as well as I did.

In any event, PenguinFan mentioned this so I would like to give you a little bit of what I find. Playing low limits, and I know you are an O8er, it is extremely difficult to beat the rake, not the players, but the rake. Every time I sit down at a table I find myself playing against it. This is exactly why I will never be loyal to 1 particular site. If a site wants to give me a bonus, I am going to jump all over it because for the most part playing low limits, I can at least break even with the rake and my bonus money is merely that, a "bonus" for hours spent playing on the site and having other people pay my rake for me.

Anyway, if Party is going to have a second reload this month (since the first one was early), it should be tomorrow .
