best time and place for weak players

[johnbaker]

ive noticed that i consistently get screwed on weekdays, and i consistently win on fridays and weekends. i figure this has something to do with the types of players who play at certain times. my favorite type of game to play in is a game where people are loose preflop and super tight post flop; i can raise 4 limpers with nothing, then steal it all on the flop 3 out of 4 times. this is by far the best kind of poker game; you know why? because its impossible to get screwed. you always know where the other players are at, and you can win without having to dodge bullets. id rather win 100$ after playing for 2 hours in a game like this than in 30 minutes of playing in a more skilled game and putting my money in as a 4 to 1 favorite every time; im so sick of getting screwed, i cant stand it... its unbelievable how bad of luck i have. if anyone has any advice on what times they play the most successfully, and on what sites, id be interested in hearing it

I usually play when there are a lot of players online, but when Party does die down (<$20,000) you would sense a "tightening" up by the other players. It depends how you like to play ... loose or tight.

You seem like you're a very aggressive player ... are you maybe taking too many chances when the time isn't right? Find yourself bluffing too much? (Which is never advisable in low limits anyway.) I would definitely suggest a tight-aggressive strategy. I think it's the easiest way to make the most money. No need to make too many moves.

I have consistently been a break even poker player up until about a week ago. Now, I know that this is not a long enough period to say I am anything but a break even poker player, but I feel like my game has changed, and I also have started being able to call people down and I win almost every night. If i dont win though, its only a fraction of my buyin. I started with $50 after breaking back even at pokerroom and immediately cashing out my original 300 after a painstaking rebuilding effort. In a little more than a week I have turned my bankroll into ~$550. All of this production has been achieved thanks to PartyPoker, the Hold 'em 25NL tables, and the smorgasboard(spelling?) of newbs that exist there. I find that I have the ability to sit at a table and immediately have a good idea of who will give it up i.e. the lucky rich guy, the tiltiing guy, the crazy preflop better guy, the shortstack allin timebomb guy...there are plenty. Anyhoo, I have found that these tables a ripe with opportunity for good money. I read in some magazine about some 17 year old kid whos made 350k in online poker that he likes 1am, because he thinks all the suckers come out at that time. I do too, but i dont think its tooo much better than any other time. Well, I would love to hear if anyone else has had the insane success i have had at the 25NL tables.

P.S. I am a coupla bucks shy of 600 now just in the time I took to write this. Haha! May everyone find the success i have found this week.

nice run...

I went on a run like this a few weeks ago, made like $600 in like a 5 day period, its nice when the cards/luck is running that good.

I have been getting the cards...but i also think 25NL is a place for those looking to strike rich quick, and they are perfect for taking.

Well, after I had my car accident and was off about 3 weeks with a head injury, I managed to parlay a free tourney win at thebike.com into about $800 after getting an invite to one of the .99 tourneys at Pokertropolis. Things have mostly settled to a small profit since then, although yesterday I won the $200 added and got a 6th in a $20+2 at Inter.
