Best Site

[Talking Poker]

I seem to be in the minority here, but I don't really think this guy was out of line. Say his bankroll is $10k. Could he not have $500 that he'd like to deposit somewhere? I don't have any problem with him asking that. I also think the "You are playing over our bankroll" posts are reasonable, untl he explained his situation... but there's no need to get nasty after that. I don't think he was insulting this forum at all.

To the original poster: You've played at a bunch of smal Mom and Pop type sites. It's time for you to open accounts at Party, Stars, Full Tilt, UB, etc. Seriously, just work your way down this list (bonus codes included):

Oh, and BTW (to RR)... I haven't forgotten anything about poker.

Thanks for the info those that have replied.
Like I said, my apologies if I offended. I have $500 that I'm plainning on moving to a new site...my bankroll is not $500!!! I typically play 1/2 sometimes 2/4 NL at 3 different sites trying to clear bonuses. I normally play 4- 6 tables at a time.
I am a member of 3 forum sites (this being the 3rd). I don't post all that often, but I do enjoy reading about various sites, bad beats, etc. One of my pet peeves about poker forums is all the people offering advice (when people aren't looking for it). Again, when people write in that I shouldn't be playing 1/2 NL and that I'm over my head, it offends me. Obviously being new here, you guys seem like a knowledgable, close-knit group.

No need to be offended. The advice people are offered here (despite the misunderstanding in this thread) is in their best interests. The people being given the advice can choose to ignore it if they like, but at least the good advice is there for anyone else reading along too, not just the original poster. And that........... makes this forum a better place.

For what its worth, I think this guy was rude . The way he attacked someone just trying to help is way uncool. Even if he didnt ask for advice, (which he did though) Eveyone here wants to win money playing poker and the best way to max the profit is by talking with others and getting their input to better your game. If this guy cant handle it oh well. just my 2 cents ( make it my one cent just took a bad beat!!!)

Fair enough...but when the first 2 responses had nothing to do with the question and were actually talking down to me, I consider that offensive. "Probably not going to make another post"...not even sure what was meant by that....and "I'm not even that crazy"...ya...I think those are a direct poke at me. And as far as being a "newbie" (eejit101), I am far from. Now I know this statement is going to get a lot of interesting responses, but here goes...I have a poker blog/writings that have been published on a respected poker website. I can post some of it here if you would like, but it is would be rather long and boring to most of you...it is aimed at the true online "newbies". Like I said, sorry if I offended but my first experience with the responses on this forum were offending to me...



Just my two cents.

[eejit101]

fair enough

the response I gave was on the little info you gave in you're 1st post, when someone says Im looking for somewhere to put $500 I usually play 1/2 NL, wouldnt you take it the same way Lou and I did. You said thats not your whole bankroll so now with the correct info I say way to go because you play well beyond my level.

As for where to play like TP said you playing the real small sites time to step up to the big ones where you can play and make alot more money.

As for what Lou says I can't speak for him but im guessing he means we always have these people that stop in here and make a post exactly like your 1st one never to be seen again. He grouped you in that group just because the post is exactly like 5-6 we get here every month. The forum is filled with players just like you that have made alot playing poker (not me) and I think you will be very welcome here.


welcome to forum.
