£ 432 down is still a loss, and you now have to win over that to be in profit, I think I will stick with monopoly
Thank you both for a very interesting dialogue.

I hope you registered for rakeback Galty as without it your losses will mount up much quicker. So many people have gone before you, playing small stake no-limit tables and cheap tournies. The colluders will eat you for breakfast every time. Tournies are largely a waste of time imo. They are chock FULL of colluders. They all register for the same tournament and then they all go all-in the first 2-3 hands. Most drop out, but the ones that won the all-ins have massive chip stacks compared to everyone else which lets them bully the tables. They can work together to squeeze people out of pots. Mugs game.07-09-2016, 05:54 PM

@RehabYou can join these sites and play with "play money". i.e. you don't deposit a single penny, you play with pretend money. It is their way to fish for new mugs. Play money is of course nothing like real poker. People will happily throw all their chips in with rags because . . . well . . . it's only pretend money. So it's what they call a "donk fest".
It is dangerous though because remember at all times the computer/site is constantly watching you and will make attempts to make you win and feel invincible and thus switch from play money to real money.
At one stage I used to be happy with play money and made it my target to amass a million play chips. However, once I had amassed a fair amount, the system obviously clocked me and within a day took it all off me. That meant I would have to start grinding all over again from almost nothing. Not a nice prospect. I long since uninstalled Full-Tilt and Pokerstars software from my PC. Truth is you can't really tell what it is doing with your PC anyway. Just stay away is my sincere advice.

By way of balance, I should say that my wife is the only online poker winner I have ever met or genuinely heard of. She joined Full Tilt some years ago and as a new member got an automatic enrolment into a special "new member freeroll tournament". Had over 300 players in it. She won it, much to our joint surprise. Took £1500 prize money. At that point she took the money and walked away and never went back. Now that is the way to do it imo.07-09-2016, 06:41 PM

We are talking about Texas Holdem and Omaha.
