City Traders - similarities to poker?
There was an interesting documentary on TV last night about financial traders in the City of London and Wall Street in New York. Some of the people we're being trained up on similations before being 'released' to trade with real money. It was interesting because some people, despite being very bright people, were really…

Abusing the 'fish'
Yet again, more regulars sat at low staked tables abusing players they deem not worthy of playing. You do NOT have a right to abuse players because of their loss column and have a right to play without ridicule. Not only that, it is pretty dumb to abuse perceived poor players. And well done on turning the abuse on anyone…

Classic look and apologies
OK, so I finally got annoyed at having to click on "problem with new tables" every week to revert to the old setup and decided to try the new one. Stumbled upon the "classic look and feel" and it's great! Timer in the middle took a little while to get used too but other than that it didn't feel like too much change at all.…

Regs / BumHunters
It really annonys me that the regs on the site give no action unless you are a complete fish (Philany2qq at PLO not included in this) but that maybe because I pretty much have an edge over nobody at omaha After taking a little money of various regs I now find it impossible to get action lower at 100nl or lower. I wouldnt…

Second chances...
I want to address an issue that is perhaps not very important at all, but it does have regular legs on the forum, so I figured it would be good to put it to bed.. or at least tuck it in for the night. There is, of course, no direct correlation between this post and anything else :) Image. Not your image at a poker table,…

TOP TIP
Hi everyone, I just noticed that on BBC1 tonight at 11.45, there is a fiction film called Rounders. It is a fantastic film revolving around playing high level poker. I am guessing that most of us older ones will have watched it at least once, but it may be that some of the younger or newer players may not have seen it. The…

Confidence and optimism
Interesting one to discuss... In sport, for example, you will see a manager say something like 'we're feeling positive at the moment the boys are playing with a lot of confidence' Do you think that being confident and / or optimistic helps your poker results in the long-run or is there a flip side?
