Hi tdat i havnt been here for a good while because off poker.
Yea online poker is now hazardous ,even the old timers cant beat the new online game.

There is multitabling too the extreme 25 to 30 tables for a professional online player is normal.ADD to this the hud and table ninja ,tools wich are legal on most sites the average player is fished out.
I have won 4 tournaments and a good few sit and go tourneys lol but long study was needed,
I PLAY 6 TABLES AT A TIME dont use the hud and still play a good 6 max cash table,
too the point where i double the money,After that get totally fished by the professors.
Anyway just thought i would drop a nonsense line

hong kong, Hello! It's nice to see you! I think playing too many tables removes one of the biggest joys in poker... getting to know your individual opponets' play so that you can makes individual moves on them. No Limit holdem is an art to me, and playing it as a science is just not as much fun in my opinion.

In any case, I am happy your skills are improving. GOOD LUCK!

I saw multiple videos to learn playing poker. But they were completely out of my understanding. Thanks for sharing this article at the right time. Its very comprehensive at the same time informative for freshers like us.
