I play 12 hours a week clearing Crypto bonus's (InterPoker, PokerPlex, UKBetting,TotalBet), and another 5 hours at Party.
If you are just starting out online - Party Poker is the place to go, best software and 40,000 online at any givin time.
Pacific has to many collusion teams for my taste. Seen them in action and don't like it one bit.
I play full ring games 2 or 3 tables at a time in 2/4 games and this year will be filing taxs since I've made $XX,000.
Lets just say a trip to St.John USVI ($300 a night in a cottage) is only putting a small dent in the bank (also known as a wife bribe LOL)
BTW - TV poker is a godsend for limit players. NOBODY should watch those guys if they want to learn to be a winning at poker. They play a totally different game and know each other VERY well. Play like them online and you will learn fast that their bluffs do not work.
The REAL beautey is that SO many people are learning to play badly and STILL win. Play straight up ABC poker, nothing fancy and you can make more then you will believe.
DO NOT play any games with PLAY MONEY. It will teach you many many many bad things. PLAY MONEY and live money are way different games. Real money you will have hidious players that are much better then the play money players.
