what should i do

having a hard time deciding what to do.

where should i play?

I was on aced but just withdrew as it takes too long for games to start and you can't multitable very well on there, but did have rakeback.

Full tilt i like their mtt's as it is smaller fields then stars and i would prefer that, cashouts are pretty quick, but the rake is a lil high and have read alot about connection issues(i can't connect so far today).

stars, i hate hate the 60 minute late reg on mtt's, field's are too big but they did introduce cap ones, cashouts are very quick but the bad beats on there are too many and it is hard to profit but can multitable easier.


Problem is it will be a minimum bankroll(being poor sucks) with christmas coming which i am getting stressed out about already.


Now for multitabling i am hearing alot about stacked. Does that not bring up the problem of hitting the wrong button?

I tile as i only play 4 at the very most usually.


sigh what to do.........

Aced was one of the best worst sites I've ever played on. The games were unbelievably soft, but the traffic is way too low. Recently I've just switched from a few different sites. Went to Doyles Room, really wasn't too impressed there, made some money, but overall wasn't liking it too much. Moved my roll from there to Full Tilt and having much better results so far. Lots of real bad players just throwing money away. And don't have any problems multi-tabling. Usually playing 3-4 tables without problem.

also partypoker, it is about the 3rd fastest for cashouts, mtt fields not too big, but wayyyyyy to much rake and fees on there and it is more for rich people like blondefish and actyper. If i had the roll for those buyin's i would be playing there.

I play on CD poker but don't bother with rakeback (all the money I have on there was from free promos). The tables are always full with european players and I like the software. Never any connection problems.

It depends...

1. What games do you like to play?
2. What games are you profitable at?
3. What's your bankroll?
4. What type of games do you want to play in the future?

Yes i know, it said it may be a necessary but not 100% like other job postings.

The only thing holding me back in that case is lack of money to do so, otherwise i am single, no kids etc etc so no problems there, oh ya i live in hell hole Barrie where there will never be any jobs......

1. no limit hold em, and 5 card draw(i know, i know, but i like 5 card draw), stt's right now but am trying to get back into more mtt's.

2. Same as number 1, but depends on if it is 2 tables etc etc

3. right now only 100 max if i am lucky, would love to get back to at least 5.00 buy ins to start anyway so not enough to do that right now.

4. hmmmmm i know i should be getting into different games but have not been able to focus on that yet.
