I am a poker dealer in Niagara Falls, NY and on my first night, my first table, my first hand I dealt 1/2 NL. First to act raises to $10, fold, fold, reraise to $30, folds the the original raiser who now is allin with $150, call. Both show AA and chop it up.

When I am running poorly and am getting beat by 2 outers and taking consistent bad beats its time to try something new. I try to mix things up to avoid going on tilt rage. There are several thing I can do. The first thing I do is stop playing for at least a couple of hours. When I come back on I tend to move down in stakes if ive been playing Waikemea I go to Tijuana. If you wait long enough you will get hands where you will flop close to the nuts. I would persoanlly rather get bad beats then not get my money in correctly. I also play sit and goes and tourneys and no ring games. I have seen a lot of good players lose thier bankrolls by not following guidlines to effective bankroll management one in particular on this site who has a brother who plays on merge also. One brother was a big stakes player the other is a medium player. The big stakes player lost a 12k bankroll the last time I saw him. No names mentioned but I want to play as long as possible without redepositing I think im on my way.

I have played up to 5 10 nl poker but generally consistently play 100 nl to Tijuana 25dollar nl on Wass. I have noticed especially in the waikemea 50 nl and tijuana 25nl that avg pot per hand is going way up. A couple of months ago I would say the averege was 7 dollars avg pot at waikemea and 4 dollars at Tijuana. I am seeing 14 dollar averege tables at waikemea and seven dollars at Tijuana. I always play at the highest dollar averege tables because it is the most profitable at the lower stakes table. I don't tend to look at dollar avereges when playing higher level because play tends to be rather loose. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the rise in dollar amounts. Maybe the economey and price of gas? I don't know but I like it.

went to waimea after playing like a donk in tijuan a10 vs .. in tijuan flop comes 8810 guy who is loose bets 8 i all in off course had 85 horrifice play by me no doubt. Went to Waimea aq i had flop comes aq2 player had bet 2 pre flop bets 5 i raise to 10. Turn comes q he bets 15 I all in him he calls has aq doh, a day to forget. I would have printed screen what are the odds of aq vs aq with aqq board. He could have had aa I guess im lucky. I would have printed screen still doing the 10 step tutorial on step 5 almost at 50 blogs bear with me yall. Im not crying just thinking out loud. Is that a full rake by the way split pot 2 all ins?

I have read on a lot of reviews of merge network about the loose and inexperienced players on the network. I honestly havent seen that many of them. They are around though and I make sure to tag them immediatley. I would really love to know as soon as they are online because thats the table I want to be on. The only way now and i could be wrong is that you extend a friendhip that way as soon as they come on you know and can see each table they are on. I found a player like this today he was representing every hand and betting aggresively at Tijuana table. I get aa pocks and he bets 2 dollars pre flop so i call. The flop comes ak8 diaomd diamomd I check and he bets 4 i call. The turn comes diamond flush I all in at this point he calls with ace 10 kicker not even suited the right way to the river. I immediatly extend a friendship request he accepted but then he deletes it. Hopefully the tech guys can put something together so players can tell when other players such as these are on. I have noticed that I can extend friendship and if i see player on the table i can delete it then extend after i leave they don't always know.

Not posting all my losses but this one was pretty aggrevating. I was at about 2500 with blinds at 250 get aq everyone folds out 1 person left raises 600 pre flop so I decide to make all in move with aq. Person calls all in with 4k in chips and has ace nine off. The flop was 678 turn was ace and the flop was 5?10? nope NINE. It dosen't qualify as a bad beat I know but definitly an aggrevating one? better luck next time

I don't play that much anymore, so are you saying that you can't label people as fish and bluffers, etc. anymore? -- or friends - unless they accept? - that is lame! I wonder if you can search for a name, like on pokerstars?

[dan]

you can still do all that. But you don't know when someone is on unless they are on your friends list they have to accept friendship. When they sign on and you have them as a friend you know whey they come on and can see what tables they are on. If you do not have a player on as a friend and they come on you won't know they are on. If I have a player fish tagged I would like to be able to see that they are on and what tables they are on.
