The Online Internet

We all know about Bill Fillmaff's claims of being the biggest all-time winner on the "online internet." Well, if you don't know you better axe somebody.

I'm not playing online, partly cause of the new online gambling laws and partly cause I have a different strategy.

Games online have been getting tougher. Someone else thinks so, too. I've won consistently online but I have a disadvantage in that I can't play more than four tables at once. Well, I can but I get overloaded and start fucking up, accidentally folding boats and other egregious shit like that. To maximize their edges, online pros are getting rakeback and they're multitabling and they're playing for hours on end to get site bonuses.

At the limit I'm currently playing I could make more money online, playing four tables at a time and getting rakeback. But I plan to move up to $2-5 NL as my regular game within a few months. The casino games at $2-5 NL are tougher than the $1-2 NL but nothing close to what you'd find online at $2-5 NL or even at an online $1-2 NL. At $2-5 NL I expect I'll do at least as well live as I would online. And at $5-10 NL I think I'll do better live than I would online. So the idea is, when I move up in limits in a few months I'll be a liveplay monster on point with my best game.

Will be in Vail, Colorado this weekend skiing into trees and snowdrifts. When I come back I plan to hit the tables hard and finish the month strong. Has been a solid if unspectacular month so far.
