I have to second that comment - I have been on about 4 fourms and I have dropped them all for this one.

Great guys here. Thanks

All very good advice. Another thing the you hinted to that is part of moving up is scouting the table.

Everyone should, but few do, watch the table before sitting down with their hard earned money. I open the 3 or 4 tables that are at my limit and get on the list. I take the first table that is open. Then I wait for number 2.

I will change if I see a better table or I lose on one of the first two tables. Later I will add the NL$100 table to the mix - but later.

So far today I am winning 27ptBB/100 for 334 hands on the NL$50 tables.

Live I can not do this so easily - Where I play they have forced moves to the main table. Last time I sat down on the 6/12 limit table and waited for the NL $200 feeder table. I got there and then to the main table. I lost my 2 buyins ($400) and moved to the 6/12 limit for an hour. Got back on the NL list and went to the feeder table one more time. By the time I left after moving back to the NL main table I was up $300 for the day.

But that was 10 hour day. $300 / $10 = $30 hour. My day job is $70 hour

I guess there is some entertainment value

I am a computer software specialist working with the IBM mainframe database - DB2. I have been doing database work since 1979 and software progamming since 1967.

I am an old fart I hope to retire in 6 years and poker is my second career.

Sorry I can't help yout with your back.

Sounds very nice!!!
