re: johnny coconuts\online playCan't Post

Hey,

Your last post in your thred explains it all !!

1st off I have no "interest" in any poker site, but I have tried twice to play
the low limit ring hold'em games on Full Tilt to earn a bonus and the games were
some of the worst (tightest) games EVER.

You have a bunch of people trying not to lose, and earn their bonus while
risking as little $$ as possible. There is NO action. Essentially everyone is
playing just like you !! And that can't be a good thing !!

I gave up and cashed out the 1st time and made the mistake of giving them
another chance after a long break. And besides the tight play the restrictions
you needed to meet to collect would take FOREVER, especially when you consider
the tight play means no or very little rake !!

I would say try the same games on most any other site with some traffic and you
will feel much better. I'm guessing there is probably a noticeable "tightening"
of play in the small games on any site right after a "bonus offer".

Anyway GL,
And I feel your pain.
DB

Whoops ! I may have responded to the wrong thread or poster here in my rushing
to get ready for work and posting this. Sorry if I did and come off like an
idiot.

I stand by what I said about those games on Tilt, in my experience.

As for the nice "loose" games, like T Perry says you MUST adapt your play as
needed to flourish. No fold em' hold em is a unique monster to slay.

As I deal $4-$8 No Fold em' here in Seattle 4 nights a week, I know all about
that.

GL, DB
