Wooh an hour session from Pokerstars play money:
During current Hold'em session you were dealt 132 hands and saw flop:
- 12 out of 27 times while in big blind (44%)
- 15 out of 29 times while in small blind (51%)
- 26 out of 76 times in other positions (34%)
- a total of 53 out of 132 (40%)
Pots won at showdown - 9 of 11 (81%)
Pots won without showdown - 10
Anyways, I don't even know if that is good or anything but I made around 12k in chips on the 5/10 tables so I'm pretty satisfied. When I turn 18 in 3 months, how much difference can I expect between play money and real money? My initial plan is to do micro stakes like $0.01/$0.02 for a while, and I will have to even be discreet about that since my parents will even rip my arms off if they catch me playing Poker for pennies.
I've been watching the $50/$100 tables but I reckon that it won't help me if I'm going to be doing $0.10/$0.25 for a long time until I move up. What should I be watching to just help me overall? Not really sure what would help me the most and be beneficial.
Also - how do taxes work out? I remember doing a GPT website but only ever cashed out a $22.30 check but the website stated if you earned over $600 dollars annually you have to get a K-9 IRS form and do taxes or something. Is that similar to poker? Any input appreciated.

probably not. ill try to give serious answer
playmoney is like.. theres so many that make terrible plays, people cannot fold ace high in multiway pots flop etc
0.01/.02 is still very bad but at least people do not shove randomly all the time/dont call down 3 strets with 3rd pair. iirc playmoney sngs are tougher as the cashgames (or the hubble tourneys etc), still very easy tho

try playing those high stakes play money (sounds retarded lol), its a little bit closer to NL2.
I'm battling NL2 now myself and it's not hard, but you have to have lots and lots of patience! |
