Friend of mine has now made quite an extensive living off of online poker. Apparently rated one of the top 10 in the world.
He now almost calls it work though as he works nearly a full 8hr day playing.
I've seen days where he's been down $25,000 at some points and back up to winning 50G's by the end. He's incredible, but he does play 15 games at once.
A good friend of mine makes tables for Bodog.com and gave me a shitload of freebie passes worth $100. If anyone is interested i can give them some passes when i get home.

Luckily, only with play money.
Anyone else have the disease?
I think I've lost about 185 million dollars playing on-line in the last two years.

I'd be interested. I've never played on bodog.com before. I tried a couple years ago, but back then, it was only available to Americans. But if you have any left, i'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

It's just not POKER unless it's real money.
I've definitely had my share of losing real money both online and at the casinos. However, this past Wednesday was just awesome at Niagara Fallsview's poker room. I won $475 playing 1/2 no limit and went to Sundowners before catching Benny Benassi's set at Dragonfly.

If they were bots though, that would be easier, cause then you could systematically figure out how they play.
But becareful. There's lots of scams out there. Ie, you sit at a table and all of the other players know each other and are talking on the phone/or msn about their cards and stuff like that.
I also think on some sites that their random card generating programs are bogus...

Seriously. I especially notice this in the tournaments.
