I am retiring....well sort of the sequel
Awesome title once again:p
So decided to leave no limit hold em, just really does not do it for me anymore, I may go back after extended break who knows, I am going to dabble into 5 card draw again, I don't think you can grow a bankroll off of it or maybe not even sustain a good profit from it but will give it a go.
I have been getting back into it the last 2 weeks and it is the most fun I have had in poker for some time, For the most part I am just playing .25/.50 limit and may go to .50/1 and even maybe 1/2 limit if things go good.
As for pot limit I may dabble into that as well, have to wait and see.
It is the only thing on pokerstars that I feel comfortable playing,merge has it too in no limit but no traffic.
Stars has sit n go's for 5 card draw, I use to do good in them when I first played, then I moved away from 5 card draw which I should not have done, have tried 2 since and has not gone well, I think they have mtt's for 5 card draw and have final tabled 1 and just missed in another so those are options as well for me in the game.
I know a few of you play omaha, GTA,Mark, Milo I don't think that would be a option for me, if I got no luck in nlh it will be worse in Omaha,lol and I don't know how you guys do it.
So I have moved all my bankroll to focus on 5 card draw and see where it goes.

yes and no, Don't really get ur post,lol
Hard to say, not a good day in anything really.
GL with the 5-card draw. I may give it a shot tonight, just for shiggles.
I've seen Milo play PLOM, I wouldn't say it's an option for him either

Think I have heard of that book, does it work for outside of poker?
hahahahaha, looked like he was doing good in a mtt last night:)
Inside the intriguing world of poker lies a fascinating exercise in strategy and extreme concentration--many of the same principles that underpin the one-thousand-year-old philosophy of Zen spirituality. Zen and the Art of Poker is the first book to apply Zen theories to America's most popular card game, presenting tips that readers can use to enhance their game. Among the more than one hundred rules that comprise this book, readers will learn to: * Make peace with folding * Use inaction as a weapon * Make patience a central pillar of their strategy * Pick their times of confrontation Using a concise and spare style, in the tradition of Zen practices and rituals, Zen and the Art of Poker traces a parallel track connecting the two disciplines by giving comments and inspirational examples from the ancient Zen masters to the poker masters of today.

no money 5-card draw, everyone solid
No white hair, no Dickdo, retirement not allowed
I think it's a law, really!!!
Milton "Old enough" Slim:-\
Zing!
Actually have done better in 5 card draw the last week then a week in sit n go's,lol
will really retire if win lotto max Friday.;)
son!!
I dipped into that when it first came out nothing serious, forget how to play it now,lol
[ ] sample size
But in all seriousness, a week of doing well does not mean much, play it a bunch more before you decide.
ya I know, that's what I said in OP, just saying I am doing better in it, I have also played it a bunch, almost as long as hold em.
Like I said just trying it, I am not really sure which way I will go.
WTF is a Dickdo.
Tummy sticks out farther than the dickdo.......
Henway!
Only micro so of course not like I was playing good players, but I tried and slowed down and think through hands, was able to get a few more value bets in and some stealing opportunities.
Once in the money the usual runner runner bullshit from stars like we all know:), had the same hand as opponent and he hit runner runner for flush,ugh!
But still not sure which way I will go yet.:)
Dad!!
Can I haz my allowance?
omg!!!! I sucked out!!!! the guy was 3 betting quite a bit so meh borderline call.
But bankroll might be slim to none, need to cash some or most of it out, fathers day and such coming, give me time to read up on cash games anyways, hopefully keep enough to give 9 man stt a go again on full tilt.
Maybe in the new year I will start up again if it does slow down at work and that wetts guy agrees to be my mentor.;)
Stay retired, I don't think even Wetts can help you. Live stress free!
