Played another VFW tournament last Sat...same $65 buy in...this time $1800 to 1st place and paying down to 25 places...I came in 18th and won $80 bucks...had fun. 2 crucial mistakes cost me a higher place finish..... oh the pain of it all....... K3 suited against a pair of jacks no help from the flop, turn or river.....I knew better than to call against the person holding jacks but I gambled....with 10000/20000 blinds you dont last long if not doing well...... I've discovered that the more I play on a serious level the more conservative I've become....I think I can go all the way now with a few good hands at the right times...... regards and All In.........

>>Let me know please how neteller works for you. I am holding off for a bit till I talk to some users No problem, I will. I tried to transfer some money using credit card (credit card to fund neteller) but didn't worked :-( My credit card company (BA) said they aprowed, and neteller said it wasn't their fault. Since credit card is Visa I think there (VISA) wasn't aproved. So I will have to use checking account. I don't have it, only savings account. So I will have to set it up, so it will take few days before I will start messing with this again. :-( Mario

>> Let me know please how neteller works for you. I am holding off for a bit till I talk to some users. Uh, sorry, I almost forgot. Some use it (neteller) and like it. I tried and didn't worked. First I tried with credit card and it was denied. (I have exlellent credit with high fico score) Then I tried to use my saving bank account and again for some strange reason didn't worked. So I gave up. Because I found better, faster way. Probably more expencive. epassporte.com ePassporte - with Full Tilt Poker. You can use your credit card. After they check your account - they will send few pennies to your accound, and then you let them know, what amount it was, you can use it. It is fast, I did it in around 30 minutes (including calling my credit card account to see the amount) and it worked well. You can transfer minimum 50$ and they charge you 5$ for the service. Grrr, lol The way it works, once they verify your account, you get another, virtual credit card number with (again virtual) expiration day and you use that one to fund your account at Full Tilt Poker. I'm now playing 5c/10c and FullTiltPoker. I must say, it is waaaay different than playing for fake money. I have no problems making A LOT fake money, but I'm strugling with real money. I guess I need some adjustments. But I do have some bad luck. I lost four times with pocket KK (always all in) and I lost once with pocket AA (someone called my all in with pocket QQ and flop the set) So I don't know, if I need to do serious adjustments or it is only bad luck, since I'm lossing big with high pocket pairs, ( I newer won any yet and they soupose to be the best preflop hands!) but I'm usually succesfull with stealing small amounts. I guess I better stop playing 'all in'. Or maybe that bad luck will stop. Btw, playing with friends for real money it's different. There I have regular luck/unluck as you would expected and I'm way more sucessfull. Btw, anyone know, which book is the best for uncovering online playing technics and tricks? Book wich is focusing on online low $ play's? But must be the best one, lol Mario
