I use Party Poker. It has been reliable and easy access for me. There are some on this thread who have experience with many sites. Which of the two, limit or no limit hold em, do you prefer. I go back and forth. Tournament wise, I have been more consistent in no limit. But, it all depends upon the price of the game. I try to play a couple hold em tournaments a week and mix in a little regular limit play. Too time consuming otherwise. Can't get the honey do's done.

You could just be on a losing streak, I have been on some dozies. They come to an end eventually. I lost pretty consistently when I first started playing online.

Mario, I beat a guy last night who had AA. I had AQ suited and pulled the straight. It was a bad beat for him, but he had 25% of my chip total, so it wasn't a huge risk for me to call his all in. He had the best hand and played it very smartly. He just had some bad luck on the draw. The fact is, nothing is a huge advantage over any other hand with two live cards pre-flop. Even a 3 to 1 favorite is going to lose 25% of the time. And you rarely have a 3 to 1 favorite. Suited connectors are especially scary. They are 8 to 7 or 9 to 7 underdogs to most big pairs. That isn't a large advantage. I especially like to use suited connectors when there are many callers pre-flop. That usually means that most of the zone cards are already dealt out and unlikely to come on the flop. Mid-level suited connectors work very well in that situation. You will have four people in the hand, an ace/king, an ace/queen, a king/queen and me, with my 8/9 of diamonds. <G>
