$450 a day is great. I finished second in a 7 card stud tournament on Poker Stars last night and won a 7 Stud tourney on Full Tilt this morning. I actually got paid more for last night's second than today's first, but there were twice as many players last night. We are using a similar strategy, though cash games have a different flow than tourneys. I play like a maniac early, then tighten up when the stakes get high. Everyone thinks I'm nuts and calls or raises me later on, when I have the nuts. Some guys argue so hard to prove that what they did made sense and they did not suck out. If they want to think I suck out, they can be my guest. <G> It is really funny on full Tilt, where they shuffle the down cards in stud when you show your hand. So, a guy who had pocket aces may look like he caught the second ace on the river. It makes for some huge arguments. It just amazes me that some players would rather have folks they've never met and probably never will meet think well of their net name than win their money. Are they nuts?
