Been awhile since I’ve made a poker post – been awhile since I’ve played seriously but I’ve started to again. I’ve got lots of free time now and need something productive to do so I’ve decided to grind. I always thought if all else failed I could just grind 2/4 NL online and make an easy $150 an hour. WRONG!

$0.50/$1.00 NL I am having a hard time with. Nearly every player is at a level where they have read a poker book and played 50,000 hands it seems. There is the occasional donk but they are few and far between. Now it’s all about how to beat competent players and find and exploit their weaknesses.

Stacking people just doesn’t exist now unless its a cooler. AK hardly ever flops an A and goes broke to a set. They are smart and can read hands well – at micro stakes!

If I can keep making $40/hour+ I’ll keep playing just to have something to do but man wtf at how hard the games got! The US needs to regulate and legalize poker, we need those fish and we need them badly.

I’ve been working long and hard for nearly the last year on an amazing website. ThePlayr.com. I’m finished hiding who I am and what I own so here it is:

www.theplayr.com
www.rakeaid.com
www.psmoey.com
poker.wikia.com
www.buildaroll.com

These are all my sites and will all be branded under ThePlayr.com. This site is going to blow every other poker site out of the water as it will be totally free (no more paying for training videos) and offer the best rakeback and bonus rates available.

ThePlayr Poker Wiki alone I think can be the best resource in poker. Mason Malmuth is adamant that the good old posts not be put together in stickies. So we’ll just put them all together on the Wiki. If he wanted I’d probably turn the Wiki over to 2+2 control as he’d be able to recruit more helpers than I, however since they wont even return my emails I don’t think that will happen soon.

Welcome to the new Degen with a new site and doing things the right way. I know a week of being cool isn’t going to prove anything to anybody but you will see. I am here to stay and I’m in line. Prepare to be blown away by ThePlayr.com.ThePlayr T Shirt
