how did you deposit more money then you have?

Sounds like he didn't deposit more money than he has, but he's written some checks that will put him well in the hole after they've cleared.

That $15 is just the beginning. You are forgetting about all the hours wasted playing.

I don't understand how this can happen. Don't play such high tables! Start at the bottom and work my way up. I've played a couple thousand hands on $12 over at Absolute Poker, playing the .02/.04 tables, learning the ropes. :thumbsup:

Just FYI Nik, the .02/.04 tables teach you absolutely nothing. People call play like total clods and it's very difficult to win because people play every single hand they get so you inevitably end up losing to some dumbass that makes his inside straight on the river with 8/4 offsuit.

You start getting semi-decent play where you learn at about the .50/1 tables.

Bet all your money against the 49ers straigth up next week. Its a guaranteed victory.

im not a usual 20/40 player. I just went a little crazy. 5/10 is my game, or 3/6 omaha if im feeling in the mood.

Never, ever play a game with a house edge (unless you're casino whoring then it's OK as long as you follow the rules).

Stick with poker if you can win with poker. Play blackjack when and ONLY when casino whoring.

if you are addicted, just gamble with less money. then you can play more often

 

[TallBill]

Wow.. good luck recovering from that one. And I felt weird about spending $13 on a round for magic the gathering online.

What is casino whoring?

Basically it works something like this:

1) You deposit money (say $100)
2) They "give" you $100
3) You meet the wagering requirements (say $1000) to clear the money they gave you
4) You walk away with whatever you have left

The math goes something like this:

$100 + $100 = $200 account balance
$1000 wagering requirement * house edge (something like 0.5% for perfect strategy blackjack) = $5 that you expect to lose

You walk away with $200 - $5 = $195

Now the really profitable way is to play really small bets (to minimize variance) until you're close to your wagering requirements... Say play $1 a game for 900 hands, at which point (in theory) y ou'll expect to have roughly $196 of your money left. Then you switch to large bets (say $25/hand) to finish off the remaining $100 of wagering requirements. The goal is to profit from the times variance swings your way, & lose (essentially) nothing when it doesn't. Sometimes you'll lose the $100 they gave you in four $25 bets & walk away with a net loss of a few dollars, but other times you'll end up WAY up.

Done properly it can be VERY profitable, & it can even be taken a step further & played for either bust out (a loss of $400 of your money) or a huge cashout. Depending on the specific game being played & the amount of bonus they give you it works out something like 3 times out of 4 you'll lose all your money, but 1 time out of 4 you'll end up with enough to cover your three losses + quite a bit more.

Look around the web for more info, there are specific formulas to figure out what your target cashout is, the ideal bet size to use, your risk of ruin, etc. The math does support it, but it is very high variance - You might lose 10 deposits in a row.
