Dear Friend,

       If you've ever played at the middle limit texas holdem tables in California or Vegas, you may know me simple as "Blue Ace David".  I play in the 15-30, 20-40, and 30-60 limits.

Despite beating the game for $45-60 per hour (depending on the limit), poker was only a hobby and side income for me. There just weren't enough games available at these stakes for someone like me to put in 8+ hours a day.

Sure, the game was great on weekends and usually for a couple hours a night during the swing shift, but I couldn't squeeze in 40-hours per week of playing time.  And even if I could, it would most certainly mean having no life as I would have to live at the poker room every night 7-9pm and on weekends.

And even if I wanted to sacrifice my quality of life, I would still be hard pressed to make more than $60/hr which was less than my current income at the time of $140,000 as a corporate VP.

Then I Discovered Online Poker Rooms,
 

Some of these online poker rooms are simply the #1 place to play online, hands down.  They always have a good game even if it's 3am in your time zone.  This is because while it's 3am your time, it's 5pm somewhere else in the world!

There are over 200,000 simultaneous live players playing right now!  More players means more idiots who have no idea how to play. We call them fish and they will make you rich!

But wait, it gets better... Over a $1,000,000 dollars has been given away via the bad beat jackpots with a recent winner winning over $180,000.

Now before we dive into HOW to beat the game, let me tell you a bit about the WHY's...

Let Me Tell You WHY Online Poker Rocks!

One major benefit of online play is that instead of charging you the full $3 rake that most "Brick & Mortar" (B&M) card rooms do, the online card rooms will charge you only a % of the pot similar to how they do it in Nevada.  It sucks when you win a $10 pot at a B&M and they rake $3 from the pot!  In fact, if the pot is small at the online rooms they will rake nothing.

In addition to reduced rake...

• You don't have to tip the dealer online.  Well, in theory you don't have to at B&M's either but it's common courtesy to tip when you win a pot.  When you add up the # of pots you win per hour, not having to toke the dealer really ads up!  This alone doubles your win rate at most low limit games!
  
   
• You get 2x to 2.5x the # of hands per hour!  This depends on how fast your table is but the general rule of thumb is you are dealt at least 2x the # of hands online vs. live play.  That's at least 60 hands per hour (with averages of 75-85 hands per hour not uncommon if you don't have too many newbies at the table).  What does this mean?  This means if you are a profitable poker player at B&M card rooms, you can be at least twice as profitable switching to online play, not to mention all the tokes you didn't have to give the dealer.
  
   
• You can multi-table!  This is the biggest leverage of all.  I play between 4-6 tables at the same time.  I've even multi-tabled with 8-tables but I only do it for a short period of time just because it can be too much stimulus, but some people can play 8-tables consistently for hours at a time!  With 6 tables, I'm getting 12-15x more hands per hour than I could in a B&M card room!   To be conservative, I'm going to use 8x as the multiple for the rest of this discussion.  This is based on my own personal, conservative stats of playing 4-tables and getting dealt 2x the # of hands as live play.
   

So now you know WHY you benefit by switching from live to online play... let's see WHY you benefit playing an ONLINE opponent vs. a LIVE opponent....

Why You Have a HUGE Advantage
Playing Against Other Online Players!

• Live players tend to have "tells" that you can exploit to make an extra bet when you have the best hand, or save a bet when you know you are behind.  It turns out that online players have even MORE tells than live players because online players aren't trying to "hide" their tells.  They think you can't see their tells when they are sitting behind a keyboard, so they become even MORE OBVIOUS!

• Online players tend to be more passive and become "calling stations" because there is no embarrassment to show a bad hand as in live play.  Unfortunately for them, in Texas Holdem poker you need to be aggressive to dominate the game.  Online players will be a bit more aggressive because they aren't as intimidated.
  2 : 0 for online poker
  
   
• Online play allows you to take NOTES of how your players behave.  You can know their raising standards; cold-calling standards (cold-calling is when you call for 2 or more bets -- it usually means you have something good or are a total idiot for calling 2-bets, and also, if it's good enough to call 2-bets, why didn't you raise?); how often they call all-the-way to end; their check-raising standards (where you check and then raise after the person after you bets); and other general information on the player's skill level. 
  3 : 0 for online poker
  
   
• Online play allows the beginning player to look at STUDY MATERIALS (i.e. a "cheat sheet") as they fine tune their game.  New players can use starting hand charts until the game becomes second nature to them.  Understanding starting hand requirements alone can put you in the top 90% of all online poker players!  
  4 : 0 for online poker
  
   
• Online play allows you to MEASURE & DETECT your weaknesses (called "leaks").  Every card room allows you to request your "hand history" and you can see exactly which hands you played well or poorly by looking at statistics over several thousand hands.  Maybe you are playing marginal or losing hands but don't even know it.  It's hard to take some "expert's" word that playing two big cards like KT may be bad, but if after 20,000+ hands your stats show you are losing playing KT- then you know that is a weakness.  The software available to analyze your hand histories displays very granular details on the hands you play, your table position, raised vs. unraised pot, the # of players in the hand, your raising standards, calling standards, showdown %, and lots more!

• Online play allows you to play DISINTERESTED reducing the potential for "tilt".  Poker can be an emotional game, but the trick is to NEVER GET EMOTIONAL.  It's hard, especially in the beginning.  For example, you have the best hand with one card to come, and on the last card (called "the river"), an idiot caught the ONE card in the deck he needed to beat you.  While improbable, this does happen.  TILT is the biggest leak that ALL players must master.  When you go on "tilt" you start playing poor cards and raise/call irrationally. TILT happens to the most seasoned pro.  Online play allows you the luxury to play "disinterested" by multi-tasking.

The Intangible Benefits of Online Play!

• Online play allows you to do other things while playing.  I can pay my bills, write emails, cruise message forums, do investing & sports handicapping research, etc.  What I will do is play fewer tables during my "multi-tasking" period.

• Tax advantages.  Your online winnings aren't subject to auto payroll deductions.  If you are net positive for the year, it is your responsibility to file taxes.  But this is YOUR burden and not auto deducted by your employer. 
  8 : 0 for online poker
   

But Most Important Of All...

• You can make a living playing online poker!  Until the online poker revolution, to make a living at poker you had to play at least 30/60 or higher in a live card room.  But there aren't many 30/60 games available (usually only during prime time evenings and weekends).  If you stepped down to 20/40 or 15/30, you'd only make an average wage, and again, you have to play when the games are good and that kills your evenings and weekends.  With online poker, you can put in 40, 60, 80, even 100-hours per week if you desire and there are always players available WORLD WIDE!  In addition, you can be an AVERAGE PLAYER online and still make a great living!  Whereas if you were just "average" and played 20/40 or 30/60 in a live game you would have a tough time winning.

P.S.  Don't waste your time purchasing any of the online "e-books" that claim they will reveal secret insider poker techniques for $59.95 or whatever.  If the authors were a true online poker pro they could be crushing the game like me for over $100/hr.

Many of my active students are averaging over $50/hr at the low limit tables and they haven't even finished all 14-Lessons yet!
