I am getting a lot of success on online poker games; I am starting to feel that in general online poker players are weaker than live games at casino poker rooms, and it is more profitable to play poker online at home rather than playing at Macau every week.

I play online for three hours today, and I find that I can accumulate chips just like a good player does, and I can demonstrate some of the poker skills that I learn in the last few months. Maybe I am just lucky to sit with a few weak players, but I can consistent gather chips from them. What a good feeling.

My moment of glory come later in the day when I have queen-jack suited, and they keep calling my raises. When the jack on the river landed my full house, I move all in, and as I predicted, my two rivals call. I win the three way all in and more than $5000 in profit. For the first time in history, I am actually ahead and making money with my online poker gaming account.

I do not know what they are thinking, maybe it just happens that they decide to play jack-ten or jack-nine and it is not their day, but if they do not even have top pair, why are they playing their hands and keep calling me? I read in a poker magazine some months ago that you do not need to be the best poker player in the world in order to be profitable in this game; you just have to be better than the players on your table.

Which is exactly what I do: I have added these players onto my buddies list. From now on every time I log on I will know where my buddies are playing. Maybe this is an easier way to the road of fortune rather than learning from my poker mistakes. That is what friends are for.
