I haven't been writing here much lately, because I haven't been playing much poker. Money has been tighter than normal recently, and I know I don't play well when that's the case. People use the term "scared money" to refer to that situation, and my money is pretty scared right now :)
One thing I have been meaning to mention, though, is the poker room that opened up a few months ago at BoDog. I've played there a number of times, and the low buy-in NLHE cash games have been crazy good. It's often the case that sites associated with online sportsbooks and casinos attract some real action junkies, and that's definitely been my experience at BoDog Poker. I like the software, as well, and I feel they are a very trustworthy operation. I've been placing bets through their sports book for some time now.
The big warning is that if you get in the really crazy games, you need to make sure you have enough bankroll to withstand the swings. I would want at least 20 times the max buy-in to play in those games, and more is better. You want to have enough so that there's not much of a sting if you lose a whole buy-in, or even several. It happens. Even if you're a 90% favorite on a hand where you're all in, that's still a 10% chance you'll get busted.
I'm hoping to write a more detailed review of the BoDog Poker site (and some other sites I recommend) at some point.
