Fake money = fail.

I play at Ultimatebet.com. I've tried a few other sites and have never liked any of them as much as Ub.

Hmmm a soon as I don't have 3 weeks to pay the bank a grand, I'll start looking at the real monies. Is it worth it? If you're half-decent are you likely to come out in the black?

No. The 3 million half-decent players sponsor the elite 5% players in the long run.
During the first half of this year I was earning pretty regularly. Right now I'm just one of those half decent players trying to grind a few bucks per hour.

I went through a massive losing streak about this time last year. I had been playing and doing pretty well for a while, got my bankroll up to a level it had never seen before. Then I was running bad for 3 weeks and lost all of my gains, plus some. It was so bad that I haven't played since. I really need to get back into the game. I keep meaning to play, but it doesn't happen. Maybe I'll play some on Friday. You gonna be around on Freitag, Mudster?
