3rd UB Royal Flush, 3rd Jackpot missed.

[PuckJunkieNY]

Last night I hit my 3rd one since mid December 2003. :D
What are the odds of that happening that often?
I mean I do play nearly every night so I see alot of hands, but still...

Unfortunatley I missed the UB Jackpot all 3 times...Arrghhh!
I was however fortunate to have two others go all in before me on the hand, so the pot was fat.

Do you play real money (like 2/4) or micro-limit/play money tables? If you hit the jackpot in the latter, you only get like $10, so it's not that big of a deal.

I was playing the micro-limit games. It's more of a pride thing that the actual $ jackpot, but $10-15 extra doesn't hurt either. I generally play a few tables at a time so not to get too bored playing tighter. I'll sit at .25/.50 or .25/.10 NL and even the .01/.02 NL at same time. I deposited $25 in early January and still play with it. I've run it up to $125 currently (As high as $155, and as low as $15), and have funded some SNG's and lower buy-in tourneys with winnings. I'm still getting my feet wet online and am weary to play larger limits untill I increase the roll a bit more. Online play is more for fun at this point anyway.

Maybe try moving up a limit and playing less than one table at at time?

It will improve your game and probably not cost you too much. If your gonna make money in the end you have to learn to play tight and deal with how boring it is.

Making money at micro limits is pretty much luck, not much skill as no one folds to a 2 cent raise.

Making money at higher limits when ou have the skill is more dependable.

How do I play "less than one table at a time" :D
Maybe a half a table? So, if I did a half of a 2/4, would it be like a 1/2?

Like I said about online...It's more for fun right now anyway for me. If I build up the existing Bank roll to $200-300 I'll jump up in limits. I do understand your point though about Micro-limits and agree mostly. It really depends on the particular table though. I'd deposit more of my own cash and play higher stakes, but the wife and I are shooting for a kid right now. There are health issues involved that force us to go the Invitro route.
Invitro = $$$....about 10K a try, and the average attempt before success is 2-3. So, my play $ is spoken for at the moment.

I appreciate the input though...thanks
