I really don't know how loose things are at the online no limit games... I'm sure they can be quite tight at times. But, man, the no limit games at the casino really rock.

I tried it out a couple of times many moons ago... it was pretty amazing to have a session, where you pop up to $300 in a few hours. I went back the next day and lost much of it back.

So, now, I tried this 1/2 No Limit game... wow... I didn't quite make a lot, but the action is so much looser. They make check raises and call check raises quite liberally. Simply amazing. It's nice though, coming from a limit player, as you can really pick up player's hands much more easily... and the nice thing is that the suckout players can get their azz handed back to them in the same session! (You hand them back their azz, and you get back your chips plus some.) It's a much tougher thing to have happen at limit games. I watched grandma swell from an initial buy in of $200 to about $500, then go bust, and buy in for another...
