Yea, I hear you entirely. I used to think I knew how to play hold'em.
Than I read about 3 books and played many, many hands, placed 3rd and 7th
in 4 b&m tourneys. I started out playing the $2-$4 upon my return, I'm up
about $150 for about 6 hours of play.
I have won about $2200 on Golden Palace Poker and they never have over
3000 players in peak times and their tourneys suck. I have played UB,
Party, PokerS, River belle, Pacific, Paradise, Full Tilt and Paradise. I
really have no favorite, where do you think is the best place to play? Or
moreover where do you play? Just curious.
