Hi Steve Bets, I had a couple questions maybe you could make a short response?
I deposited money on poker stars and was wondering whats the best things to play for lower limits cash or tournaments? When you have a set should you check raise on the flop or wait till the river, or if theres a flush draw should you wait to check raise all in on the turn or flop?
Or not check raise ever? I have about $700 and was wondering whats best to play I seem to just get blinded out before I get a good flip to put my money in?

Hi m8 , i have been playing poker for almost 3 years and in the last 7-8 months it really started to click.Im cashing in tournamentand winning consistently in at cash games. I dream of giving up my job and playing for a living , i want to try it for 1 year at 1st but i estimate i need to raise about £10,000 before i can take the leap. £3000 for rent £2000 for bills £1500 for food and living stuffs and the rest would be my bankroll. I dont want to try it without having these things covered just incase. I used to dream of the big time and the millions but that can wait as i just want to be able to turn over my usual wage (minimum) for the month. came 2nd out of a field of 2000 plus on monday for $800 and won my second PLO tourney for $600 , ive just crashed out the $3.30 $3kgtd in 38th place from 2500 + . I know with these resluts and my cash game skills i can do it but getting the roll together to take the leap is proving very daunting. Ideally i’d play and play till i hit the required amount but i dont have the time or the sufficeint roll to play high ennough stakes it would take me a while at 5.10c / 10.25 . Every day i wake up i go to work at my casino i deal poker to people who i should be cutting up and it kills me. I want to go pro now . Can you offer any advice and any tips on how to get the £10,000 as quickly as possible. Is there anyone in the poker world who does loans for this kind of thing.

Steve, have you ever been told you look like that dude from the Sonic commercials? Also, as I was typing out the address to go to your blog, I realized “stevesbets” only requires the left hand. I’m thinking there’s some kind of motto you could use for your blog based on these facts, but I’m not sure what it is.
