Manage your money well at FullTilt.com. If you are losing a lot of money, ask yourself if you have a problem. Set limits for your money. A monthly or weekly amount you promise not to go over. Most poker sites will help you if you feel you cannot set your own limits. Call the support line and tell them to only allow you to deposit a certain amount of money. Online sites often have their own limits on how many times you can deposit money in an hour. Try to keep in mind that you are playing a game. When players go on TILT they can make drastic moves and lose a large sum of money very quickly. While winning is better than losing, very few people can make a living at online poker. We have all heard stories from a friend of a friend who has made tens of thousands of dollars. It isn’t likely that many people would be making a lot of money because then we would all quit our day jobs and become professional online poker players. The best players can be beat by the worst, a four of a kind can get beaten, and you can lose a lot of money. While the integration of poker and the internet is in its early stages, the accessibility to action is second to none. A respect for the game of poker should be well adhered to during online play. Mental focus is important because it will not only help you be the best player you can be, but it will also keep your pride in check.
