limit cash games, probably just because this is what i play the most.

when i can play nl, i like to, but i cant play it too much. i just dont have the stomach for the swings. i find that i can generally win big in those games, but the converse is also true.

Default 6 of one, half dozen of the other

My 2/4 game at Party is very reliable. If I sit and play smart at the end of the night I should be up 1 - 2 BB an hour. I rarely lose more than 25% of my buy-in, especially if I'm willing to extend the session long enough for things to turn back around if I go down early.

The $25 NL games can be much more profitable. There have been nights when I tripled up in one hand. But losing most if not all of my buy-in happens more often than it should.

The $10 SNGs are fun, but not as profitable as the ring games for me.

Most Profitable a tie between the NL cash games and
the limit $4/8 on UB (the annie duke table with the cheap blinds).

Lately I have lowered myself down to the $.10/.25 NL on Stars, or the
$.25/.50 NL on Party.... Less stress, less thinking.... Wait for Nuts, push all-in collect..... wait for nuts, push all-in, collect.... boring as hell, but it pays off.

Somebody already mentioned it, but geeze I can't believe some of the crap people will call you down with. I hold Ah-Xh Flop Kh-Jh-4h Turn 2h I push all-in after he decides to raise quite a bit and he calls. River 8c
He flips up Jc-3s or some crap like that..... What the hell are they thinking????
I must be a charity case or something, they just give me money.

I make most of my profit in home games and then lose it all online

To be honest, I play at UB, I always make sure I got plenty of Bonus $s, and I'll simply join a table first or second. Those ultimate points add up quickly, especially with a loose table, so even when I fold (the points give me extra incentive to play tight), I still earn points to convert my bonus $s. Very often, I'll fold an entire orbit and earn more in bonus $s than my antes were.
