www.deucescracked.com I played online for a living for about a year and a half, and they're awesome.

  I've never been on deucescracked, but as a long-time acquaintance (and poker foe) of Joe Tall, DeathDonkey and Jay Rosenkratz, I'd be surprised if it wasn't good. I can still remember the exact moment back in 2002 or 2003 where I realized just how much than me better Joe Tall was. We were having a cigarette near the Foxwoods poker room and he reviewed the action on a few hands we'd just played in a 20/40 game, and he remembered them in more detail than me, but he also processed the detail differently to emphasize different aspects of my game. I was a winning player but after that night I stopped playing for a month, did nothing but study books, analyze hands and sessions, and grind out math to see if some of my assumptions about lines against various hand ranges were correct. After that I got a lot better, jumped limits, and ended up meeting DeathDonkey in a 100/200 game at Commerce and again realized I was outclassed. I'd say I owe them a debt of gratitude, but I'm pretty sure I already paid it at the tables.

    Hi Bapanda, I likely know who you are but not exactly from the story. Thank you so much for the comments. Hope all is well and you are still grinding and working. -Joe

      Didn't expect a response from you! All is excellent, except for the fact that I'm east coast now and the mixed game and limit game selection around here is worse than terrible. Seriously though, I meant what I said about the debt of gratitude. Massive thanks.

Two Plus Two forums are not a bad place. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/ http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/

  I was playing poker for a while and I actually found Flop Turn River to be an awesome place to go and read about the game. It's a smaller community than Two Plus Two, but there are also way less trolls, and some amazing meta game discussion if you ever get up to some Mid Stakes + cash games. Check it out. http://www.flopturnriver.com http://www.flopturnriver.com

What are some good (cross platform, decent clients, low cheating, good for n00bs) online poker websites? EDIT: I mean poker playing websites.

  By websites I'm assuming you mean places to play poker. Full Tilt and Poker Stars are the most common if you're in the US. Two Plus Two is probably the most popular poker forum. There's also a few subscription based training sites like CardRunners, Deuces Cracked, etc. Steve Silverman is a coach (although he doesn't put out many videos) at leggopoker.com.
