Didn't she look powerful in the body the other day? I wondered if she would come up as well as before but as soon as I saw her walking around I knew the answer.

So macs, he's not just on a heater? He plays good most of the time or did he just get lucky in a tournament or something?

All good and sound advice posted here.

Above it's start with a minimum $2,000.

Walks away when he loses it fine.

You also have to have a maximum whether it be ,
Hours played, hands played, etc ( i am not a poker player).

Put into a punting perspective there has to be a maximum winning amount you will stop at.

What if he started with the $2,000 at one stage was the 75,000,
In front then gave it all back ?.

Like having $100.00 to start with on the 1st of 8 races,

You continue all up backing all the winners up to race=7,
Then wacking the lot into the last race to see it go down by,
A nose, sure you only lost the initial $100.00 but what amount,
Could you have been up at the 7th race.

So for me not understanding the poker just the staking,
There has to be a minimum ("AND A MAXIMUM")
Be it money won, no's of hands or hours played etc.

Re read Betons qoute on money earnt money kept etc.

And good on you Macs for realizing the ability and,
Possible demise if the situation is not addressed.

Good luck with it all.

Cheers.

"So macs, he's not just on a heater? He plays good most of the time or did he just get lucky in a tournament or something?"

He's always been good at turning a few dollars in to good money TO but he's never been able to keep it.

Thanks Garyf, much appreciated, he hasn't read any of this as yet as he's playing again and I can't really believe what's happening. I just watched this kid go up against one guy with a 45K pot and win, he's now up to 98K within less than 30 hours.

Another point that has to be considered is the elephant in the room.
He is playing online, He is winning and he has not tried to withdraw his winnings. He should be able to withdraw his money at any time. But then again he may not be able. Leaving all of it there will leave it all at risk. There are more players in the game than those that are playing poker. It is better to remove some on a constant basis than allow somebody suddenly say you can't take any. Very few people actually don't mind paying out large amounts, but it is against human nature. While it is on the table or in their account they have total control and total ownership of your money and like a bank treat it as their own.
In business I have handled some quite large amounts and I have always found the same adage. Greater the amount- more you have fight to get it into your own bank.

Spot on beton. Getting it out can be a trick.
Good on you for looking out for him too macs.

Thanks Beton, we've already contacted 888 this evening to find out where he stands. Looks like they have Mr. Shane Warne advertising for them so you'd hope you can get your money.

Has to be a bit of good advertising for them surely, young Aussie kid makes 100 grand in a day! He was up to 105.

What's he playing? What are the stakes?

You said he started with $50 and he is now playing 40k pots??

Are you sure he isn't playing with play money? This is a real money table?

If he HAS made that in 1 day then he is on a heater. No doubt about that. I would stop RIGHT NOW and try and withdraw some of it. See how you go.

Having played online poker for a while now in a heck of a lot of rooms (I was what you call a bonus whore) I reckon I always went well when first starting out in a room (and also when I returned after being away for a long time). But, when I played the same room each night, I noticed the cards started to turn and you would always be losing those hands that you were winning in the beginning. Always getting beaten by bad beats.

It was probably just me but, hey, that's what seemed to happen.

LoL TO, it's real money. He ended up at 96K for the day, he's stopped now. We'll see how it goes to get his funds.

I'm glad he's stopped for the day and I hope Warney's not using some of your son's winnings on Liz.

What was he playing? Was he moving up the stakes levels after he won plenty on the previous levels?
