The path to poker glory in today’s online wonderland does not lie in cash games and it doesn’t go through sit-and-gos. Sure, you can win some money with these activities – enough to sustain your poker cravings and maybe even draw enough extra income for that 42-inch plasma screen the wife wants. But for real money, life-changing money – what James Clavell famously called ‘f ♠ ♦ ♣ you’ money (because it lets you tell the boss where to go) – you’re probably going to need to get involved in the massive full-field online tournaments where, if you win, you could trouser a truly life-changing chunk of money.
