First post on this forum, I've enjoyed reading the various posts about hands and strategies.

I regularly (2 or 3 times a week) play live casino games with blinds of 2-2-5, 5-10, and 10-25- no limit hold em and also pot limit omaha. I typically buy in for 700 to 1000 dollars for the 2-5 and 5-10 and 2500 dollars in the 10-25 blind game.

The biggest pots I have won have been in Omaha (biggest pot was about 13,000). The biggest gain in 1 day has been 11k and the biggest lost in 1 day has been 4800.

My bankroll fluctuates, but I can't consisently win for whatever reason- although currently my bankroll is at all time high. Some weeks I'll run bad and give back several thousand dollars. Would you consider me a high stakes player compare to most here or a medium stakes? I've played online for fake money, but I fear of getting addicted to the online poker, so thus far I've stayed away from it. It seems the games online are looser and a faster paced with a lot more bad beats. Am I losing value in not playing online?

I play in Detroit, Michigan (greektown/motorcity) and also the canadian casinos just across the border. Are there any players from Detroit on here? Thanks for any replies.
