Doing well on one site, and bad on another

[libCaliChic]

This is my first real post, other than my introduction, so hopefully you don't all rip me to shreds.
I'm playing on two sites, nordica and fulltilt. I am excited to have gotten a bunch of free money from full tilt, and added my own winnings from the first free ten dollars they gave me. I'm happy with my success there, it is small, and has been a lot of work, but I am happy anyway.
However, the same actions on nordica have not produced anything. On nordica I can't seem to get ahead at all, and now I'm down half my deposit, it's a small amount, but compared to full tilt, where I technically deposited nothing at all, it feels huge.

My first thought is there are fewer players on nordica, and I am often playing with the same people, so they caught on to how I play. Since I was playing short, my moves consisted mostly of betting preflop when I had a hand and shoving on a flop. But the reasoning doesn't seem to stand up when I look at what I'm losing with... KK, AK, AA, etc. I will get called preflop and the other person will either flop his set (which seems to always be a very low pair) or river me.

Maybe the type of people on one site are more likely to call? Maybe they are 'worse' players on one site than another?
So I'm back to thinking it's just luck, which is good one place and bad somewhere else.

There are differences in poker sites. Some games are easier to beat at some poker rooms than others. I guess it mostly comes down to traffic, I dunno. But hey... withdraw everything from Nordica and concentrate on FT if that's where you feel most at home.

Hi and welcome libcalichic.
Even pro's have a hard time with their bankroll. Up one minute, down the next. Keep it going on the game/site while it lasts, and switch when it's not. DON'T invest to big while you are building a cashflow, and enjoy the poker, not the money, for it will come if you're having fun, and not trying to hard.

You didn't really say how much you have played so far. Sometimes there are huge variances in poker and you can lose even if you are playing well. It sounds like you just started and you really need to play thousands of hands before you will know if you can be profitable in the long run. Personally I don't like the software on Nordica and I just feel more comfortable playing on Fulltilt because it looks better to me. You should keep playing and start tracking your results. Save your hand histories (there is an option in fulltilt to do this) and review them later. There are even sites where you can import your hand histories and the site will replay the hand for you to watch. Just play smart and don't go on tilt

I just started playing real money, I played (on yet another site) with play money until I got to a million chips, then with some coaxing and help from friends who play online I switched to real money.
About 1500 hands on full tilt, and I would guess 1000 on nordica. I know, that is almost nothing. But I still know I'm losing more on nordica, even if it is just normal variance. I don't think I tilt too much, if anything I feel like I don't care enough when I lose. I know sometimes you can have a better hand, get in with the best of it, and still lose. So it's hard to get really mad about losing right now, I find it amusing when I lose, that is just how it goes sometimes, right?

I do save my hand histories on both sites, not sure what to do with them yet though! lol
