Haven't posted a blog in quite a long time... actually I haven't really commited to poker for a while now. The break was good though. Got to focus on school and whatnot. Anywho, all I played was NL25 FR and SH.
Back to back winning days at the micro MTT's. I can't be sure about this, but I would say these multi entry MTT's on FTP cut down on variance big time. Made my third final table in the last 2 days with another 5th or 6th place finish(can't remember) to go with a 5th and a 6th from yesterday.
Double guarantee weeks starts tomorrow so that should be good. I heard every tourny will be multi entry, although that may have been a joke/rumor.
I was down to 60 chips in the 1000FTP black card Satty to 750k with K7 in the big blind and ended up winning a seat. That was pretty sick. These satties are so deceiving, I was in 11th out of 40 with the top 36 getting a seat, and thought I could easily fold my way to a seat. It ended up working but I was 35th out of 36 when the tourny ended. This may have just been due to the fact that some guy went all in every hand with like 200BB when everyone else had 2-6 BB.
Not sure if they changed this or it only applies to the blackcard sattelites or something. I have to play in the 750k? I can't sell it for tourny dollars. Ive won a bunch of these and was never given a ticket, I was always automatically registered, and then I could unregister for T$.
Thanks for reading, let me know if this post was boring and what I could do to make it better.
I have a friend that is getting into poker. He already deposited without talking to me so he just has a deposit bonus and no rb. What effective rb % is he getting right now (with just the bonus)? Just curious as to how much he's potentially missing out on.
Does anybody know what % affiliates actually receive? I think it's somewhere around 33% but it could be a little/much higher. All I know is I'm only getting the flat 27% and feel unsatisfied about it (but am pretty much committed due to 12+ Iron Man months).
I heard that he can apply for cashback from FTP so I had him send an email asking, but any information about other options would be good too.
Ladies and gentlemen! Update: vpps are at 169K...pace is 220K...still 50K behind. Here is the current situation: To win prop bet, I have to get 14,555 vpps per day everyday from here till end of the month.
That will take 13-14 hours a day. Still possible, but it's gonna be very, very hard. Made ~1.6K yesterday, total profit at tables for the year is ridic and chilling at +$500.
That's it! Gotta run and get this started. Happy Sunday!
Poopy
Need a roommate in Atlantaby ChrisKim47, January 23
Was looking at a 2 br apt, at howell mill/collier intersection (exit 250). Going for 500 per person and trying to move in March-April. Just thought I'd see if a poker player was interested.
Didn't get much volume in. Combination of busy, ran bad so didn't feel motivated, and getting back into Black Ops all factored into that. Don't feel like I played bad really, I need to not ever play the On Demand Rush tourneys ever again, not nearly as profitable as the 90 mans and yeah, I just spew.
34 played
down 128
ABI was over 10 this time, which is nice to see that I'm able to play these without a terrible doomswitch.
Actually, I'm running at about 30 percent ROI in just 13 dollar 90 mans. Small sample but still, I'm not noticing a big increase in good play, just a few people that I see alot more often. So yeah, its w/e.
I've been working on some of the math for like 3betting ranges with my friends, feel like its really going to help my game out.
Meh, back on the grind I suppose, I hope to put in more volume tomorrow than I did all last week, sooooo run good me...
Ok now I think I'm doing it wrongby whamm!, January 22
very sick coolers just as im starting to get comfortable playing again.
money's getting to me since my diminishing life roll is getting coolered left and right as well.
cant play on a stake since ive lost two stakes given to me last time.
cant risk any more uploads (refer to 2nd sentence)
ditched website plans for now, learned new stuff that can buy me a pair of shoes at best
wasted time taking a break just chilling, zero income for 4 months, past mediocre poker game is now below par and close to vinniepooh status
i got more kids, less money, no skill less time (im 38 atm)
Really going to try not to open any 1/2 tables until Feb 1. Getting too old to keep dumping all my income running bad and getting tilted and demotivated and shit.
I've been playing 25nl rush poker for the last 6 days or and with rakeback I'm up like 2 BI. The good news is I have black card status now, the bad news is that I didn't make much money. I've decided to go back to MTT's once and for all. My plan was always to go back to MTT's after I grinded up my BR a bit with cash games, but I've decided its easier to make money at micro MTT's than it is at micro cash games.
I also installed the 30 day trial of table ninja and it is amazing. I went from playing 8 tables max to playing 12-16 tables routinely now. I've also played a bunch of multi entry tournaments today and they are a great addition by FTP. Heres my results for today. I'm going to post results daily if possible, weekly if I get lazy.
Hello everybody. It has been awhile since I put up a serious blog post, partially cause I've been embarrassed with my results. However, things are going in the right direction and I'm looking forward to future possibilities.
Full Tilt Progress
My primary focus this month was to put in a fairly large volume of full ring NL 10. My winrate is not a good as I would like it to be and I really felt like I tilted a lot of times and could have easily prevented some losses. Almost all of these hands are NL 10. However, I have recently started easing into NL 25 but playing most tables of NL 10 and adding a few NL 25 tables with it in order to be comfortable, prevent massive tilt, and try to play the same for both stakes. Haven't put up a huge NL 25 sample yet but I will consistently do this mixing until I feel comfortable enough to completely make the switch. Results so far this month. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz...eddar/rushforjanuary.png?t=1295747304
discovering HU
Got some inspiration from edzwoo on trying out HU. I've never tried it cause I don't have a roll to full stack $50. Edzwoo gave some examples of how HU winrate can be higher because it's 1v1 between you and a huge fish vs the huge fish at one big full ring table. Had like $25 on stars for tourneys and stuff and decided to degen it up and give this stuff a shot. Here's what happened. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz.../shortstackdegening2.png?t=1295747588
Obviously running like god. So now when I'm bored from mass tabling on full tilt I just go hit and run some retards on stars.
Still got plenty of time this month to keep doing great and am looking forward to future progress in all areas of poker. Looking forward to making the complete transition from NL 10 to NL 25 on full tilt and building up a big enough roll to buy in for more at stars HU.
ok update yesterday we ended about +$2K...a nice lil turn around. 16 tabled only though bc my confidence was low after the first 2 days of prop bet and losing $7k. VPPs are at 158.5K...to get to 300K by end of Jan. 31st, we need ~14K per day...which is still gonna be about 12-13 hours a day everyday...
This is possible! Happy Saturday everyone, gl at the tables today! We will be live all day at http://www.justin.tv/pokerpoopy
Full Tilt announced that you could no longer play on their site from within the State of Washington back on November 10th of 2010. At that time I put in for a bank transfer for the bulk of my bankroll, at which time I was told processing would take 10-15 business days . . . .
After about 20 business days I inquired to when I might see my funds, and was told "we are experiencing problems with our 3rd party payers, and it is taking longer than 15 business days . . . "
No idea how long, repeated e-mails received the same reply. Days became weeks, weeks have become months, and I got nothing but "rest assured your funds are safe . . . "
On January 5th I received an e-mail from them saying that "the situation is resolved . . ." and that they would now be sending me a check. Ok, at least that is something, but still no check.
Not only no check, but no reply to e-mails, other than "we received your e-mail and a representative will get back to you shortly . . . "
For three days now, that is what I get. They aren't even replying to me.
The internet poker community as a whole should take note of this, and realize that if it can happen to me over a relative small amount of money, it could happen to any of you over thousands of dollars.
One of the main excuses our government gives to justify prohibitions on internet poker is that companies could default on our money, and it seems to me that Full Tilt is doing it's best to prove them right. There is no action I can take, other than post this info on the forums to make everyone aware that Full Tilt dissolving and making off with your money is a very real possibility, in fact a probability that at some point they will be forced from the US market altogether and will go away with YOUR MONEY! Everyone with money on account with Full Tilt should be concerned with this situation.
It is worth noting that when Pokerstars took similar action, there was no problem getting my money at all.
