Had some good five days. Put in the volume for once, and cleared the $300 bonus. I also managed to win a 14 buyins. Have to say it's a pleasure to play on FTP (software wise).
Probably gonna move to PS on friday when I get my rakeback (which should be something around (900-300)*0,27 = 162!
Graph from FTP:
Roll is now $1900 (guess it's nice to double it in five days). I should also get around 160 in rakeback on friday, and in a couple of days around 200 ~ from last month's play at iPoker.
Planning to start at NL100 w/ 3k BR, hopefully in a week or two.
Anyway, for you guys playing NL50 at FTP I think the most important thing is to table select. Sitting with 5 other regulars (even if they are somewhat bad) is pretty unneccessary when you can find a seat on a table w/ fish. At iPoker it was kind of messy to change tables, but on FTP you only have to browse the list once in a while and taking the highest VPIP (and look for some random stack numbers like 39 dollars - usually a fish).

Doesnt bother you that you "have" to pay taxed on money won from ftp?
I know that at your stakes the risk to get busted is 0.1% but still, why play at a site where you have to pay tax when there are alot where you dont? (prima, ipoker, svenska spel, ongame and so on) |

i meant for him, since hes from sweden, we only have to pay tax on poker winnings outside of EU (which ftp and ps belong to). Everything won on sites inside is totally tax free so far (since poker is still consirered like a lottery and not a form of skill by swedish law) |

Legit question, but I'm not gonna stick at FTP (going to try PS now). And PS was located in Costa Rica before, but it was moved to Isle of Man, which has british dependancy (in others words - within EU).
I've have always played on euro-skins though, ipoker and prima mostly. But last couple of months have been really bad and I just needed a change. We'll see how long I stick to PS, cause it's pretty nice to have a 50-55 % flat rakeback rate always. |

Did some research a couple of years ago when is switched skins at ipoker, isle of man is for some reason not to be consired inside EU, because they have some own jurisdiction or something. I emailed skatteverket (in english irs i guess) about it and they said isle of man was not free from tax, gibraltar and malta however is (which most prima and ipoker skins are at). I know this is a grey area, and the risk if you dont win a big tournaments and cash out really big sums that skatteverket would do an investigation is really really low. Im just really paranoid about this myself and thats why i asked if you had thought about this. |
