*** Mo' Money May Chat Thread ***

[ChuckTs]

I think I'm off stars for good. Thanks to jurn for the rakeback guy, he's setting me up to be a bonus whore for the rest of my career.

Currently on gnuf clearing 1k bonus, supposed to be on expekt for massive RB but their rep is taking forever. But the player pool is horrible on gnuf, and if I can run good one time I just might make some money.

gogogogogo me

One of the benifits of being a bonus whore Chuck, is that playing feck all volume and reaping the benifits of previous months play pwns. Raked hands freerolls, and other bonus crap. Problem is i have to get off my ass for the rest of the month now. Still though, counting the massive amount of live play ive put in so far, first half of May is $3K and counting.

if the magic blow this game now, i'm self-banning myself from CC for a week

 

[switch0723]

ffs, i am running so ridiculously bad at 100nl. Of course i am making some rookie mistakes like thinking a full house is a good hand, thinking top and bottom pair + flush draw is a good hand, and not putting a 3 in the range of someone in a 3bet pot on a J33 board

 

[dsvw56]

This is starting to get really really ridiculous . . .

 

[blankoblanco]

orlando magic please play a good game 1 fkn time

booooooooooom, ship the game 7 in boston!!

this one's for you vanq

 

[StormRaven]

Gratz on the royal silver!!! VN!!!

I might be able to post graphs soon - woot! Just finished my trial version of HEM, gonna download PT3 tomorrow and try that out and see which one I like best. Definitely gonna purchase one of them. It was so nice to see my graphs for the first time ever. I think it'll really change my game and motivate me even more. So different than keeping an excel list vs seeing the graph in HEM.

Sucks about the break in McCluskey - best of luck to you in finding a safer place or Australia!

Stud 8 was cool this weekend...

 

[vanquish]

i'm a sighbox

first of all combuboom u admitted that u gave up on your team so when they win you're not allowed to celebrate unless you're willing to admit that you're a gutless lil piece of poop


secondly today i spilled soda on my laptop and it froze and now it will not turn on, so i have no ability to play poker/do anything/i think i lost all my files/**** my life

 

[blankoblanco]

only 'cause i thought the NBA was rigged and david stern/the refs were not going to let boston lose a game 7 in boston against a team that nobody outside of florida cares about. but the refs actually, shockingly, called a pretty fair game, i will give them that. i still watched and rooted regardless. good enough, fool

oh and hedo turkoglu's alter-ego, the michael jordan of turkey, showed up.

fwiw are you gonna become an actual fan in the next series or just be a self-hating pessimism-box when the magic play the cavs?


re: you were resigned to the cavs massacring the celtics before game 6 of celts-magic, so i imagine you're going to be 3 different types of preemptive sad about the series before you even get a chance to see the two teams play, right?

Pretty much my feelings right there Chuck. I've run pretty horrible there all year, but nothing could come close to how I run this month. Gonna try FT for a month or two, then I'm gonna go full steam ahead in bonus whore mode.

Your seat selection sucks imo.

Taken from a 2p2 article about table selection, just abit more info for the SS to the left or right debate

I'm at the table, what to do now?

So you've done good, you picked out a good table with a high percentage of players to the flop, plenty of fuller stacks, and mostly unknown players. We grab our seat, were all done right? NO! Finding a table to sit at is only half the battle. The next thing we want to do is make sure we have a decent seat at this table. Things that make a good table imo:

-Any SS'ers to our left
-Aggro Regs across from us
-Fishy players/Maniacs to our direct right

Quote:
-Any SS'ers to our left
We've all been there, we open the button with 67s only to have a SS 3bet shove and now we have to fold. I think at the lower levels having the SS to your right is best so that you can keep your normal opening range. Also, if the player is a bad non reg type SS he will make things much more difficult for you postlfop as they are more likely to just call preflop and put you in an awkward multi way spot.

Sweet glad you got a deal done dude!! Was wondering if you had a deal or not lol

nah, we match up pretty well vs. the cavs. we took the season series 2-1 fwiw, i think it will be a good series. if i were to bet even money, i would bet cavs because lebron is ridiculous and i'm not stupid, but i think we have a solid chance

btw i'm not pessimistic, i'm realistic

OMG, waiting for funds from Stars to clear in my bank so I deposit on FT is just a pain in the ass! I'm bored!

Use neteller, imo.

 

[Jagsti]

Use neteller, imo.

How long does it take to withdraw from stars into neteller, then deposit from net to FT?

 

[BelgoSuisse]

10 seconds.

Well, it depends if stars security needs to validate the withdrawal or not, i.e. if you withdraw more than you deposited.

What do you do Belgo when you want to withdraw back to your bank account, do you use net 1st then transfer from neteller into bank account (if so whats there exchange rate, I mean how does it compare with withdrawing directly form FT to bank say?) or do you just withdraw straight into your bank account?

neteller -> bank costs 2.5% in exchange fee + $10 or something like that.

If I'm reading what you quoted correctly, that is one guy agreeing with me (SS on left) and one agreeing with you (SS on right), correct???

A good shortstack on your left will prevent you from iso-raising the fishes and destroy the goodness of the table. A good shortstack on your right is merely a slight nuisance.

But tbh, a good deep player on your left is even worse.

The PS concierge scheme:

Buy something expensive, scan the receipt, send it to PS, they concierge it for you, then you return the item, keep PS's cash, and get the best $/fpp rate for the whole thang.

Anyone see any problems with it?
