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???

nope any SSers on your left part is saying that if there is any on your left then this doesnt make a good table.

Chuck are you playing all those bonus whoring little sites without HUD/tracker ?

That's not the way it reads to me. Maybe I need to see the entire post.

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

Post a link or PM me with it. Post number would be nice too so I don't have to read 700 pages.

so far I've only done microgaming and ipoker, both of which are not only supported by hem but have betpot and table scanning stuff that actually works.

Don't think I could survive without stats if I was playing anything more than 2 tables.

Thanks. Just read it. The way he posted that whole section is weird. He basically contradicts himself on the SS right or left thing. Odd.

Anyway I'll still agree with the post further down the page (post 18) from the Stox coach.

best advice in that thread is: start your own tables.

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?

Nah thats fine.

Or if you have an old receipt for something (that you haven't concierged before) then scan it in, change the date and hey presto.

so far I've only done microgaming and ipoker, both of which are not only supported by hem but have betpot and table scanning stuff that actually works.

Pretty sure Ipoker supported on HEM now afaik.

how do you find your winrate out vs shortstackers?

Agreed.

BTW have you noticed that the number of deep tables is still way off what it was before the software update that basically killed them? I'm barely able to get 8 tables some nights during peak hours. I guess the fishes have figured out how to sort out the deep tables or maybe it's the icon that's scaring them away.

sigh im just going to play 50nl for the rest of the month, since i make $35-40/hr playing that which is much more satisfying than losing $200 an hour playing 100nl

Probably the icon.

And yes, it's not as good as it used to be. I try to play before peak hours, in the build up, so that people join the tables i start. it's also a good idea to join all the waiting lists so that the fishes see long queues and are more likely to join your shorthanded tables.

Looks like Stars is doing away with the clearing requirement for the cash bonuses, which is long overdue imo. I recently completed a survey in which I made this my main gripe with stars..... Pity I cashed out my f'kin roll b/c of perma-doomswitch. Still, I have 215k vpps to cash so looks like I'll be able to do that next month.

WOW - and they're adding a new cash bonus - 200k vpps = $3.2k ship it!

 

[Monoxide]

Ummm i dunno, i dont notice too much difference about the deep tables. They are still reg loaded, like I can always remember them being, and I can still open 9-12 of them... given it takes some time.

Were there really that many deep tables before? i cant remember....

Used to be I could actually table select a little between ~15 tables at 50nl. Now at 100nl I'm lucky to find 8 running and sometimes when I try to start a new table no on sits for 30 minutes.

What stakes are you playing and at what time(s)?

Well if it's any consolation (and I know it's not) they wouldn't have warrantied for a spill anyway.

Have you taken it apart yet?

Even if the CPU/MB is fried the HD may be salvageable which means no data loss.

Wish you nothing but good luck.

The not so terrible news is a new machine is really not that terribly expensive nowadays.

You play 50nl HU right? Or thereabouts?

Best of luck getting this one back up and running!
