***March Megalomania Poker Chat Thread***

figured it out.

OK, this question has probably been asked about 100 times before but what is the best way to spend FPPs on Stars? Those sunday two hundred grand satellites are ok, eleven dollars and seem pretty easy. Any others?

Thanks in advance.

Unless you make enough to play the 5400 FPP satellites to the SM fairly regularly, the 210's are your best option, imo.

Since Feb 1:

I think I may be having a bit of a problem moving up!

Looks like you're making progress. If I remember correctly you were down more than that at 100NL a little while ago

Unfortunately no. I am still down a lot more than that at 100nl overall, but this is just since Feb. 1. Since I started trying 100nl in November it's like -$2400. I'm back to 50nl right now and I'm nearly back to 35BIs for my next shot at 100nl. I can hardly wait!

For those of you that were curious a page ago:

1. Yes HEM supports tourneys now. Download the latest patch update from their forums. After you install the patch it is HIGHLY recommented you perform a manual maintenance on your database.

2. BW - the odds of flopping a flush are 1 in 100 when holding 2 cards of the same suit if memory serves ... so the odds of 3 people ?!?

Man March is turning its back on me ......

 

[c9h13no3]

hey guys, first month playing strictly 25nl for me, getting the hang of it slow but steady.
how's my graph for a first timer?

Anything positive is good. You can't tell if anyone has any leaks or is a good player by looking at their graph. Its just something we post to show-off/bitch about.

 

[ChuckTs]

If you go under cash games there is a preflop cards tab.

You can look at each starting hand individually there and see the total results.

not sure if there is a way to sort them though by preflop hand otherwise.

you can also sort by hand type (strong draw, top pair, TP+ weak draw, etc) in the reports tab under hand at showdown dropdown list thingy.

OMG, I actually can win a pot at 10nl? Must be a fluke.

Especially in a satallite with your M... I was gonna say the same thing but I play the 1 street donkaments almost never.

 

[KingCurtis]

yeah i suck, w/e

 

[c9h13no3]

Btw guys, I totally cashed out of full tilt cuz that place is evil. What should I do with my points? Think a 3 month stox poker membership would be worth it? Or should I buy some poker book like Proffessional NLHE, NLHE Theory & Practice, or The Poker Mindset? Or should I blow it all on a t-shirt (lol).

I'm leaning towards a stox membership, but I could change my mind.

 

[ChuckTs]

DC or stox, I'm leaning towards DC. Forget the books.

edti: nvm, didn't see you were buying with points. stox for SURE.

[eNTy]

Where you actually trying to get into the million or did u want it for the $$, KC ?

If it's $$ just play a ton of 210 fpps and get EZ money.

 

[orangepeeleo]

March could not be rocking anymore than it currently is!!!!!

I made the move up to 6 tables at the beginning of the month and oh my god it's paying off!!! March Rules!!!!!

$25 more and i can move to 10nl with my 25/20 rule

 

[orangepeeleo]

I know it says ive made $95 there but i stared with $100 to be rolled for 5nl and i've made $30 from fpp sattelites so thats why its another $25, just incase people thought i wasn't practicing proper brm

 

[tenbob]

Wasted my whole day playing Quake Live when I should have been playing

 

[Jagsti]

The way things are going.... I could be done with poker by the end of the month .

I just cant win a hand worth winning at showdown anymore!

 

[eNTy]

I'm on rakeback life support this month lol

(Hope things turn around for you jag !)

Deconstruct your game back to basics and build it back up piece by piece? I've had to do this a couple of times with my MTT game when things just went wrong somewhere.

Alternatively sacrifice a goat.


Hope it turns round, whatever you do.
