I use them to buy in to the warm-up each week. Costs 13500 fpps and I make about 18000-24000 fpps a week, so it's good business

I play the 210 fpp sattelites to the 200k, play real tight, like in icemonkeys video, i've so far cashed in 3/5 for $10.67 each when i sell the T$ not bad for someone at 5nl lol

 

[S93]

Okay, I didn't think it would have to come to this but it's pretty undeniable now. I'm calling out for help to anyone that can assist me. First off, I beat 2nl for 20bb/100 and 5nl for 16bb/100 over about a 140k sample. I just want to say that every time I move up to 10nl, I ****ing run like god damn ****ing shit and it pisses me the **** off. Seriously, I chalked it up to variance the first time, then I said I just run really bad when I lost like 7 buy-ins the second time, then tonight I took another shot at it and get absolutely ****ing pwned. It's 10nl, WTF is going on? I swear to god I thought I was a decent player, but every time I move up to 10nl I get absolutely crushed and leak money out the ass. It's not fun anymore and I desperately need some guidance. I play 6-max so if there are any short hand players out there that have played this limit, I'm begging you to help me. I need someone to sweat me, take a look at my stats, etc. because this is just ****ing ridiculous. I know I shouldn't care where others are relative to me, but seeing people make posts on how they're doing pwning 400nl, 100nl, 25nl, etc. and I can't win even slightly at 10nl just life tilts the **** out of me. Especially since I crushed 5nl and 10nl is just one limit up. Seriously guys, please help.

PM me if u whant to do a sweat or if u whant u can just e-mail me your HH and i could go over them and see if i spot anything strange.

In general if someone on CC wants to sell T$ to me at cost I will do this because now that I don't play exclusively at Stars I don't always have enough fpps to buy-in to the Sunday tourneys so I just use cash. May as well save CCers some money. Just send me a pm and most likely I'll be able to get it to you at cost.

 

[Monoxide]

I did two tries to get into sunday mil, fail, fail. did super turbos, seem retarded soft and $86 a try, top 2 get paid and 3rd gets $86 back. I had best hand both times tho so im pretty sad.

one left with fpps then fck it all

 

[bw07507]

Nice first session in march. Thought i played pretty well. 20 Tables of 200NL FR

 

[Chris_TC]

By my calculations, I'm about to experience a minor hot streak. Bring it ooooon, Stars. :thrasher:

 

[cAPSLOCK]

I've heard the most important street in PLO is the river because it's the only time where you'll have a significant edge, when the opponent is drawing dead. Of course even more important is making nut hands on the river that you can valuetown and get idiots to call off with hands like top 2, bottom set, non-nut flushes, etc.

Yup. The beauty/hardship of in PLO as I see it is the gambleish aspect. We bet on probable outcomes more often than NLH. Another thing about PLO is how amazingly important position is. In fact if payers are having a hard time understanding position in NLH then PLO might offer some school of hard knocks.

I think the metagame emphasis in PLO (compared to so many other poker games) is one reason many top online NLHE players have been going there. If you ike playing position, player personalities, stacks, and the table more than just trying to get a nut flush then you'll like the game.

Today, I was finishing up a session, closing the tables down at 25nl, when suddenly a new table pops up.
It's a tournament. I have 3k chips and a seat. I was like 'wat ?'.
I check the lobby and it's the sunday 200k. I had won a 210 FPP satty 5/6 days ago and forgot to unreg. FML.


(but then I kinda lol'd..)
And I'm out whoopee.

As for march: swing much ?

 

[The Shrog]

Anyone think it would be profitable at the end of the month to 10-12 table the 210fpps over saving up for anything else?

[blankoblanco]

i'm taking the day off from playing, but going to relax, refresh, and watch some videos (earned a month's subscription to cardrunners by earning x amount of full tilt points). also i think i'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome, my wrist hurts

 

[Jagsti]

are you cereus?

Unless you mean no more poasting standard 80/20 beats, losing coinflips etc etc. Because the thread would suck if noone posted the funny cool hands

Well sort of yeah. It's fine posing the odd beat and stuff but continuous 80/20's, flips and the like are f'kin standard. Post the funny ones coz we like a laff..... whatever..... it was just like the 1st page consisted of like a hundred HH's which is pretty poor imo.

Hey I dont expect you guys to take any notice of this pleb !!!!

 

[Makwa]

Wow, i suck at PLO. Just lost 6 buy-ins over the last 2 hours. I think i need to do some serious studying if I want to diversify into that...

I like Farha/s book... Bobby Baldwin's article in SS2 is good too...
