Re:Early in FTOPS 12 vs PixKim
The only reason I checked behind was because I honestly thought he had AK or JJ when the Q hit the turn I thought I may of let him get there with QQ and if so my check behind on the flop was awful. But the way I see it is if I bet the flop and get raised i'm in the same position as I am with checking behind wondering if we are at best chopping or he has JJJ. And for the person who said quit poker you are probably right, it took some of the sickiest s*** i've ever seen for me not to close the FTOPS 11 tonight and only get 4th for 16.5k. Kenny and everyone else who seriously replied I ...

Early in FTOPS 12 vs PixKim
PixKim has made some odd plays already but is there anyway this is a call' Immediately with his check I thought JJ was definetely possible as well as AK as you can see I folded and no its not because I care about the 1k buy in.

Re:FullTilt & Pokerstars Check delivery times ...HELP
Used to use epassporte for FTP which was my preferred cashout before they left the market, but never used their e-check or regular checks. Actually use to transfer money from FTP to stars through epassporte for larger withdrawals and just requested checks from stars since I was familar and confident in their check processing and delivery.

Re:FullTilt & Pokerstars Check delivery times ...HELP
Sammy- Stars regular checks have been taking less than 5 days consistently as of late, the e-checks I use to love, but received an email that during a certain time period something happened with the processor and it would be delayed an additional 5-10 days of the original time stated so I prefer receiving paper checks instead. I've never had a problem with stars cashout and am still confident even after this semi sketchy email.

Re(4): Interestin deep stacked 1-2 hu hand.....
Been good bud, I agree I just don't think there is any value in pushing 4x the pot on the river without a boat here. I'm 99% sure he has a boat and even if he didn't the 1% time that j9 is good there I think calling this is long term definetely -ev. It makes it a little harder fold just because of how swingy the session had been but I never regretted letting this hand go. Catfish: Any decent J he will be raising preflop, pretty standard for heads up, and especially the way our match was going I believe. With the pot at approximately 90 or so and the fact that I believe I played the hand as ...

Re(2): Interestin deep stacked 1-2 hu hand.....
He makes a lot of plays, occasionally in very bad spots, but do you honestly think he's shipping it all in without a set of 7's or 5's here' I believe he has respect for my game and knows by my play after 2 hours that I most likely have a J as there was no value in an unraised pot to get deep with this flop and turn. I guess J7 and J5 are in his range as well as 77 and 55 since it wasn't raised pre but I just do not see how my J9 can possibly be good even if he is steaming at this point. I think the only way he overshoves like this so blatantly is that he's full.

Re(2): I'm in a horrible situation and I need some serous advice.
Didn't really read through much of the thread but if you are just dumping 40 here and 50 there, why not just exclude yourself for a few weeks and take that money toward a training site. Instead of playing poker watch videos from instructors then once the exclusion is over apply it.

Re(2): First one to FT both Big Daily Doubles!!
First of all Reed you played great. If you win both tournys you get 75% of the jackpot, jackpot was 22k last night. The bonus was 20% of jackpot for double final table which was 4450. He also got 475 for deepest combined finish and 135 for a double money cash. I unfortunately was the victim heads up for him in his win in 2nd and bowed out in 16th in the other one. Tourny has a pretty good structure with some play at the final table.

Re(3): Full Tilt to Stars withdraw - can I do this?
To OP, I have done the exact same thing you've said. I usually just withdraw from epassporte to my bank account but also enjoy the Pstars check system. The only downside from withdrawing from ftp to stars that you will run into is that you will hit your monthly deposit limit occasionally when converting. You can email stars to increase the deposit rate if you like but that was a problem I have ran into in the past. Gl to ya.

Caesars Indiana Circuit
I am comin down most likely for the 300 nl tourny on mon and 500 short handed nl tourny on tues, but was just curious about a few things from players that attended in previous years: 1. How many players do these tournaments usually draw' 2. Do you have to show up a certain amount of time early to register or can you register up until the start of each event' 3. What are the best places to stay, either by price, convenience, or availability' 4. 30 min levels starting with 2k in chips and 25-50; is this a decent enough structure to play or not really' this is the 300 tourny the 500 has 3k ...

Re(2): Withdraw from Full Tilt?
Not exactly sure what your asking, but there is a fee of two dollars to withdraw money from epassporte to your bank account and there is no charge while transfering the money to the poker sites.

Re(3): Some insight PLZ
Very bad laydown in my opinion. Fulltilt 1/2 is basically free money, by this i mean do not overthink the action, i've seen some of the worst players i've ever played at this level. I know your capable of big laydowns having played with you live before but this is a spot i'm puttin my chips in everytime. I mostly play heads up cash but you really don't wanna see three way action with AA i think a raise is essential pre here and if you were trying to trap him I think it worked, I highly doubt he plays a set with the action above nor is two pair very likely.

Re(2): Withdraw from Full Tilt?
Just like snaggs said all you have to do is email support, but that can take a while to get a response / it converted to your primary cashout request. If you want a quicker turn around you can always deposit the min (50 i think) into your epassporte to tilt then be able to withdraw as much as you want.

Re(8): Majestic Star's Poker Challenge Majestic Star Casino, Gary, IN
I emailed the poker manager about the event, it is on their website but under promotions. I tried to copy and paste all the information but it was apparently too wide (semi computer illiterate) but if you cannot find the information you need just PM your email address and i'll forward you what he sent me. He has all the events, buy ins, time, qualifying satellites, blind structure, as well as pay out structure depending on how many people play each event. I got a pretty busy week coming up but i'd like to head up for a day or two.

Re(3): Geting money from FULL TILT
Two very easy options: 1. Setup an epassporte account and withdraw through this method, have never had a problem with their customer service or service in general. 2. Transfer the money to pokerstars and request a check, will be at your house within a few days depending on the amount of the withdrawal.

Re(2): FT at the 16.50 on Stars question.
If your going to raise 1/4 of your stack in this situation without any reads then you need to follow through and call the all in. Image is very important at a final table showing this much weakness will be exposed later on if they know your willing to make a laydown with 25% of your chips already in the middle.

Re(3): full tilt poker transfers
If i'm reading the original posters comments correctly I think he just setup an account and is going to have a friend who has transfer capabilities transfer him money, which yes you can do that as long as your own personal account has been verified and open. BM08.

Re(5): chris moneymaker playing 1-2 nl on stars
He sat with me heads up at 1-2, he said good luck im only gonna be here for about 15 minutes just passing some time having some fun. He raced his 99 vs my AK spades, reloaded, lost another 200 or so when full table / 40 person waitin list arose, then said have a good one and left. He's been sittin short sessions at 1-2 past couple days just having fun and messing around. BM08.

Re(2): Hand at bubble of 55r final table.......
Yeah I never considered a flat call once the squeeze play was established. I was not worried about the initial raiser but the small third raise sent up red flag in my head that i was dominated. I think if he was using a squeeze play he woulda just pushed all in instead of using such a small reraise. I was shocked that he would make that move with only 10's. Only reason I called instead of raised pre was because I have been callin with strength in position against the initial raiser the entire tourny and he's the reason I was able to build my stack up late in the tourny because he leads at any ...
