Re:should i be folding here?
I don't really agree with this. Unless you know villain is nitty and only shoving on AA, there's no reason to fold. I think perhaps a reraise could have been a good idea, but with this hand at worst you're looking at a coin flip. Sucks to have lost it, but you had the odds. And you don't win tournaments without being willing to go to the mat on occasion. But that's me. I just think a fold is a little weak here.

Re:Being charged twice for the same deposits but only getting 1 in account
The same thing happened to me (not five times, just once) Finally got it worked out with FT as suggested by some people above, but it was a pain and made me really nervous about the security and organization of FT's back-end accounting software. I'm more careful now about keeping much money in my FT account, in case somthing goes totally wacko.

Re:New Senate Legislation Due Out Thursday
Because the U.S. has no way of forcing a site that's not based in the U.S. to pay U.S. taxes. That's why all those companies move off shore to begin with. Besides, when was the last time you heard of a corporation paying taxes' Corporate accountants usually manage to work the system to a point where major companies end up paying virtually nothing in taxes.

Re:IRON MAN?
I haven't been playing FTP for that long and thought I would do IronMan. I'm not sure about how IronMan affects rakeback. but I do know how it affects my social life and my general mood when I'm 25 days into a month and somebody insists on going out after work when I haven't played all day. I understand the importance of consistent play, but I think it's becoming a problem.

Re:DICK MOVE OR NOT
I'm not sure about the initial hand selection, but it seems like you were going to bluff all the way. Not a bad thing to do when no one has anything on you yet. I also don't like showing, but that's me. But dick move' Definitely not.

Re:What the hell.. Weird spot for kings..
I'm with the consensus here - only flat if you're looking for action and since you got it, you should get it all in here. I'd prefer a hefty rr to the flat though...

Re:Queens early in Big Double
I haven't played in this tournament so I don't know what kind of players you usually find, but it certainly seems like you're beat here. Its either a shove or fold for me... I think its a fold but sometimes I'm too nitty...

Re:Proper call when in BB?
This - even though you recognize its a steal calling off 25% of your stack w/ JT is a real gamble. I probably wouldn't have done it, but to each their own.

Re:is this a right push?
If you're called its definitely close and I think shoving is really table personality dependent.

Re:WSOP Event - 11 - Busted!
In retrospect a shove probably was the right move although that guy might have called you anyway. Better luck next time.

Re:Live poker session-$2250 swing at 1/3
Results oriented playing is generally a bad thing - especially in this case. Although you losing in the first half makes sense. Don't play when you're tilting and don't play to break even - its a one way route to busto. Glad you got lucky at the end, and sorry I wasn't there at your table.

Re:odd spot in PS $30 2r1a
MAybe I'm too nitty but I'm slowing down after he calls the bet on the flop. I dont really see him calling here without a K. And I'm never betting the river in this spot.

Re:did I make a good fold here?
Do you have an reads or stats on this guy' Its definitely a shove or fold situation - read dependent for me. If you have no reads I'd let it go.

Re:What to do? Crazy hand.
Based on his stats and that weird shove I really think you're beat here. I think he's trying to rep a bluff and praying for a call. Fold and wait for a better spot.

Re:dirrty spot
I fold. I'd want to get some sort of read on this guy before I decide to make a move on him. If he turns out to be a maniac you'll be able to take his money later when you're in a better spot.

Re:Terrible folding a set?
Because there is a limper is one of the reasons why you raise pf. With a hand like TT you need to isolate or take the pot right there. Its not the type of hand you can get too fancy with. And as for not betting a lot on the turn... why raise at all' And then only decide to fold when you hit on the river. What were you hoping for'

Re:variance/downswing or a leak sumwhere??
hmmm. its hard to say. Do you have some hands you can post that you feel are typical of your play' For the larger MTTs did you move up a level' My guess its a mix of variance and a little low confidence as you are running worse than you used to. But that's just a guess without seeing your lines.

Re:Passion for the Game
I think Hellion's comment was premature. Not everyone gets hooked on poker at first and online can be difficult for a lot of people. Especially for people used to live games. Take whatever time you need and when you feel up to it start playing micros and get your confidence back. It'll only take a couple of good sessions to get you back into your game. Good luck.

Re:variance/downswing or a leak sumwhere??
How small is your "small sample'" It could very well be variance especially if you feel like your game has improved.
