Re:Professional poker and how it's NEGATIVELY affected my life - Younger players should read.
Well try being 22, being super depressed and financially fucked for the next 2 years guaranteed b/c i fucked up school (partly b/c of poker) the first go around, finding a girl who'd be willing to move in with me but isn't an option b/c of said financial fuckedness and thinking that there is no way she'll want to wait around till i maybe graduate in 2 years and probably still won't find a job(i wouldnt blame her i've tried to convince her of this cuz i feel bad). At least you made life changing money in poker while you wasted your life with it, it probably indirectly cost ...

Thank you for FTP HU Shootouts (contains no useful content)
Low roller brag post! took down the 5.50 hu shootout for $512. Biggest score as i'm a low stakes hu sng grinder. Nice to finally get that feeling of a big score. I knew it was only a matter of time after FTP added these. only took 3 tries :)

Re(1): Heads Up sngs
If you just search "HU sngs" you'll find quite a few recent threads on this that answer your first two questions as well as give a lot more info on HU sngs in general. 4 mans are +ev if you are a winning player obv. As to whether to play aggressive or let them bluff their chips to you, that is dependent on your opponent and it should be easy to figure out if they are a poor player.

Re(1): Something fishy going on in 08
You're obviously just angry about a downswing and getting beat in pots where you are a huge favorite. It happens and venting about it can sometimes help but when you are going to include "FTP rigged'!'" in any post you lose all credibility and almost any chance of receiving a helpful or relevant response. I play HU also and downswings in HU suck b/c it usually is a bunch of sick beats in a row which drive you crazy and bring those feelings of doubt as to whether it is rigged but you know the answer to that. If you look back at this thread when your downswing ends, you'll laugh at it and feel ...

Re(4): 100 dollasr on FT
There is a lot of variance in HU but at the $5-$6 level which is all i play, in ~900 matches ive only lost 5 in a row 2 times and 6 in a row 3 times, never more than that. But ive won 5 in a row or more 29 times. And it is boring as fuck but if your just doing it to pad a br for something else its not hard. It all depends on what ur good at.

Re(1): 100 dollasr on FT
It appears you are a competent mtt player so i wouldnt be afraid to try the $5 90man DS sngs. These are super easy to cash in and if you can build a decent stack with under 30 people left you can run most people over. if you want to be very safe with ur br i would say play $5 hu sngs till you feel u have enough buyins to comfortably multi-table the 9mans.

Re(4): so whos doing AP's 1k buyin
I can't believe anyone who knows the situation would consider playing this. IMO these people are the type that would do exactly what scott tom did if they had the chance. If they can't see how negative their actions are for the entire online poker industry, well its sickening. F em and GTFO plz.

Re(1): Imper1um post from earlier-- In case you missed it
I believe this is exactly why I havent progressed in my game in the past 6 months. Prior to this i was consitently building a bankroll and had gotten pretty good at taking the beats and moving on. However, when a few other things in my life weren't going my way I started to have a negative outlook on everything and began to get very pissed at poker and had a very negative outlook every time I played and went on some super monkey tilt sessions which have cost me a ton. This is very good advice and im sure this is true for MANY players but that its too hard to realize because they "know" they ...
