Downswing Tips
Hey, Im mainly just a sit N go grinder on FTP and up to this point (12 months), I have never had a losing month. In the past year, I have slowly moved up from $3 KO to 12$ KO. Although 12$ is definitely a little tougher to beat, there are still plenty o fish. This February was my first month losing money and its kinda hitting my bankroll hard. I started off January up almost 1K, then hit a 50 buy in downswing...pretty standard though right' I grinded my way back up to even and then hit another downswing thats approaching close to 60 blinds at this point. Should I move back down to $6 until I ...

Email I wrote to FTP
To whom it may concern, I am emailing regarding the current promotion bonus being offered to FTP players. It states under my bonuses that I do not currently have any bonuses. I understand that in order to be eligible for this bonus, you must have made a deposit, which I have never done. However, I play on FTP exclusively and pay a decent amount of rake in given month. I feel it is irrelevant whether I have made a deposit bonus or not, but rather the volume of games should be a primary criterion of the bonus allocation process. I have managed my bankroll very conservatively since I began ...

Re:Best Rapper/rap group ever?
I don't know people are hating on other people saying Dr. Dre is one of the best rappers of all time. He was part of NWA and tore it up. Additionally, the Chronic and the Chronic 2001 are both amazing albums. Every song on both of them is the shit....Just waiting for that detox to come out.

Re:Who is the better player LBJ or Kobe?
You can't deny thought that LBJ is playing at a much higher level than anyone in the NBA currently.

Who is the better player LBJ or Kobe?
IMO, even though I'm biased, LBJ is playing at a completely different level than any other player in the NBA right now. Plus, the fact that the Lakers are still pretty damn good without Kobe definitely says something about his contributions to the team.

Downswing Tips
I'm in a pretty bad downswing right now, at least respective to me. My bankroll has decreased by almost 1/3 since mid January and I think its starting to tilt me a lil i.e. I think I've been shoving more loose late in the turbos, etc. What tips do you guys have to maintain your focus on making + EV plays and continuing to make solid moves even when you getting sick shit pulled on you every time you get all in'

Re:Balancing school and poker
LOL what terrible community college do you go to' Even if you are taking the minimum amount of hours (12 here) to be a fulltime student, thats 12 hours at least in class.... not including if you have labs and not including studying, homework, office hours, etc...If you actually want to gradaute in 4 years, you need to take at least 16 credit hours per quarter/semester. You must be on that 6 year plan at the community college to get your psychology associates degree.....

Re:4.40 180man your play?
Just because bad players make more mistakes post-flop does not mean there aren't players at these micro stakes who are 3/4betting with sub par hands. I highly disagree with your assumption that you can pin down this randoms range to KK+. By your rational, anytime there is a 4bet at micro stakes pre, you should fold a premium hand like JJ' The fact that there is an early position 2bet and caller is completely irrelevent in this situation. Donks at these levels are raise/calling with absolute garbage on the regular.

Re:4.40 180man your play?
I beg to differ. The $4 180 mans are one of the softest tournies online....there are tons of spewtards probably 4betting there w/AJ, A10, 88, 99, 10 10, etc....If this was high stakes or even mid-stakes, I would definitely agree with you, but at these weak tournies, there are so many randoms 3 and 4 betting with god knows what...

Re:FTP Points/Rewards
Its my understanding that FTP does not pay the rakeback, but rather the affiliates. Plus if you didn't sign up for rakeback when you started playing, you can't get it.

FTP Points/Rewards
Why is Full Tilt's reward system so lame' Iron man blows compared to Pokerstars rewards system... its so lame that you have to have a certain amount of points every day to make Iron man...and FTP points aren't worth nearly as much. They need to upgrade their rewards system ASAP!
