Re:Oh hello Variance. Nice to meet you.
I think you should post some hands that you weren't sure about. Posting bad beats and cooler bustout hands will do nothing to improve your game, as they will happen all the time regardless. If you aren't sucking out your fair share and you arent holding on your fair share, then thats just variance. Post some HH's of difficult situations and ask the community how they would have played the hand.

Re:Supernova elite question
To put it in an hourly perspective if you are using Turbo SNG's they take about 40-45 minutes each lets say you play in sets and it takes you an hour total to load up your set and finish all you SNG's in a set. So if you need 109 SNG's a day and need to play about 14 tables at a time. Cash Games are calculated more by hands per hour, but it also depends on your stakes and style. I think 1/2 NL FR is somewhere between .25 to .35 VPP's per hand. So you need to play between 1360 hands to 975 hands per hour per 8 hour day. Given a FR table gets you about 70-80 hands per hour you ...

Re:Ultimate Bet
Your correct, the majority stay away from UB but not for the product it puts out there but for the scandals that have occured in the past. You can have a great product but it your customers do not trust you then it doesnt mean much.

Re:Rake back question
There are some transactions that would cause a deduction on your MGR... Deposit/Withdrawal Fees Use of FPP's Clearing of Bonus's Overlays in tourneys So you must have done one of these

Re:Turbo or Non Turbo SnGs on Stars??
^^ This....but in the end it depends on your style of play, if you are better preflop then turbos if you have actually any post flop game at all then non turbos. Its all a balance, good players tend to have higher ROI's in non turbo games than turbo games, but they can play more turbo games. So the correct answer is usually whatever gives you the best hourly rate.

Re:sit n go grinders
I minimize, but I do see the cards going in. Hate it when you are dominating villian and the game over you busted in XX place comes up. Then it makes me want to see how I busted. So really minimizing would probably be less efficient for me. I 8 or 9 table tiled.

Re:I'm skipping my final year of school to play poker
Let me preface that I am not advocating anyone to drop out of school to play poker, but there are benefits to do it before school is out. Depending on his major there could be allot of changes in the industry in which he is studying to get into. For example this is why auditing firms recruit college grads right out of college, because they are educated in the newest standards. If I would have got my accounting degree this year and played poker after graduation and then decided to get into auditing the barriers to entry would be very difficult to over come as I do not have any work experience ...

It deducts 100% from MGR thus 27% of the deducted amount is a hit to Rakeback.

Re:SNG question turning TPTK
Villian totally playing this like he has a set. With the board on the flop not being too draw heavy a check is definately a reasonable option for villian and the min raise at the turn looks like he trying to get value for his set. However this is a $10 SNG and you could be against a weak J. Any reads'

Re:AQ in BB ITM in $12 180 turbo
Looking at stack sizes you appear to be just ITM with 2 tables left. I think given the payout structure pushing in seems like a strong play to me because it really doesnt matter if you bust just in the money or 8 players later. If you lose well you might of saved yourself some time, if you win you clearly have a favorable stack to play with and that alone in a turbo can carry you far. Yes you can double a lesser stack later, but with such a strong hand I dont think you should wait.

Re:To Those Who Like To Berate Other Players!
I think its the way Sharkscope calculates ROI- I believe its by units won not dollars. ie win a $5.50 18-sng for $36 thats +5.5 units ((36-5.5)/5.5) then lose a $55 18-sng thats -1 units (0-55)/55 thats +4.5 units and you invest 2 units thats a 225% ROI Thus you have a 225% ROI with -24.50 in profits I think this is it...

Re:PokerStars VIP program
During Cash Credit promotions Cash Credits are available to Silver + and they exchange FPP to cash at a 1.6 cents/FPP rate. Also yes most other forms of FPP usage is not optimal for Platinum and below. However there are close alternatives like you said the step 1's or 1/4 million satties (However the negative on this is opportunity cost, you are using up time to play 500 FPP Steps to get 1 dollar in added value) (.015-.013) * 500 = 1 dollar. This might not be worth your time if you are playing at midstakes. What the VIP reviews shows the standard rate at which FPP's are valued. It ...

Re:fulltilt iron man medals
100% sure it does not affect rb. Bonuses and FTP's do hit your RB (FTP when you spend them) but everything else does not. Tokens however have a built in rake in them so i guess thats why they dont effect rb.

Re:The Borgata
For the BI and the amount of play you get this is a pretty good structure. My only comment on the structure would be adding a 250-500 level.

Re:How long until you profit SNG's
1.) Right from the start (Due to fact that I played 20-30 $ SNG's first and when moved down) 2.) About 500 SNG's - But I withdraw and constantly move back to $11 3.) Probably 300-400 Depends on your volume. If you play between 100-500 SNG's/Month that is definately attainable.

Couldnt Durrrr finish his first challenge before making a new one' TBH the first challenge lost some of its luster because of the long breaks between. I'm sure this new one will have a lot more structure, but lets complete the first one already.
