So I tried out the FTP Academy and I enjoyed it. The fact that I am earning points for doing things that I should be doing makes it fun. The fact that you put the lessons you learn from the video straight into practice makes it interesting. To be honest, I always liked FTP better than PokerStars...but the rake makes it impossible for me to play there. A 90 cent pot is raked 5 cents on FTP while it's not raked at all on PokerStars. It's impossible for me to switch. Perhaps when I move up to 10NL or 25NL and the pots become bigger I'll switch. As of now, I cannot afford to.
However, more on the FTP Academy. I did one challenge where I had to win 3 consecutive times on the button. I was 4-tabling. The challenge actually made me play worse since I was forcing the issue on the button. I did not make as much as I should have...but making profit wasn't the point of this session. Trying out the FTP Academy was my main focus. Besides, FTP isn't my main bankroll anyway. I'm not looking to build that up...I just deposited on there before I found out PokerStars had a better rake system. Anyway, that's all for now. I wish I could switch over to FTP...but not until my rakeback kicks in. *sigh*
