already some huge waiting lists!

Couples points to ponder:
- how much of the fpp gain is lost on crappy game selection?
- Do we get the same increase from starting a new table? Whats that, quad fpps?

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

I never have understood why people will wait 5 deep at a 6max table. By the time you get on the table the structure has completely changed. Damn mo mo's.

I lost almost 8 BI on Friday night. I guess my style is definitely not a nit killing style. I must have a fish killing style. Too much value betting into better hands and definitely did not hit my fair share of sets. How'd everyone else do?

I ended the day up 2BI and 20K in FPP's. Trying to get to 300K VPP's this year, just kind of a goal to keep my # of hands up. Last year I barely made nova, but I skipped a few months.

I ended up seeing the nitty play everyone talked about. Games were pretty bleh, lots of 12 tabler ppl, myself included and I usually never play more than 9. I think if u play that day with like 6 table and pound, u could make more... but stars has us on FPP crack, even when its EV- us Lemmings still follow.

I didn't end up with as many FPPs as I would like. I couldn't start playing Friday evening until after the munchkin went to bed since I was flying solo this weekend. I played from 8pm cst to 3am, but only got the VPP bonus until 11pm cst. Damn promo cutoff runs on eastern time.
