I wanted to click that link, but I think it's against Stars and Tilt's TOS Well, in every game, SOMEONE is usually crushing it I just want to maximize my earn and have fun. I personally, so far, find the games @ Tilt MUCH easier @ 100NL than I do @ Stars 100NL. Before the change, I thought Stars had better games probably by an equal margin than Tilt is now better. Could I retool and win @ Stars 100bb? Probably. Could I go to the fish @ 50bb max games, learn those from scratch, and win like I was at 20bb to 100bb? Probably. I think long term the way things are NOW, Tilt is a better move for me because I can earn more money there playing 100bb against more fish. Admittedly, I haven't been @ Tilt long so I could always come to a different conclusion later, but I'm up 7 buy-ins plus another two buy-ins in rakeback for $900 in just 10 days. I'll know a lot more though next month. | |

Deep games are another, third animal altogether. If fish played them, I think they would be great, but they rarely do and then you get to sit around with a bunch of other regs hoping you don't make a 300bb mistake pot controlling 3rd set on a rainbow board against them trying to get the fish's money. | |

I'm all for table selection, it's a great (and necessary) skill to have. Some just take it to the extreme though, and if you are grinding towards Supernova Elite you can't really be too picky (insert names of whining SNE chasers here) | |

definitely sort this out, it's a sick type of tilt. Hell, I rarely even look at the table once i've clicked all-in until AFTER the hand is finished. What's the point, really? this was a recent evolution (mid-may) by the way, and it's gold. |

I think both parties are right. It all depends on how your game matches up to a certain range of opponents. I think I play exceptionally well against nitregs who take predictable lines, and stars is chock-full of those. The deep tables amplify that advantage exponentially because I can put them in much more difficult spots, and I probably have more experience playing deep than most just because I've always selected for deep games first. | |

Here's a separate entry to reflect on my trip to Vegas last month, which was my FIRST trip to the city sin. I had a FABULOUS time. Because it was my first trip to Vegas and also because I had my girlfriend and one of her friends, I didn't just play poker. But, I put in several hours each day for 4 days and was fortunate to play decent and capitalize on a few opportunities and have some decent luck, too. | |

As I alluded to two posts back, it's been about a month and a half since I said good-bye to Stars and their rathole heaven for greener pastures @ Full Tilt. I didn't have the bankroll there to step right back into 200NL so I played 100NL looking to win at least 30 buy-ins and build up a bankroll of at least $6k before I could play 200NL again. During that time, I feel fortunate to have made a little over 30 buy-ins as planned plus almost $600 total rakeback, paid weekly, added to the bankroll I already had when I started puts me over the $6k mark. My win-rate was ~8bb/100 or 4ptBB/100 over ~36k hands which was better than when I first played @ Stars. I hope that is partly indicative of better play on my part, but with a small sample size, one can never know for sure. I definitely feel my game and especially my mental game has come a LONG way since I started 100NL on Stars. | |

man craziest thing ever I was talking to someone in IRC about how wack it would be if someone who posts regularly on an internet forum just died. cuz like, we'd have no way of knowing without knowing them irl and thus it would be very strange if one day that person just stopped posting. we'd have no idea why and no reason not to just assume death. | |

Can you find that post? I did a search for all posts "3 mos. ago and newer" and the result said the last one was on 08-09-2010, 10:22 AM. That's the date of the his last post in his Op. Of course, the search results could be wrong. | |

how far behind the times is Gmml? Its obvious that he's died again . last time he blew his roll ....got his rakeback which let him pay for his internet and now has blown what was left. in shame that he has finally blown his roll fully and can no longer play, has blown his house and is living in his car ......wait this sounds like jared huggins. |

Heh, you guys are so crazy. I've played about 3 times live since my last update and none online. It was pretty fun. I've thought about getting back into it, but it's hard to explain, when I'm grinding, I put in so many hours, I think about poker all the time, I study poker, and it consumes me. It's like I'm in a trance and now that I'm out of it, I'm scared about the possibility of going back into it ... even though I would like to play to an extent. It's hard to explain. | |

If you sit around blaming changes in the poker economy for your lack of profit/motivation etc. you will continue to regress and eventually be stuck playing .10/.25. If you look beyond the things you can't control and aim to get better and stay ahead of the curve, you will survive and prosper. | |

yea jason it's one thing if poker isn't fun anymore, but if you wanna play don't let the toughness of the games discourage you.. they are still very beatable. 100nl (40bb min) has plenty of mediocre tags and more fish than you might expect. | |

Right, but if you have 185k FPP points, your value on those points changes drastically if you are Bronze versus SuperNova. I hope one month next year I might be able to get Platinum again and just take a hit for what I would get if I was SuperNova because unless Stars changes their structure AND I can shake the burnout, I don't see me getting that anytime soon. | |

I understand the burnout thing. I think I'm approaching it myself. I don't play nearly as much as I used to. It use to be 6 days a week for at least 1k hands a day. Now it's 4 days a week for sometimes a little as 500 hands a day. Don't know why I'm losing interest. | |

Happy New Year ... 2010 went quite differently than I imagined. I don't even know exactly how much money I made, but I think it was around $10k and I stopped playing somewhere around mid-year due to burnout, so I was on pace for $20k, which IF I maintained the same pace in the 2nd half of the year would have been $5k short of my original goal and that deficit was probably due to the unforeseeable change Stars made in April to their structure which both reduced MY profitability AND rewards plus the always increasingly difficult games in general. But, I have no problems with the outcome or choices I made on the felt. It was a fun year when I was playing and I was glad to take an extended break, too. | |

you are unnecessarily hurting yourself by starting at 25nl if #BI's isn't an issue. you'll dominate 50nl even if you start out the first 10k hands semi rusty | |
