Finally got the PS check after 11 days. I found out that if you do not deposit via echeck for 6 months then you have no choice but a paper check to cashout.

Decided to try using visa to make deposit at FTP as it's not limited on first deposit like echeck is. Took about 10 minutes to get approved. So FTP BR is at $600. I still have $100 to deposit whenever that's allowed. I also have $100 on PS that I will withdraw to add to the FTP BR.

Played about 50 hands at 10NL to get HEM setup correctly then dived into 25NL with 2 tables. When I got confortable I added 2 more tables. I was up 2.5BIs at one point then spewed a bit with TP and ended up one BI for the session. Made about $8 towards the bonus and the rakeback will be nice once it starts rolling in. I'll probably play 3 tables til I get more confortable at FTP.

FTP does not offer as many good tables at PS but there are still plenty to chose from. The waiting lists for the really good tables are much longer. I'm going to play 25NL essentially the same way I played 10NL except for playing 3 tables. I have noticed more 3betting already.

I believe this OP is over and I'll probably start another one for 25NL and beyond. Thanks for all the help from everyone at FTR. Thanks especially to Jason who kept reminding me constantly about BRM and making think.

Hopefully I can stay at 25NL but if the BR gets below about $450 I WILL drop back down to 10NL. That will give me 14 BIs.
