    Default Hope for failures

    The key to below, besides luckboxing is folding. Folding and more folding. And a little bit of b/f. But mainly folding and more folding.

    I'm assuming that's the key to 1,059 play money and you're about to drop a bomb in explaining the 2k, right?

    Though I joke. But, folding has been my key to success. More importantly, knowing when to b/f. Also, you have to have different sizing vs fish and vs regs. Regs might, if they aren't totally brain dead pick up on what you are doing. But I made tons of money by iso raising fish then just betting 40% on any flop I miss and close to pot when I hit, yes I am that transparent. Also, just cause you have TT on K83tt flop doesn't mean you can't cbet this. I almost always cbet this vs most fish.

    Most of my success has not come from making brilliant plays. It came from betting when I have it vs fish.

    And I just ignore regsm or try to. Cbat told me that they are playing at you far less than you think. Until I get 1k+ hands or some solid reads, I try hard to avoid doing anything fancy. Maybe the occusional 3 bet bluff with Axs vs his BU/CO opens, but that's it.

    I start tables and chase fish. For me, right now, poker is all about find the fish, let the regs try own. I'll just fold. Also, if you can't label at least one 40/5 or 25/5 type player on your table you should just leave, because what's the point?

    300 for 25k better value, I should save for 50k bonus but getting plat is hard.

    Wouldn't the second 25k be easier than the first? You'll be playing higher stakes so earning more plus goldstar multiplier. I'm just saying!

    You're right, I did buy the 25k bonus. Which it setting 25 dollar one fire, since i now have a chance of getting to plat. And 25 bucks is 25 bucks.

    So you guys never use fpps for lower than 25k bonuses? Guess I need to start hording them.

    Edit: No sense hording since I'm silver star

    obv you should be holding onto feeps for as long as possible. Sounds like you just wanna pad your bankroll cuz you're attached to the number in your cashier being big.

    Every now and then stars has promos where bonuses at .016 are avail at all sizes. Wait for those or at least the 50k (or hyperturbos as bikes said)

    I just figured I was using them like rakeback.

    I have no idea what this means. Does this mean you can cash fpps in that are meant for gold stars and above without actually having one?

    I'm silver star at 25NL and will probably never be gold star. What is the best use of my fpp's?

    Just read this site:

    FPP PRO.com -- Rakeback?

    note that they reference 1.6c per feep, which is the rate of the 4k bonus. this is the ideal rate, and buying anything less than the 4k gives you a worse rate. the rate gets worse as the bonus gets cheaper, thus giving you worse rakeback.

    FPP sats are 1.6 IIRC.

    the promos I mentioned give rates of 1.6 to even tiny $10 and $50 bonuses.

    If there's no awesome short term benefit in buying or anything @ <.016c/FPP then you shouldn't ever unless you plan on sucking forever then yeah it's fine. Hypers are cool and fun too but the variance is just so fucking weak and you'll never get a sample but definitely better then anything <650.
