Carbon is okay but they have the worst customer service of all the skins. I'm on BlackChip cause that where my backer has us play and I've been very happy with their customer service. Hero is good too as is RPM. One thing to be aware of, vig can be higher on some skins than others if you have money you need to sell. Carbon is usually the cheapest because it's the biggest, the cheapest vig right now is .87 or 13% and I'm pretty sure you can get about .85 on RPM and Blackchip but some of the smaller skins will be much more. Also a few smaller skins have stopped running MTTs, So another r

Yeah Donk4 I think so, this is a somewhat recent online occurrence or mb re-occurrence would be more accurate. For awhile after BF I rarely saw anyone raise/folding a 13 to 18 bb stack but lately I'm seeing it and doing more and more. I think it's partly due to the stiff competition we're dealing with online now and the huge aggression factor. Doing the unexpected goes a long way but I'm sure there is a way to exploit this but I'm not sure how yet.

First off I've been hanging out in the wrong forum on here, this shit is priceless. Donk4, TrueAce, Tehoe and the other guys you are calling idiots are great players and with great results to prove it and over a significant sample. I had a few "moments" with them myself and it was because I didn't know what the hell I was talking about and/or just being a little bitch but I've learned a lot from them once I learned the STFU and listen to what they were saying. Admittedly they could stand to use a bit more tact in their responses but after dealing with all these cocky arrogant inexperienced

The problem arises, and why raising from this stack is effective, is his range should be pretty polarized here so he either has a hand in the bottom of his opening range or he has a monster and with this player I think it's weighted slightly more towards a monster but not much in between. I think we can definitely argue a good case for a jam here but I think we're getting called about 70% here and we're mostly going to be behind. I plugged this into a fold equity calculator and he needs to fold about 60% for a jam here to be profitable and I'm pretty sure he's not folding anywhere near tha

A bit late but I just saw this because I was actually googling 13hope17. Right now he's #1 on Merge, he runs remarkably good, much better than he plays imo. That said even though I find his play pretty unorthodox in some areas, he must be doing something right because he has very consistent results. He told someone today he was a she and that's why I was googling him/her. One thing I'm noticing is the regs on Merge with the highest consistent earnings often have a pretty unorthodox style. One thing I see a lot of them doing is raising off a short stack and I've seen 13hope17 raise fold a 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkhX5W7JoWI Okay lets do this thing today! I need money to pay for a few weeks in Mexico so I can grind on PokerStars and the soon to relaunch Full Tilt! My backer is renting a huge place right on the beach just south of Rosarito for 7 months starting in November for his horses to go down as they can and play, imma a lucky girl :-) Good luck to everyone playing today, let's make so $$$

I spoke to a guy who plays on Intertops and they aren't leaving the US market and their cashouts via check are taking under a week to get processed. So if anyone is looking for a new home on Revolution where you can actually get paid it sounds like Intertops is the best bet.

Thanks Rose :-) Over the last 2 weeks I've made 15 final tables out of 125 MTTs, no brag intended, and I've not had one win. Best I've had is 3 2nds and several middle places. My rungood seems to run away when I get to the FT but just happy to be finally running good enough to make a few. I ran awful during Poker Maximus and only had 1 cash, for a 4th in the $11r 6 max (771 runners), so I'm really glad things are at least looking up some. It's a tough world for US online MTT players. Mexico is looking better and better.

Two final tables for one 2nd and a 5th - min cashed the True 50K, not much to brag about I'm sorry to say.

I've been missing this thread, however the last few Sunday's have not been anything to talk about. Maybe the revial of this thread is a good sign. Here's to hoping to have something to brag about this Sunday. Good luck to everyeone!

Hummm this is very interesting. I've been playing on Broadway Tables but something is up with them too. I doubt it has anything to do with an upcoming 2nd attack and more likely skins going out of business or something to do with the lock takeover. It could possibly have something to do with the cashier but I kind of doubt anyone knows anything about an upcoming DOJ hit without something about it leaking out. The Lock takeover has probably made it really hard on some of the skins with all the increased guarantees and all the overlay. I don't know but it is kind of weird. I have a Cake

Yeah I agree I was really surprised to see 99 show up there. I really expected to see JJ+ AK with TT the very worst I expected tbh. I think if I'm in that spot with that action I fold AK and probably JJ with the ICM involved, doubt I fold QQ but it's close.

Yeah that was exactly it but tight guy is the btn who is 14/12/4 over more than 3K hands so I do mean tight and the guy with 99 is a reg too so he should know this. He and I had very close stacks I had about 31bb and he had about 34bb and the btn had about 50bb. I cold 4 bet in the bb so I'm never light there after a nit 3 bets. But honestly I think he was just sick of me 4 betting him and had a good pair and said fck it I'm all in. He posted on P5s in the Maximus competition thread where I posted about finishing 4th that he'd lost count of how many times I 4 bet him. It's was a tough FT once

LOL Anyone playing the HORSE Maximus tonight? I've blown the other two already but still in the HORSE.

Oh shatup donk4life With our stacks at the time the action and ICM his shove was marginally bad at best but that's poker. He was really a pretty good player. I think he was mostly just sick of me 4 betting him. In my defense that tweet was right after I busted and I was bummed. over busting in 4th.

Well all the gtds are way up tonight :-) Should be some good value in these.

Can we get some love here! Who's playing?

For anyone interested there is a Poker Maximus competition running on Pocket 5s. http://www.pocketfives.com/f10016/official-poker-maximus-comp-669429/#post7001368

Wow I missed it, where'd you finish?

I won the $1 turbo frenzy tonight, hope that didn't use up all my rungood for the weekend, what a luckfest, 2nd in the $3r $2K also.

Poker Maximus games are now in the tournament lobby! Can't wait for it to start :-)

Thanks all! You're on for this Sunday Adam let's meet up at a big final table :-)

Finished in 3rd out of 939 runners for $2253, bust hand was 3 way all in with my QQ v KJs and 99 - KJs won

Ah dang I suck at PLO but it's so fun, don't know if I can make it or not though but I might try if I decide I can take a night off from Blackchip. Had fun playing in the mini superstack with you today Adam, I'm still in (11:57pm) 15/58

If the structures and field sizes are like the last one, and I imagine they will be, it should be another great tournament series. It'll be nice to have some good guarantees again on Merge.
