For real?

Yes for real. But never mind, I found it myself.

FIXYEAPOST.Nashtak, first I suggest playing 6max exclusively instead of nitring. Second yes do as Ninja says and post your stats. You should be crushing 2nl. That you aren't is troubling. You have RB right?

What the hell is RB?

rakeback

ooh.. duh..No i don't. I got a free $50 from a site i don't recall and i am clearing a bonus. I intend to withdraw then GTFO back to PS after i'm done.[EDIT] My roll is actually above $250, if you add my FT and PS roll together. So yes i have beaten 2NL, but i only have $107... ahem... i mean i now have $94 on FT.

Doesn't matter so long as he's bet/folding. Post the hand from villain's perspective and it won't be a call w/whatever flimsy hand we got to the river with (of course prior streets would have been butchered too).

You need RB right quick. E-mail FTP and tell them you'd like to sign up on Rakeback Pros. Rake at the micros, as I'm sure you're aware of, is brutal, and rakeback relative to stacks is very high. Like you'll be getting $6 back in RB per week if you log significant volume, and that's 3 BIs...I'm not sure where you stand. You're up how much at 2nl and over what sample, excluding your bonuses?

ah, AP.

The only hand i've made profit with in the past 20k hands is aces. That's right, i can't win money with Kings, even while SSing.

You gotta be doing something wrong, it's time to really examine your play. Are you being too aggressive, trying to push stations off hands? That in itself is a huge leak in the micros.

FWIW, the best way to win 72 pots on AP is to flat pre and on the flop and then hammer the turn/river scares.

[droberts 3]

The only hand i've made profit with in the past 20k hands is aces. That's right, i can't win money with Kings, even while SSing.A $5 bonus increment hardly keeps me breakeven playing 2NL in the past 6 or 7 increments.I'm upset.

hey man, its ok... you just need to keep putting in the volume and things will turn around for ya... i had a pretty meh january.. stuck through it and things are starting to turn around.although 20K hands seems like alot.. it really isnt a large sample of hands.some really really good players break even over 50-100K hands.

villain's 'reggish'edit: prob should squeeze pf. thougth his sizing looked bluffish so didn't see the point pushing the envelope otfFull Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comHero (SB) ($10)BB ($10)UTG ($10)MP ($19.61)Button ($12.54)Preflop: Hero is SB with A , Q 1 fold, MP bets $0.30, Button calls $0.30, Hero calls $0.25, 1 foldFlop: ($1) 4 , A , Q (3 players)Hero bets $0.60, MP raises to $1.85, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.25Turn: ($4.70) 2 (2 players)Hero checks, MP bets $2.50, Hero raises to $7.85 (All-In)

i would def 3 bet the flop with intentions of getting it in... he definitely has KJ/KT diamonds in his range and such.i probably 3 bet to 3.75-$4 and then shove any turn card.

[droberts 3]

That's so not HOF... this is imhoDont have a cow, heres your converted handFull Tilt No-Limit Hold'em $0.10/$0.25 - 9 playersButton: $26.37 (Hero)SB: $66.06 BB: $26.14 UTG: $25.94 UTG+1: $38.34 MP: $25.35 MP2: $31.51 HJ: $23.25 CO: $36.79 Preflop: ($0.35) Hero is Button with (9 players)5 folds, CO raises to $1, Hero raises to $3, 2 folds, CO calls $2Flop: ($6.35) (2 players)CO checks, Hero bets $3.75, CO raises to $7.50, Hero calls $3.75Turn: ($21.35) (2 players)CO checks, Hero checksRiver: ($21.35) (2 players)CO bets $9.75, Hero raises to $15.87, and is all in, CO foldsHero won $38.81(Rake: $2.04)

this just comes off as so wreckless.its amazing he folded for the extra $6... but in general i dont think most regs fold here...i would think they cry call with like AJ

also i hate the weekends..working every single weekend sucks.. especially 12 hours a day.. gah!

I went from +$49 to -$12-15 on FT and i am +145$ on PS. My total amount of hands played must be around 80k hands. I have 2-3 weeks left to clear the fast-50 bonus so i don't know about the RB. How long would it take to have it activated and would it be worth it for around 20k hands?

Obviously in a vaccuum this is horribad... but there had been a war started between me and him.Most regs wouldn't not shove a value hand in the first place. The pot was incredibly easy for him to just put his stack in, and he chose to make a bet that "commits him". The minraise on the flop is either a bluff or the nuts. When he checks the turn brick it heightens my assumption that he indeed has total air a vast majority of the time. Then on a brick river when he decides to bet, but not shove, what else could he be holding but a bluff? He thinks that he may as well save a few dollars for the times I look him up with top pair because his bet is effectively a shove. The reason I shoved instead of calling is bc I could be beat by AK or splitting with AQ (i'm greedy) or some nonsense small pair that was looking for a set and he decided to bluff with... and he won't look me up with those hands bc obviously I could never be bluffing in this spot :)But that's just went through my head at the time to justify a horribly spewy retard play and I'm just a results oriented donkey

What I'm saying is that you should be playing on FTP regardless...building a roll on PS at 2nl w/out RB is crazy. RB just makes it much easier, and it's not as if the level of competition is different between these sites.Also, you should be taking shots at 5nl if you've got $145 in your account.

[Ninja Ace 1]

Nashtak... get rakeback and zergling swarm that shizzle... you could break even (or even play losing) and triple your bankrolland I looked it up... I know you've seen the strat cuz you posted in the thread

My perception of reality is shattered by how statistically improbable i'm getting raped as a favorite.Anyway, here are my details on FT.

[Nashtak 0]

For the sake of comparison, here are my details on my PS user. If you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go somewhere that is not here, in the search of a revelation or a newfound love toward a Deity.PS: Yes, i might just have a huge leak on my aggressivity level
