jmbreslin 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Frickin 10NL Rush. Started getting my giraffe on an upward slope again with an early double-through, then lost 1.5 stacks on two hands where I got rivered. It's 2 steps forward, 1 step back...until it becomes 1 step forward, 2 steps back. Is 3 steps forward too much to ask? Link to post Share on other sites
trystero 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 so I have a ton of Full Tilt points amassed thru the years, and I'm looking at how to spend them wisely and basically every option is fcking god awful because using FTPoints apparently affects rakeback. I guess the best option is to use them for freerolls to try and win tournament tokens, but even that seems trivial.jbreslin, poker sux. Link to post Share on other sites

trystero 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 that's the thing. It requires a ton of time and effort; yeah, 1800 points - > $400+ is a fantastic ROI but the odds of that happening are so retardedly slim. Plus using those points will impact my rakeback spoils.Nice system FTP, thanksalso **** Iron Man. Do I really have to play almost every day of the week to qualify for this shit?

Ninja Ace 1 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I dunno how much strat really helps anymore... the games are getting so retardedly tough that winning grinders are turning into losing players... It's starting to get to the point where you have to be good enough to fold Kings pre...and the once lovable 6-max has now turned into a 4bet bluff warand heads up is nearly dead since nearly half the shortstacking fish are goneI mean I'm profiting still... but this game ain't what it used to be even 6 months ago Link to post Share on other sites
Manign 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Strat doesn't help at all anymore. With all-in pre's, why not just gamble instead of playing a sport?I have a really tall giraffe to prove my point. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 On the game being dead, I disagree. Last year was my best year in 5 years of playing. This year is also going at a decent pace.Just because poker may have more leveling wars now doesn't disqualify it...just means that you have to stay ahead of the curve and get better at leveling wars. also **** Iron Man. Do I really have to play almost every day of the week to qualify for this shit?Going for my second month of Iron Man. Four-table 50NL Rush for 45 minutes per day. Rinse. Repeat.

Helps that a lot of people that have improved will never get passed 100NL. Pretty heavy logical inconsistency itt, the player pool gets better, trickle down effect as breakeven 5/10 regs become good 2/4 and 3/6 regs, etc.That said, regs are still as stupid as ever. Games are definitely still very juicy Link to post Share on other sites
