KosinTrouble 0 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 So last night was first night on FT. And damn, I got my arse handed to me....Lost 4/5 of my initial deposit, now given it wasnt a really big deposit but still, thought it would last me!!! lol Just could not get a hand to hold for the life of me. Lost full house to straight flush (again), lost full house to quads, lost middle trips to top trips...So looks like I have to grind a bit on PS then transfer some money over.

Good luck at moving back up. I am not sure what i am going to do. Yesterday actually really threw me for a loop to be honest when I lost my initial deposit at ft. So any feedback would be appricated.Obviously my br is at pokerstars, and I just found out I will be a silver star for next month, doesnt mean much be gives me extra vpp points so more free tourny's. Once I hit $800 I was going to move up to 25NL(another month away at current rate), but in order to do that, I would have to play at just one site. Wich means do I transfer my money from PS to FT, or keep it at PS. Currently I need another $10 and I will done my deposit bonus at ps. Once that is done, does it make more sense to transfer the majority of my br to FT for the rake back?Kosin trouble Link to post Share on other sites

trystero 0 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hand 1 fold he's not doing that w/AT (obv he does as it's 5nl but whatever) edit: saw that he's a shortstacking idiot, meh I can go either way with a call or a foldHand 2 $1 is OK; I think he's folding a lot tho because I'd expect Qx/decent hand to lead the turn. In general betting bigger is usually more profitable even if it's called way less than a smaller bet. Link to post Share on other sites
QED 4 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I did see one of the DC videos where they suggest you might as well just shovel into the short stackers when it's bvb and you have a hand. Can't remember which one it was though and it was probably against the super shorties that play on stars. Link to post Share on other sites

How many tables do you play? The good news is that 100k hand breakeven stretches are completely standard, so I wouldn't lose too much hope in your game at this stage. Though if I were to venture a guess as to the way your lines are going, you could be blindly barreling too many spots while also becoming a bit of a POW and stationing off spots where you have to fold. What's your WTSD/W$SD% of that span? Link to post Share on other sites
