I think he's got some hands, like Ax, that can call a bet but that will just check behindif we check I doubt he ever bets worse, maybe some two pairs, and I don't see him as having many bluffs in his range

I'm repeatedly surprised by what people will thinly bet with on the river. I know I lose value with c/c lines, but I get to catch a boatload of bluffs too.

mkay so I signed up for rakebackpros and I'm not sure if I've been "accepted" I guess. I got a couple of welcome e-mails. How do I know if it will give me rakeback. I 4-tables 6max for an hour seeing if it would show up on 'my stats' and it didn't show anything.

I already had an FT account, so I did the same (thanks fighter for that post a few pages back). I can't tell either if it was accepted. I get rakeback on Cake Poker thru p5s and it says linked. But on rakebackpros, its not really saying anything...

Well, when I got RB from them, I had to e-mail Full Tilt first. I waited a few days, and they told me I should use Rakeback Pros.Here are my emails from a few years ago:Hello Full Tilt,I'd like to say, first off, that I love Full Tilt - the promotions,competition, deposit options, and software are all fantastic. However,the rake at the lower limits is too high compared to other gamblingsites - $10 No Limit HE's rake, for example, is virtually double of whatPokerStars has. I'm aware that Full Tilt typically allows rakeback toonly new customers, but I noticed that it has begun to provide rakebackfor existing accounts, too. I am simply wondering if, as a long timecustomer, I could receive such treatment. Thanks for your time.------------------Hello,Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker.Full Tilt does not pay players rakeback directly. There are a number ofrakeback affiliates who offer players up to 27% rakeback if they sign upto Full Tilt Poker through their site.Please note that this is not an issue which can be solved by openinganother account with Full Tilt Poker, it is against our site policy toopen more than one account. Though you could cease using your account,we do not remove it from our system, nor do we freeze accounts in orderfor players to create new ones.However, we do value your continued support of Full Tilt Poker, and weare currently looking into organizing something that will help playerswho are not already attached to an affiliate. We have added yourusername to our files for further consideration. Please be patient.-------------Three days later I got this e-mail from affiliates@fulltiltpoker.com:As a valued player on our site, we are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to receive rakeback on all of your future play at Full Tilt Poker.Currently this opportunity is only available to a select group of loyal players that have played on our site without the ability to receive rakeback.To take advantage of this special offer, visit www.rakebackpros.com and sign up for an account.If you have any questions, please contact support@rakebackpros.com for assistance.Sincerely,The Affiliate Team at Full Tilt Poker

this but jam turn thowe let him barrel twice and he'll give up his draws on the river, where he may call it off with bad equity or we make him fold and not realize his equity

Agree with jamming the turn. You're hand is under-repped and can get called worse. Any thoughts about raising the flop?

no, he's two barrel happy and I think we lose value based on the read

What james said,Because the villian bombs with TP and draws, better to let him do the betting for us. It was my mistake to not raise the turn though.

you faded so many BD draws on that flop, wow.

[SuperJon 175]

See, even someone as bad as I am can climb out of a pretty deep hole.What makes me even happier (and also realize that I'm on a sick heater) is that the majority of the downswong is at 50nl, and all up the upswong is at 25nl.
