FYI, Tilt gave me a $300 bonus for the cashout problems I've had the last month. So if you also had problems and haven't complained, do so :)Mark

Ok thought so on the quick call on Hand #2.Thanks for the feedback.

[albertoflamingo 0]

so.... i noticed my acct. on ftp had a little more than i thought i had in it.turns out... i had 267$ shipped into it yesterday from rakebackpros.com i signed up a while ago to see if it would work.... i guess it does. (this is for an existing acct.)they just asked for your ftp username and ur pretty much set. (obviously i had a different password for my acct. on rakebackpros.com than for my ftp sn cuz i didnt wanna get ****ed but i guess its legit)i dont know what the consenus was on this... cuz i remember the thread about it.... just thought i'd share.

Yeah I remember that thread and I signed up for it too. Did you sign up for it without Full Tilt referring you? Cause my rakeback manager on there doesn't show any money and it'd be nice for them to ship me some cause I just busto'd my account.

[Sheiky 0]

With MP being a half stack, i think his range is probably wide enough to continue with QQ here, though i'm not sure whether calling/raising is best.

This depends a lot on my view of UTG, MP, and Button. I fold here always unless UTG is loose, MP is aggro, and button is a really smart thinking player. But for 200bbs I see no reason to play this pot when you have nothing invested. Calling is horrible and screams QQ and allows all players to play in position vs you, knowing EXACTLY what two cards you hold, and raising allows 3 guys behind you who have all raised, to ship better always, and fold worse always. Your only hope is that someone goes crazy with AK so you can flip, or folds KK pf which I probably would if you raised there.MarkQuick edit: I didn't notice UTG min raised and MP has half a stack. That definitely changes things, but folding here is fine. Button clearly is NOT bluffing so its mostly do you think you're ahead of his range, and are you sure utg isn't a donk who min raises with AA.

at 100nl, i think reads on all of these players is going to be very important. if button is playing something like 22/10 or something, its a pretty clear fold i think.

I'm back to running absolutely awful again. Dropped 4.5 buyins at 1/2 after making 5.5 earlier this week, destroying almost all of my comeback progress again.

My session started off amazing, then I lost a race and ran QQ into a 72/20's KK (he had just min 3bet me with K5s) and it goes downhill.

I 3bet and get it in on the flop. IMO, the worst line is to flat call his flop raise oop.

I fold flop vs this guy, assuming sample size is more than 100 hands or so. He's not aggro at all, and he's a nit. You're just barely ever ahead here.Mark

I really hate this hand. What's going on with the two blinds cold calling the three-bet - were they both terrible? If not, I just fold pre-flop. If I do call I'm looking to see some diamonds, not an A.I also don't like the turn bet - it seems like you turned top pair into a bluff on the turn and then folded to a bet on a blank river. I would check call or possibly check fold the turn. AS played I like the river fold - seems like he has AA or 1010 a very large % of the time.

I agree. Seems like you are basically flipping at best, but given his stats his range is weighted towards sets imo
