I've been having some ridiculous connection problems with Full Tilt lately so (at Jesse's suggestion) I decided to send them an email bitching, moaning, and threatening to leave.FWIW, the last straw was when I open KK and get 3b and it freezes and times out and I get back just in time to see the pot being shipped to that guy. It put me on full fledged monkey tilt for the first time in a long time, I had to quit playing. (the JJ<22 on T hi flop after I 3b pf just before that didnt help).Anyway, I've seen August graphs posted last couple posts, I guess I'll throw mine up since I'm already gonna get doomswitched for emailing FTP....About 11k 25NL and 2k 50NL:

I'm not sure whether to smile or frown. Yay at graph, Boo at FTP. Played for like an hour last night and I was playing soo well and then ran top set into a turned flush (which is like the 3rd time in 300 hands) for double stacks and I continue to be annoyed with the pokers. Oh well, time to win imo.

Take a break (have a KitKat?) and a day or 2 off Drop down a level or 2 when you come back: rebuild confidence, dodge doomswitch, pwn soulZ

At least you'll be getting all that yummy rakeback from the infinity hands you played last month!

I think not betting Turn here is pretty bad.Checking on the turn means you have to call the river.I don't understand the stats though as I'm not an online donk yet so feel free to disregard but you really have to bet the turn.

ya, idk about the turn, i wasnt that confident and i dont think i get that much worse to call and am put in a terrible spot when i am raised. the guy wasnt a fish, he was a reg...as for the river, i feel like the ace really hits his range as he can hae AJ and AQ a lot here. although, i sort of agree with u, checking back the turn i sorta have to call his river bet its just the ace is soooo KAOFK#FKJGAILM

as for this one i was getting 1.72 to 1 so i need about 36.8% equity to make it a profitable call....bah i think its real close but prob a fold

Just got back from the shittiest live game I've ever played. $1 BB, no SB, 6-9 handed10% rake capped at ****ing $5Oh and I played the whole night talking to a drunk Ron Rose. He kept buying in short for $20 and I put a bad beat on him to end his night (AK > AA, flopped broadway). He was pretty cool the whole night though but he was holding the game up horribly. Overall, a nice guy. Oh and he handed everyone at the table a card for his training site lol.And my friend and I played headsup to end the night and we suspect the dealer rigged the deck against me, despite the fact that I was carrying conversation with him the entire night. Was about even on the night til headsup, until I dropped $85 to my friend.Edit: I also got kicked out of MGM for underage gambling on my 21st birthday.

On that board the bolded doesn't matter as much. As drawy as this board is, the absolute biggest thing is to protect your hand and charge draws since a ton of his range is going to be combos that include a 10.
