Depends on what you put him on? Seen him raise teh floop?Obv you're in good shape again a purr - if he's hit a set/straight tho you're not in so good shape.I like to play my FD+overs fast, but it's a little hard with having so little info on the guy

Ya only 16 hands with him so I really know nothing other than hes been playing a lot of hands, I *think* this is the first time he's raised the flop. I did end up shoveling, but like 5 seconds later thought to myself that a call probably would have been better

My stats from 50NL 60max =\ Anything stand out here? Not a very big sample size(only 6k hands), but Im still down 8buyins and slightly concerned about it lol. I think Im playing well(maybe a little nitty), but perhaps I should drop down to 25NL for a bit, meh.

What's your fold SB/BB to steal %age?- that's where the vast majority of your money is pouring from, stop playing OOPIf you're just getting your feet wet with cash games i'd be tempted to drop down a level

BB fold to steal: 81.3%SB fold to steal: 86.3%Too high, too low? I really dont try to play out of position much, have a feeling a lot of the money spewed is from 3betting AK/AQ there and missing the floop

i'm most concerned that you're picking tables with 59 other people at them.

lol, wp. didnt catch that at first :Pedit: from looking at my biggest losses in the BB/SB they mostly seem to be from pretty bad beats(or missing bricking huge draws) so maybe I shouldnt be too worried, if my hands held up in those spots I could easily be close to even in the blinds

Me too. This game is real fucking frustrating sometimes. I made a withdrawal around hand 35000.

Withdrawals are the devil. I made one every month when I was grinding sngs last year, needless to say I ran bad for a week after each one lol

Me thinks they should fix their F'd up site before continuing to try to add more players.

This is a brilliant marketing strategy for them. Give everyone rakeback...no one can get money off their site anyways so who cares if people get rakeback...mother Full Tilt owns it all...

That's better than I was expecting tbh from looking at the money lost - if you search my username I started a thread about 2months ago, Simo replied with lots of useful stats info. If you don't have some form of HUD you should get one, makes choosing which spots to c-bet in alot easier.

Your VPIP for SB is EXTREMELY high compared to other positions. You are probably completing your SB waaaaaaaaay too much. Just to give you an example, my VPIP is 5 points higher than yours overall but yours from the SB is 7 points higher than mine. Stop completing really marginal hands because it looks like you are getting a great price. You have to play the entire hand OOP. Also, if you are completing the SB when it gets to you unopened, stop doing it, raise or fold. Any competent player is going to be raising a huge range there because well......they have position. Also, stop calling so much in general.........for the most part your PFR should be within 4 points or so within your VPIP.

Ya in my first few thousand hands I noticed I was completing way too much, esp in the SB, been trying to raise more, limp less but my stats havent seemed to change much lol. What % of hands do you raise bvb? obv dependant on the BB, but assuming his VPIP is around 20

All pairs, any broadway-sometimes a bit lower, suited connectors, most aces. FWIW, even if they have 20 VPIP everyone defends differently. If he defends a lot, then I tighten my range. There are a ton of regs that are complete 3 betting monkeys in B2B so I abuse them in different ways.

I have found that good table selection of 200NL this month has worked out quite well for me so far... sustainable?

Except that's the email they send to everyone. Doesn't mean it will work when you try it that way.In fact, the error message is gone now, but still, I got the email saying not to do it that way.

Looks like I can cash out through cashier now too but not sure.. will figure it out tomorrow when i cash some out. In other news I went to see Pineapple express and we were right at the end of the movie when the power went out due to terrible storms. We got a refund but man that is tilting, only like 15 minutes left in movie
