For the first time in a long time, I have expectations of my team as a Giants fan. I hope this ends well.

Wow Cardrunners and Stox are handing out memberships like candy. They're running a promotion where if you get 4,500 FTPs you get a free month of Cardrunners and if you get 2,500 you get a free month of Stox. The promotion does not hit your MGR or rakeback. Lee Jones said they will be running this promotion for the "foreseeable future." A good value for me because I can just buy a stox membership from the FTP store for 5,000 points and get both free Cardrunners and Stox since I generally can get 7,000 FTPs a month. Yay life.links:promotion site: http://www.trulyfreepokertraining.com/ 4 thread: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/120/card...raining-333653/Oh and +5 buy ins today

Had another decent day at Foxwoods today. Up $1900. Called it quits early because I suffered a pretty ridic beat and felt like I couldn't win a pot for an hour so I packed it in.Mark

DL'ed the free trial for HEM. It's cool but it's a bitch to figure out with Vista.

Hi guys. Hoping one of you can help me with this.What does the All-in EV line on HEM mean? If my EV line is $0, does that mean I am running neutrally? Or is the All-in line an indication of the amount I should have won in all-in pots?

apparently it's broken, so i wouldn't worry too much about it. check the HEM forums for details.

If your winnings are 0 and your all in are zero then you are running neautrally in all in pots.If you're up $500 with your all in winnings at zero then you're running $500 above equity

I like the plan of moving down to 10nl for a while. Get some confidence and less stressful grinding, plus even if you feel you are still playing as well as normal you probably aren't and its just a good habit to get into.

yep ... i'm definately not playing as well .. i think its getting stuck and then playing bad ... i think getting stuck alot has effected me mentally quite a bit ... I definately feel for the guys who play mid/high stakes .. and can now understand (only a little) what the mental strength you must need! .. ok i'm off to bed .. named and shamed myself with some terrible hands so that I might face up to playing bad and retool.so frustrated.

There isn't an all in winnings line in HEM (or a Sklanksy bucks equivalent) so at least in the graphs it is impossible to tell how you are running. I'm finding stuff in HEM all the time so I'm not sure if there is another place to find this but everything I have found relates to all in EV without anything to compare it to.

Not really...if you compare all in EV to your total winnings, I think that gives you a really clear idea as to how you are running. In the graph, if a hand doesn't get all in, it just tallies it up the same as your amount won or lost in that hand. So, when you compare your All in EV to your total winnings, it shows exactly how you are running with the only true "luck" factor.

Why would an ALL IN EV line show true winnings from any pots?
