would if i could. i don't think stars allows you to cashout right after an xfer close to that amt, though.

They do, I've done it several times before. You just cant withdraw right after a deposit.

as long as you take similar lines with hands that win and hands that you simply want to show down, you can't be exploited. you shouldn't really be mixing things up like that unless your opponents are good, but if they are, then that's the gist of it. you could conceivably work out an absolutely optimal range for each, but meh. just keep it mixed up in such a way that you're able to not lose value with the big hands, as with a river c/r after c/cing the turn in your hand.

Ok...I definitely understand what your saying as it applies to good opponents who we play against a lot. I just dont know about this situation in the hand I posted vs a somewhat wonky villain that I've never played before. I guess for those reasons though the c/c line would be ok there too.

I lost with QQ to 72s and 73s three times in the first 10 hands.

well, the benefit of just c/cing down against unknowns is that it gets you the info you'll need for better future play, too.

I did this once and they suspended my account until I gave a detailed explanation of why I transferred without playing. I wouldnt suggest doing that.

hmmm, I've transfered more than 1k and immed cashed out 3 different times and never had a problem.Its not a huge problem for me anyway as I'm cashing out the same amount tonight either way. I'd just fee a little more comfortable with an extra 5-600 in my stars account after I cash out and I dont need it on FTP.

I'm a little drunk tonight FTP is smacking me in the face with the deck at .25/.50 LHE. Of course, I can't take advantage b/c I'm dumber than usual. FullTilt's sick joke. Poker is awesome.

I may be in dinkdonk land for the next 2 weeks, as far as having limited internet. I just ordered verizon fios and it can't be installed until the 30th. Between tomorrow and then I'll only have wireless on the laptop and I dont know how well that will work.Just wanted to let you guys know in case I'm not here for a few days that I'm not running away with the stake monies. lol

[checkymcfold 0]

pit me against two pros, and i dismantle them such that i play pretty much every street of every hand perfectly against them and make them cry.pit me against a slobbering call button drooltard, and i drop 40BB right quick.hmm. still won a little bit today, but the monkey at the end ran off with most of my winnings.

I spend most of my poker career fighting back from horrible starts. My only viable plan for stopping this shit is to rape a mystical unicorn.

i have had this syndrome as well. my one possible solution is to play 10-30 minutes of play money to start each session to get my head on straight, then hit the cashola.just had my best day so far... ruined by 5 river 4-flushes.

[Dirtydutch 8]

Aaaaannnndddd...there's no God, kids. I just ended what was already a horrible session with what is without a doubt the worst run of coolers and suck-outs I've ever seen or heard of, and proceed to monkey tilt for the final 20 hands, which I haven't done in months. I'm going to go look for something ****ed up to jack it to...like not just ****ed up...I mean something no one on here would ever be able to look at me again after seeing. I'm not going so spill until I've found something Mac would find legitimately horrifying. Child scat rape isn't enough for me tonight. I need something where the entire race of the starlet is wiped out in the process. I need some kind of genocide orgy porn. No blacks, though. Gross.

yeah, genocide orgy porn isn't going to horrify me, I hate to tell you... just stick to skat, that makes my nauseous every time

I've once again halved my bankroll playing first Great and then Good to Fine (obviously this isn't good and I wasn't playing awesome, but I was playing winning poker vs. these moneys), getting the most insane run of suck-outs and cold-deckings ever, and I'm pretty much done. I may change my mind after a night's sleep, and I may try to pick up NL or something at some point, but I just can't handle this shit anymore. I hope you all run like I do.

I was reading cardplayer magazine today while on a break in a live tourney, and they had an interview with Daniel Negreanu. He said that he was totally comfortable playing 20/40 LHE with a $4000 bankroll, and when he got up to $6000 he would take shots at 40/80.Take from that what you will. I don't know if you'll understand what I'm trying to say here by telling you that, but if you think about you may be able to get a better perspective. I mean obviously its about variance and bankroll/risk management, but there's more than that as well...like a lot more. And I think it pertains to you and your situation right now.I know you'll be fine though.

DN has also been been broke a million times and I'd suck a **** if someone could prove to me he could beat 30/60 online. I had Wingstop today, and and can tell I'm probably going to have diarrhea. But it was helligood.

Yes he has, we all know that...thats kinda the point I was getting at. Dont let one bad night **** you up, and dont let losing half a br **** you up, or even an entire bankroll. The skills you have along with your motivation and self control are your REAL bankroll. As long as you have those things you're never broke. The numbers you see in your account are far from your entire bankroll, they're just disposable tools. Obviously you're going to have to ask yourself if you were bound to lose everything you lost last night of if you helped it along a little (I think you said you did, so you know you need to work on that), but otherwise don't sweat it. Also, I'd probably disagree with your statement about his current skills, but that's a different discussion.
