FT only has NL10 and I think the rake is hideous

[/ QUOTE ]

even with rakeBACK? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

i could probably handle NL10, just play halfsies.

[/ QUOTE ]

1/2 NL10 on FT 1/2 on NL5 Stars????????

or are u talking 1/2 stacking NL10??

If the latter, that's a big no no

[/ QUOTE ]

yea, 1/2 stacking NL10 until i built a BR on the site. i know it is a no no, but would just do it until i got the BR to play full and/or move up.

i auto rate myself in PT as well as everyone else during import. i also have a spare computer that does the imports for me. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Don't 1/2 stack 10nl, that would just be like playing 5 nl with a smaller edge. Also the 10% rake at FT nL10 will just kill you. The only way to make this work at FT would be to play .25/.50 limit where they don't take ridiclous rake but you probaly don't want that. But if you can move to FT, you can deposit more money anyways right?

Just take a shot at 10 nl now and then. You can try the .02/.05 blinds on stars first. Getting too anxious to move up is a recipe for disaster.

i hear that recipe makes bad cookies. im sure i'll be a complete BR nit. i was just thinking about playing at another site to see if i like it any better than stars but im not convinced it is worth the hastle. rakeback is the only real reason i want to move away but if im going to get hammered with rake, even with rakeback, i dont care that much.

were u acting dumb on purpose?

Just playin', heh.

also...thats not how i recall the chat going...you sounded v donkish

***For the amusement of uNL. And actually something can be learned from this.***

Well, here it is from the hh's. I'll leave it to uNL to decide who the bigger donk is and who actually got pwnd here. My comments in parenthesis. If you missed the hand earlier, I got aipf with AQ vs KK and win the pot.

Me: finally win a coinflip
You: (folded preflop, not in the hand) avatar says it all (I have a fish avatar)
You: actually i think the clown would be more appropriate
Me: 50/50 basically (well, here's a guy who obv can't control himself and berates other players. I'll play him like a fiddle, for future pwnage)
You: LOL
You: nowherenear!
You: what a dumba$$
Me: (got him where I want him)
You: it's like 70 30 dude (typical nitfish who can't control his emotions and has to "teach" other players in chat)
Me: that's why they call it a coinflip
Me: I had 3 aces, he only had two kings to get (who could possibly fall for this?)
YOU: It's only a coinflip
YOU: if both your cards
YOU: can hit
YOU: not one
Me: w/e
Me: coinflip
You: dude just stay at my tables plz
You: aq vs kk is not a flip rofl
Otherdude: just lost KK vs KK aipf to runner runner flush
You: Yeah i'm -350 today
you: actually -300
you: fking fa ggot donks wont stop merking flops

This is my June thus far, Im such a [censored] tilt monkey. This is my 2nd 12BI downswing at 50nl, mostly from tilt too. The biggest leak in my game is emotional control. I mean I still get happy after a winning session and mad after a losing one, even if I had to suckout hard in the winning one and get sucked out on in the losing session. This is embarrassing so Im posting it. If I could control tilt then Id be having >$1500 months every month. My only real poker goal now is to just get to 5ptbb/100 @ 100nl so that 30k hands/mo = $3k/month. Then Id at least be making decent scratch from poker. /rant

[/ QUOTE ]

barry, i'm the same way. every [censored] [censored] [censored] time i move up to 100nl i get smacked in the face by the deck, then i drop down back to 50nl, 8 table, make back the negative AND make another 1k. here's my june so far:

[meleader2]

also plz note 8 tabling with a thong-clad g/f in the room is hard.

if my g/f danced around in a thong while i played, it'd be +EV. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] just "hit" the anti tilt button.

[tehDiceman]

this guy should have pushed the flop. DOH for him.
