Damn I just noticed I only go to showdown like 18% of the time. That seems low. Any tips to get that up a little higher?

I am definitely not feeling good about 24 tables.

First I have the manual dexterity of your average person wearing mittens. 10 is my tops.

Secnd I have already seen Rika Kazak - 2/4-5/10 player and Cathcher3333 -3/6 6max at my 1/2 tables.

The main is very good about encouraging people to continue playing badly

As for stars changing the VIP program, I don't think it will change for the worse. I'm assuming it will actually get better, hopefully with them adding a $6k bonus at the 600k mark.

Hopefully the VIP tournaments will be revised as well because tonnes of VIPs can't even play them(due to thier times for me).

WTF is going in with Full Tilt right now?

One or two tables of NL100, not one of NL50...

Is that because of the software update or am I missing something?

But growing as a player and moving up nets you more than money than 24 tabling 1/2 nl to make 10k a month when you could be playing 2/4-3/6-5/10 like renton and GM making 30-50k a month. I guess my point is you guys are looking short term I am looking long term.

JF - i understand completely where youre coming from, i think you just value improving more than i do, while i value dollars more. i think i am improving when im 24-tabling, maybe not at the rate you are, but improving nevertheless, while making as much money per hour as possible. in addition, i think the most important next step i take to becoming better and making lots of money will be learning 6-max, not moving up further in full ring, as full ring games can become a little scarce at higher levels. ive never been very good at poker, but i could always multi-table pretty well, and im okay with that.

You are right on pattay. I give all you guys much respect for doing it and I am not saying you guys can't play poker good. I am jsut saying and even the main said it earlier youre bb/100 is gonna drop and you aren't going to be "playing poker" as much as you would say at like 10-12 tables. For me personally I wanna grow as a better player right now and work on buiding my roll to atleast 20k. I have a job and make more than enough to live on and I make some cash outs for travel/fun money. I am not even sure if I do make it to Renton or GM's level say like this time next year I will quit my job but who knows. Right now it is pretty cool to be making the kinda money I am playing poker and still have a job. My only point to you guy's and I may be totaly wrong is make sure your are still growing as a player. To me I wouldn't want to have to depend on rake back to make it. Brining in a few g's a month in rake back is great but I really think winning 10k+ a month should be any pro players real goal. Gl guy's and keep us posted on the 18+ tabling thing it really is quite impressive.
