Donktastic, how are you liking the FTP games? I don't know if there's been an influx from Stars but the 1/2 and 2/4 have been sick aggressive today. I've never seen so many repot 3bets from the SB. I even had a multitabler 5 bet me from SB with 77 when i raised from CO today.

See graph.

The games are good. Most of the regs are predictable and exploitable. There are PLENTY of bad players. Some of the regs are very good but I basically just avoid them.

I also like the fact that I can datamine because I am good at interpreting HUD stats, but I don't play a ton of hands...so at a site like PS I wouldn't have that advantage until I played a lot with someone.

The way today went, I did not expect to win this hand at showdown:

MP2 had 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (two pair, Nines and Fours) and LOST (-$200.00)
Hero had T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (two pair, Tens and Fours) and WON (+$218.00)

I shoved the flop because villain overplayed marginal hands, so TT is ahead of his range.

Still down -$530 today. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Unfortunately I'm not a great postflop player yet, that used to be the advantage of playin full ring - tight play and c-betting, playing made hands well, could earn a steady profit. Last 50k hands or so for me that doesn't seem good enough anymore tho, espeically lately getting played back like crazy by the new breed.
