NL25: Moving from Stars to FTP...adjustments?

RapidEvolution · #1 09-23-2007, 12:05 AM

I've recently moved from stars to FTP on NL25 and I'm having what seem to be massive issues. My reads are all off, my style's become polarized and every flop looks like a nightmare with the turn and river making things worse. I know a lot of people play successfully on FTP and I would just like some advice from other players who have done well.

Note: I'm only through my first 10k hands at FTP so I know this might be a downswing, but it really does seem insane over there.

I couldnt play at FTP. The software tilted me or somthing. And I ran pretty bad.

I think they're against me clearing my bonus lol. I was running at about 6ptbb/100 over 15k hands at stars and I'm at -3.5ptbb/100 over 10k at FTP and have seen more connected monochrome flops than I can shake a stick at. lol

Could just be me, But I think the games on Full Tilt are a little bit easier to beat, this coming from a guy who plays $25-$100NL

Play solid poker, limit FPS, and minimize cold calling, and you should do fine.

After moving most of my BR off of FT, I decided to play a couple of BI's at NL50.

I seem to run into this a lot. lol

From playing 25 on FTP and Stars I don't think there is a lot of difference in quality, but I do think FT players are much more aggro when they have a hand. Stars players just call, call, call, call, not that I'm complaining about that.

WTF IS UP WITH FTR MAKING MISTAKES????????

My apologies. Villain showed down As-Ks and took down pot on the river. I'm assuming my line is standard.

FTR doesn't like it when players go all in. Use another convertor.
