***OFFICIAL 2012 FTP REGS THREAD*** - Page 6 - Small Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

Just played my first online cash session since April 18th, 2011. Rusty as all ****, but, man, it felt good to play again. :thumbup:

And damn FTP for existing...having gone from that to Merge, man...the layout/setup, even with the mods I did is nowhere near as nice :sadkitty:

Merge isn't bad though I mean I could easily 12 table without having issues and used no mods. I've played on worse sites for bums and bonusses.

yeah definately a lot worse sites out there. Never had issues with merge, but damn that influx of regulars with that promo was irritating.

You can select "hide all-in", fwiw.

Doyle and Howard at 5 guys...

i suppose i shoulda been a little more specific with my statement. I mainly called BS about the part where he says "doyle says we wont ever see a penny of our money.." (or something to that tone). I think thats total BS because:

a) the deal with Tapie/FTP looks REALLY good right now.... obviously

b) doyle probably has just as good of an idea of how things look than we all do. in other words... Doyle probably has 0 or close to 0 inside information as to what is happening in negotiations with DoJ/FTP/Tapie. all of what he hears is probably nothing more than the type of rumor you'd hear in the NVG discussion thread.

I think it's obvious that Howard Lederer has to know more/has more inside info than you and me and to think he has not said one single word about it to Doyle is ridiculous. Saying Doyle has 0 or close to 0 inside info is absurd; now, that is not to say that his statement was accurate.

thanks guys

mostly 3/6 actually, 5/10 hasn't really been running

not sure when peak times are because I just usually jump in when I feel like. Right now it's pretty dead though and it's like 3AM in the US.

yeah I'm in Hong Kong, but should be back in Phuket by Thursday. will see you there for sure, who are you staying with?

you're kind of going to need to work your sleep schedule around the grind, like 2AM-6AM is probably prime time for euros. which is fine since no one in Phuket wakes up before 3PM anyways.

yeah i worked that much out, which is why i thought about merge - pokerscout says peak time on merge would work out as like midday in phuket.

im staying with greg/ tiltattack and i think he shares with tom/ jordan. the house is in rawai, and its this one (dunno if u have been there) http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/92...huket-1142160/
