Not bad I'd say, considering most of my volume was at nl50.

Month






Hope to put in some good volume at the nl100 tables in May. I think I also talked myself back into a stake with a very good stable. I was staked from September 2013-Febuary 2014. The last 2 months I've been playing on my own dime. The free coaching and weekly group meetings are pretty much the nuts, and it's been missing from my game. Also the skype group chat is on 24/7, so if you need a quick feedback on a hand, they are right there to answer. I want to feel comfortable playing the small stakes games before I leave the stable.(I left their stable right when I was taking some shots at nl100. I think this was a mistake and should of signed on for a couple more months to get comfortable at small stakes). Who knows how long this will take, but I hope to achieve it within 3-4 months.

GL to all in May.

Nice month man! Are the NL100 action really that low compared to NL50 at Cake, or is it because u don't feel like ur ready to play 100 yet? If so, it seems like you should move up fully soon bc ur results have been pretty good, right? Get in there!

Subbed gl!

very nice work OP. you give me lots of motivation to strive to be the best i can be. Is there any specific reason as to why you chose to grind on intertops instead of the WPN network?

Thanks panda. The nl100 games rarely run on Cake. I'd be lucky to get 4 tables going for a session. If I start tables, it will usually be HU or 3 handed for a good 15-20 minutes, then one of the regs will HnR, and the table will break. I kind of like it like this because it easing the transition, reducing variance, and keeping the swings low. I don't think I can handle 12 nl100 tables just yet .


The weekly rakeraces, monthly bonuses, and heavy rakeback is why I play on Cake. Also, the cashouts are really fast as Intertops has their own cashier. Checks take about to a week to come in. Most of the regs are not that great either. Most of them play face up ABC, and when they lose patience, they end up spewing like crazy . Out of all the regs, I can honestly say maybe 2-3 are very solid and give me trouble.

how many tables did you average playing at once this past month? how many tables do you feel like you start losing your edge? if only we could all nanonoko 24 table with ease

sorry for asking what i feel like is too many questions

Np, ask away!

If I had to guess, most of my sessions are 9-10tabling. I think once I hit 14 tables I start losing edge and I'm just auto piloting. Sometimes when I mass table, I have no idea how the action went down on a certain table, so I end up donk betting, 3betting on accident as I didn't see there is a PFR ahead of me, etc.

Awesome month bro! I'm actually debating on moving over to intertops myself. The competition at bovada is extremely soft but they have no rakeback, rake races or anything of that nature... do they still have the segregated player pool?

Yeah they are segregated with Juicy.

Do they still do the skill level separation?

I'm not too sure on this. I don't think it exists anymore. I'm playing with a bunch of losing regs along with some big winners on the site.

Ok, I appreciate you answering my questions! That's the main reason I moved away from intertops. Might make the move back, blows playing without rakeback

Took a couple days off and now back on the grind. I purchased HEM2 as HEM1 will not be having any more updates from now on. Still getting use to where all the stats are when you click the HUD.

Put in a short morning session and pretty much broke even.







Vs a whale, not sure if I should fold somewhere.






I don't like folding vs fish..






Soul reading regs






Cooler






So I'm backed again by my old stable. They also let me play on my own dime at the same time which is awesome. I'll be playing across 3 different sites: Intertops, ACR, and Bovada. I want to put in at least 100k hands this month again. Hope all goes well this month, and make a full transition to small stakes.

R.i.p. HM1

When you say you will be playing on 3 sites, are you playing them at the same time, or one at a time? I assume you will scout the lobby's across all 3 sites and sit the juiciest games of all 3. Gl on WPN, thats where i play (atleast when i get back from vacation hehe). Look into getting a debit card from there, withdrawals are faster than the intertops debit card, atleast in my experience with them.

Have a great month at the tables!

Thanks Pee Wee.

Yeah I'll be playing all 3 sites at the same time. Most of my volume this month will be on ACR/Bovada as I need to put in volume for the stake.

How does the debit card work? And I didn't know Intertops had a debit card, I just cashout using check.

Cool, what stakes will you be playing during the stake?

The debit card is fairly simple, there is a paper you fill out and fax to an email address they list. Talk to live support, they will give you the full run down, same with intertops.

Good day overall.






Clicking buttons vs a fish. What's a pair??






Against a reg.






Thought this was going to be a bbj






How would you approach the turn?






Against a habitual floater.






Turn should be a bet, but I wanted to get all the money in before the river.






ACR is sooooft. Most of the regs seem like they are RB/'the beast' grinders. Also a lot more fish than Cake. Cake also plays tougher in my opinion.

Good start to the month, I hope it continues throughout May. Back at it tomorrow.

Nice thread man!
Remember, whenever u're feeling tilted, grab a teemo and start spanking it - it helps with tilt ^^

Just found this sick thread.

AQo: x/f turn feels horrible

We got blockers to QT, KQ, probably 3b AK, that leaves A2-AJ easy x/c as you played it. I'm barreling this run out myself.

GL im subd.

Thank you.

Yeah I think I should be peeling one more on the turn, and check/decide river. I guess he can also have AQ himself here, along with AT and some semi-bluffs which makes it a turn c/c.

Hey, nice to see another intertops reg . Although I've recently moved on after the stupid $4 rake cap, we've probably played a ton of hands together. My SN is Big Boss Big on Tops, maybe' we'll play again sometime.

Have about 2,500 hands on you

Yeah I think the network is broke lol. They usually make rake race payments the day after the race ends, but haven't gotten paid yet from the 4/22-4/28 race.. Contacted support and they said it's because they don't work on weekends. Well 4/28 was a Monday. Then they come up with an excuse saying they need to count how many points all the players accumulated for the race. But the final results were posted on their website on 4/29. Didn't want to embarrass their support so I just agreed to their excuses and left lol.

Meh kind of day.






No history with the guy and he decides to punt me a BI.






dream situation vs the 2 biggest whales on the site. One literally plays 90/80 and never folds.






Bink vs a nit.






4b pot, tight ranges, what the hell does he fold here?





Is river a call? Wasn't too happy even with trups.

We block kings, got the Qd, if he has AQ its a cooler. ..clicking spoiler now

sigh.

My last cashout approval took 6 whole days ( Requested last Saturday of April, and they sent out end of Friday). For past two years, it was 2 days for approval no matter what. Still waiting for the check in mail. I feel like the network isn't as healthy as it used to be, sadly. I did get my rake race payments for last week of april though ( a whopping $100 w00t).
