Nice month. About $942 more than I got

Cheers. Has 2 months where I was roughly break even, taking everything into account, so that kinda puts it into context. Need another good one next month to get back on track.

has your german friend gone busto?

I thought he was busto but he's back at the tables. He must have his chat banned though as I haven't seen him say anything to anyone for a while, which is most unlike him. It's a shame really

There's quite a few single tabling fish around tonight. Not sure where they've all come from. A combination of the usual loose passives and then the button mashers who feel they have to try to win every single pot.

good work mate

Thanks

Results for tonight:



It would've been better but for this hand. Villain was playing 55/15 and I thought he was only raising the flop with a value hand and not a draw so I was quite happy to get it in on that turn, despite his sizing.

Nice results, let's go NL50!

I'm gonna outplay that damn fish in the BB....

I can't remember if you've answered this before, but why don't you play rush 6max? FTP rush has been pretty soft at times so I'm sad to see it's coming to an end soon Do you see yourself playing Stars after the merge, or will Party be your new #1 site?

I've always been under the impression that Rush is a bit tougher than regular tables so I've gone for the softer option.

I don't really know what I'm gonna do after the merge. I'm pretty gutted about the whole thing to be honest. I think I'll continue to play a mixture of both sites initially but it's possible I'll end up playing at Party, especially now that I have Party Caption to make things easier.

What's your plans after the merge?

Oops

I see, that makes some sense although I think the games are fairly similar in toughness at these stakes It's not uncommon for the 50rush pool to be filled w recreationals and only a couple of regs, but it doesn't run that often and when it does you should be prepared to play much 3-4 handed.

Yeah I feel the same regarding FTP merge, really sad to see it happening. I thought initially it would happen April 1st, but looks like we have at least some more time playing FTP. After that I'm thinking the same as you, will try and move some of my volume to Party but their rushpool only have NL25/NL100 for the moment which kinda sucks for me trying to move up

What do you feel about the Party software in general? I've also sat up Caption and played like 100 hands at microstakes to test it out but only played one table at the time, do you feel Party software is 'easy' to multitable?

I bought Caption a couple of weeks ago and wish I'd done it sooner. It's a complicated beast but it makes things soooooo much easier. All I've done so far is set up the auto-betsizing, increase the font size on villains and their stacks and also the auto-timebank. I actually find it easier than multitabling on FTP now (mainly due to the auto bet sizing).

you say this like winning every pot is a bad thing

Winning every pot is certainly no bad thing. Attempting to win every pot.....probably not so good. Everyone of them was down a fair bit

Another great result for Leicester today. I don't support any English teams but like most neutrals I've become a bit of a Leicester fan for this season. It's incredible what they are doing.

Best example of how football can also be not about money and money alone. Too bad Arsenal won't win the league yet again, but if not them, I'd gladly see Leicester win it. Everyone else doesn't deserve it, maybe Tottenham.

Thank **** Man U isn't winning it, ****ing hate van Gaal.

I actually think this will be the biggest upset ever in football if they win it. I can't think of anything else that is this unexpected. It'll be great.

Nothing much has been happening lately however I have submitted a load of hands to Alan Jackson for a Pokermetrics review. I should probably get the results back in a week or so and I'm really looking forward to getting them. Basically it's a sort of database review and advanced leak finder. I know I'll have a TON of leaks but it'll good to have the specifics pointed out and it'll let me know what I need to work on. I have a problem when I'm working on my game where I kinda try to focus on one area but then end up jumping all over the place. Being a rec with limited time I'm not gonna beat myself up over that but hopefully when I have these results I'll be able to work on specific areas and see some improvement.
