Just Ignition right now. Once I get a new monitor I'm going to add a couple tables on Global Poker. It's tough to do more than 6 tables on a laptop, plus GP's software is ****tier than Ignition's

I sometimes play 12 star tables on 1080p on a 15" laptop
right now 9 tables on a 1280x1200 24" - soo much easier

I bet! I'm on a 17" laptop, and while I could 9-12 table on ACR with a lot of effort, Ignition's software makes anything over 6 tabling a nightmare without a lot of screen space. I prefer sticking to 6-8 tables max anyway. I feel like I'm still playing poker/having some fun, but anything more is stressful and I feel like a robot clicking buttons

Thanks for the encouragement. Honestly this hand didn't really faze me like it would've a month or two ago. I was surprised to lose, but not upset. The run bad I had last month was hand after hand like that, so I think I (kinda) got used to it

Good luck OP. I wish I didn't live in a restricted state, Ignition looks soft as hell for 200nl FR.

Like others, I think you should finish up your degree at some point since it could be useful someday, and you basically paid for the entire thing. You gotta do what's right to you though.

I'll definitely be finishing up my degree at some point - just didn't make any sense to do it right now due to various family things going on in my life. I'm also not interested in an office job or climbing some corporate ladder, so I don't mind taking my time with my education to actually educate myself, instead of cramming for tests and stressing over internships.

When ignition says your account balance is too low for 1/2, 2/5, and 5/10... but is high enough for 10/20? Guess it's time to shot take.

The run bad hit all at once. 4.5 buyins in less than 200 hands. Taking a break, then playing more cash and some tournaments later.

Just got it in with top set against a fd and lost... 9 buyins down in 400 hands. Seems like I'm either crushing and can't lose, or getting slaughtered. No in between.

Well, I busted the 110K. Ran KK into AJo for another 1/3 of my stack after the QQ vs A6o loss. Then busted with a 11BB shove with A9s against 77. Got 71st :/

On the final table in the 12K 6max.

Was in last place to start the final 2 tables. Was in last to start the final table. Ended up taking 3rd in the 12K 6max for $1800, my best cash in a while. Feels good. Besides the last hand. Got it in with AA vs KK and he went runner runner gutshot straight.

Still, made up basically all of my losses from yesterday with this cash and the 110K cash, plus I finally put in a small winning session at 1/2 (~500 hands, +50 BB). Back on track

Bovada grinder here- good luck to ya man. Always rootin for the US players.

How do you like using DriveHud on Ignition? I'm hesitant b/c of random players but I really liked the trial; Do your HUD stats on someone stay even when they switch tables?
