I am going to FTP in october when golf is over. I have never deposited there and I emailed them to ask for rakeback and they gave it to me. No reason for me to be locked in at stars when I only get gold status.

Games sure do suck balls today. Can't get a decent seat for 30 mins now. One table has 8 red dots on the waiting list just over 1 50/10 drooler.

Just because I open up a giant lemonade stand on my block and all the other kids opt not to also sell lemonade doesn't mean I have a monopoly. Now, if I coerced or forced them in any way so as I remained the only seller of lemonade, well then sure.

This is a woefully poor definition of monopoly.

From a legal standpoint, Dave D. had by far the better of that argument, but then "monopoly" under the Sherman Act differs to a decent degree from the colloquial definition.

The games at FT aren't much better and the new waiting list system sucks balls.

I seriously don't understand what you guys are talking about with the games being bad. The last 2 months or so, the 3/6-10/20 games have been as good as they have been in at least a year.

not really calling out anyone in particular, but i think a lot of people use this "games are dying" as an excuse for why they're not winning

To put myself in the firing line I have a theory that the .5/1 - 2/4 games are becoming tag infested as these are the people using nitty BRM in these post June times, if you don't play down there you will find it hard to believe how many nits are now at these levels. The fish who deposit now will play 3/6 or 5/10 to try and win something worthwile or bust, I mean what fish deposits $100 and thinks about grinding .5/1 they want a lucky night at 5/10.

The .5/1 games on FT were so bad last night with 3 of the 5 tables having no droolers whatsoever

royston, i have noticed the same thing at .25-.50c. There are a lot more tags in the past 2 months. and during peak times, there are like 3-4 people on waiting lists at tables w/ high plrs/flop %. It's actually a little bit scary how sometimes if i don't pay attention to particular tables, i'll be between two tags. I think my wr has gone down b/c of the recent influx of tags.

I'm just saying the mouthbreathers are not there anymore thats all, not that nits are unbeatable.

not saying you were at all. The bitching about all the tags just reminds me somewhat of the constant bitching about shortstackers in NL threads.

$1/$2 has been great the past few weeks, plenty of "regs" but a lot of them are god awful. Just because someone has TAG stats doesn't mean they're a good player.
