Cake is also super dodgy. I wouldn't put money on there.

Let's say I'm multi-tabling with stacked tables. If I time out on one of the tables, will that table still go to the top of the stack so that I can click the option to be dealt back in? Or do I have to select the table manually?

Gotta do it manually unless you have software to do it for you. Software forum has free solutions for such things

Thanks for the reply! Does Table Ninja do this for you?

yes

According to FTP support I'm unable to get rakeback because I used a different promotion back in the days I joined (which is very annoying). So I guess there's no reason to move to FTP without it.
I've only played on stars. The software is great but I'm not sure if I should still play there since they changed the rake and my volume is quite low. I even have to struggle to be a goldstar. So basically if I stay on stars I'm, on average, able to sustain only silverstar. Is it still rational to play there when "rakeback" is as ridiculously low as it is when being only silverstar?

What site would you recommend to me? I'm european and playing 9m turbo's with the buy-in of 6-16 dollars.

thanks

I don't think there is a better option for SNG players other than Stars.

If you're good enough to make a dent on the Battle of Planets leaderboard every once in a while this can make up for no rakeback. Playing on a site where you know your money is safe with excellent customer service also makes up for no rakeback imo.

If you do improve as a player you can play as many tables as you want, something you can't do on FT or other sites.

I entirely agree with sheeprustler. As a non-US player, I can play where I like (except on Carbon lol). I've played some on Ongame and Party and I have RB on Tilt, but my "home" site is Stars and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone.

If can keep Silverstar plus Stellar rewards you get the equivalent to 20% rakeback, and like other say you will be playing in the best site.

ight thanks.

Hey!
I'm considering star playing hu addition to 9 hands.
so few question..
What's more profitble these days hu or 9 hands?and if the difference is significant?

What do you think more difficult to learn and require more investment?
Is my knowledge in full ring can help me in hu?

Tnx for your time,your answers will help me making decisions.

Orsulab3rt,

I don't know about profitability. If you're good at heads up surely those will yield more profit nowadays. Probably best to look at sharkscope leaderboards in the stakes that you play to get an idea.

I think heads up is more difficult to learn and play well. While the full ring knowledge can help in heads up, the structure is much different so there will still be a lot of connecting concepts and needing to learn new ideas to improve your heads up game. gl.

Putting 1-3 HU tables aside to my regular 9man set has helped my game tremendously. Helps keeping focuss imo. But i just do it if traffic is down.
You will probably have a higher roi in HU games. But if you can play more than 25 9man tables you will have probably a higher hourly rate and it will be
easier for you to get supernova/bonusses.

Hi,

I'm new to posting in the forums, but have been reading them for quite some time. I want to contribute more and improve my game, so hopefully this is a start. I wasn't sure if this deserved its own thread, so i thought i would post it here just to be safe.

UTG is 46/14/4.5 over 28 hands
BTN is 36/7/1 over 28 hands

What is the best play here? Shove? Check? Raise? I wasn't sure what to do in game.

Thanks guys, i look forward to becoming more involved in this forum

You are investing 1720 chips to win 550 chips with a fairly good hand compared to the ranges of utg and button so i would shove pretty easily here.

Orsu it's hard to say which will be more profitable for you. I think heads up does have a higher earning potential though. Your experience will help you, but hu is WAY different. You'd get rocked by a competent hu guy

usedstars ATs is a super fast shove there. You have the best hand preflop a lot, you will pick up the pot uncontended a decent amount, and being so bad they will call you with worse Ax. You want those 550 chips NOW! Very importatn to you

Thank you siebenacht, i did in fact shove, doesnt matter about the results, just good to know my shove was good.

so you lost the hand and you just wanted to feel good for yourself that you made the right decision. you wanted us to pat you on the back

Hello guys.

Is there a possibility to make some cash (not large one, just to complete bonus) at 1,50 $ 9 man turbo on P* ? (1,32+0,18).

Hey, it's the beginner thread. We don't have to bash the **** out of him for wanting to confirm he's on the right lines.

Hi

I'm brand new here (and to poker forums in general). I am 9 months into my playing career and currently working on cracking $3.50 Single Table SNG on Stars, having cracked $1.50 SNG on 888. I'm not grinding, multitabling or playing for income yet...I'm playing to learn, but checking my stats using Poker Office to ensure I am progressing.

I am currently studying ICM, which I understand but have not yet trained with. I understand its limitations re player skill (and why) but nevertheless I want to start analyzing my pushes (or non pushes) with it.

I have some fairly specific questions on the ICM/software terminology...is this the right place to post them or is there already a thread I should read first? Apologies if I should ahve made better use of the search engine, but I tried and have not turned what I'm looking for up.

Found lots of other cool stuff though....great forum!

You could certainly post what you want in this thread.

Fitna try to grind a roll out of almost nothing in Merge DONs and I have no DON experience so I'm playing around with the Wiz quiz before I start playing. I take it that I'm taking this negative edge (-.06) here despite Wiz's recommendation to fold? Should I be less inclined to take negative edges when desperately short in DONs than in normal structure 9max turbos?
