lol, what the ****? So it's recreational players all the way down eh?

misclicks often happen too

more often than you might think :P

moral of the story

**** when it's you that accidently shoves when you're taking a shot. (prob a bad double barrel but guy was mega nit so felt it was justified.) p.s. i don't have an all-in button, normally happens when i try type out an exact bet size but forget the decimal point. think it's happened 5 times and 4 times i've been snapped off; run bad or what eh

lol i usually just scroll for bet sizing

i saw you in the 50nl zoom lobby earlier, how'd shot taking go? (apart from bluff shoving into the nuts)

It's all about clicking call instead of folding

taking a 16BI shot at NL10. run good one time?

yeah im trying to be more of a br nit but games were too good to turn down. only did 1k hands as my internet went down after that but ended up 1bi so reasonably happen with how things went. Game still needs a lot of improvement but most of the spew is gone now

[x] no money in NL10 everyone's solid



NL5 is like printing money, and I'm playing exactly the same for NL10 but losing. Anyone has any transition tips? Thanks.

When you said you were going to do a 16BI shot do you mean that you had set aside 16BI for a shot take or only a 16BI roll?

NL10 isn't that much of a step up from NL5 imo, just games get steadily more aggressive as you move through the micros.

I'm taking a shot at 10NL atm so I might finish the Deal Me In thing

For me playing the same way like 5NL I get the same winrate but small sample size atm so can't really help you other than that you're probably playing scared money as you're underrolled with 16BI

Or you're on tilt and spewing off

Just post some hands where you're having problems

was taking a shot when I had 22 BI, dropped to 16BI, and took another shot, broke even. Yeah mostly spew I guess, needa keep the grind at NL5 first though.

Just you go careful Dill, Stars hates it when you try and move up...








Merry f***in Christmas Stars, you'll get f**k all from me next year!

Some lolsy bet sizing in KK hand

He was an uberfish, just trying to keep him in with whatever random crap he had

Edit: and merry christmas everyone!!

Well u got called by 3 pre then 1 of those called on flop, its pretty obv he has a ace as u hav the kings...

So when that turn hits, u should be bombing it

N when that river hits, u should be crying, not bombing it

Yeah ur right, end of a long day so not on my A game. Just think it's funny u seem to always get these hands just when ur trying to make a move stick. Those were just a couple, had to fold so often too.

Ah well it's only 5nl

how many tables?

I did beat 10nl zoom with 1 table (up 10BI), I got crushed when multitabling (better not saying how much )

Took a shot at 25nl nl yesterday both reg and zoom- was playing aggro on some normal tables and that transferred across to zoom where i spewed off some stacks.

Played to many tables to concentrate properly, not a good idea when i shot take. Back to 10nl for rest of the month. Going to make a video for people to sweat.

As for 16bi shot take- go for it, just play less talbes and take your time for your decisions.

Does anybody know whether you get the standard edge rewards rakeback while clearing bonuses on FTP? Such as the Xmas matching deposit bonus thingo..?

You still get your rakeback payments whilst clearing a bonus. In theory, with 25% RB, this reload bonus could net you 65% RB total. (40% bonus - which is fantastic)

I was basically 99% sure that they wouldn't also give you rakeback, that is so insane.. it's basically free money even if you break even as long as you put in volume. Thanks for info, just to clarify before I deposit, you are 100% sure on this?

Edit: Also if you know the answer to this if you don't mind, how does Gold Edge reward (whatever % RB it is, 25 is it?) match up to Pokerstars bronze or silver level VPP/FPP cash redemptions? Are they similar in value?

waiting

Silverstar is something like 12% while gold is 15% I think?

I think the platinum was 20% and Diamond 25%

I think supernova @ PS is 27%?

Still the rake is pretty damn high in the micros at FTP so you're paying 6.7% rake and getting 20% back of it

Now if you look at PS 2NL you pay 3.5% rake so even if you get 12% back as silverstar you'll have more money than paying 6.7% rake and getting 1.3% back for 5.4% rake

So it's cheaper to play on Pokerstars even getting 1/3 of the rakeback from FTP

It's only worth playing on FTP if you have 25% rakeback and play 25NL or higher as the rake is getting capped more often

But if you play a lot of 25NL you might want to consider switching to PS for the SN next year soo

Merry Christmas fellow zoomers!
