Running it twice is really good and only serves to reduce variance. During the WSOP cash games, any opportunity I had, I'd def run it two times.
i'll be interested to see if it loosens up people's ranges for going all in

Yeah, I always just say it's for freelance work, and leave it at that, they never push it. The way I see it they are doing their duty (and getting themselves legally off the hook) by asking you, and it's not in their interests to pursue it further.

So if I were you I would NOT tell them where the $$ came from, if only to avoid potential hassles, and to allow them to quietly put the $$ in your account without the bank clerk thinking that they might be doing something illegal.

They are going to cap the rake at $4 instead of $3 when you run it twice guys.

rake

Rake is the percentage of a pot that the house collects as compensation for hosting a game. At Full Tilt Poker the maximum rake in ring games is $3, with a minimum pot size needed for any rake. The only exception is a hand completed where players have chosen to use Run it Twice, where maximum rake is $4.

With all this talk about the reasons people give when depositing a check, what about if you just get it wired straight in, via the premium bank wire?

running twice does not effect EV at all.

Except to make it lower when they take the extra rake obv
10-15-2009 , 06:10 PM
man i never get asked about checks.
good thing now i know to lie.

i usually deposite them in bulk though, and often times they do a funky thing where they make sure it clears or something.

Cos everyone at 200nl are spewtards and will 4bet bluff you even if you play 13/9 (semi-serious answer). I got him at the 13/8.5, but very small sample.

when you're livin' the life, you can't always be bothered to deposit checks the moment they arive amirite?
10-15-2009 , 07:33 PM
wait wait.

if you dont have run it twice checked, and everyone else does.

does this mean youll get more rakeback compared to how much rake youre personally contributing?
10-15-2009 , 07:36 PM
Yea it must do I was thinking the same thing, if everyone else has it ticked the table is gonna generate slightly more rake.

It's pretty good, but if you get a check mailed it comes from some bank in I forget, Austria or Switzerland or somewhere like that, and it is a very weird shape and looks more like a weird money order than a check. When you take it to a bank you will probably get a hold on it and have the staff asking you wtf it is and where you got it, etc.

Other than that the ewallet works fine for me, I move money from PS to FTP to euro sites with it a fair bit (it doesn't work as many sites as moneybookers or neteller, etc), basically works for me like Neteller did before they closed to us Canadians.

Oh almost forgot, they have a debit card you can order for $10 or something. I have this, it's cool but they do take a percentage per transaction, I forget how much, maybe 3-5%, max $20 or something? (I think the max cashout on the card is 1000 per transaction but don't quote me on that). I have used the debit card a lot but I do find a fair bit of the time it doesn't let me cashout as much as I thought I transferred to it, if I had the time I'd look into that and see if they are ganking me somehow on that, but it's probably the transaction fees or something I guess. It's annoying though, you can't see on their site anywhere how much you have loaded on the debit card, so you have to keep track yourself.

Any more questions just let me know.

He never has a flush here IMO and never has 4x unless it's exactly 44.I think you're only beaten by AQ/maybe QQ if he doesn't 3-bet it. I think he knows exactly what you have and is turning a mid pair or maybe even Qx into a bluff. I think you should've called tbh Blix

yeah just check hardly any hands you would bluff with here and it jus looks pretty much what it is. I'd prefer a turn bet to a riv bet but both are bad imo
10-15-2009 , 08:31 PM
yea, i didnt really like it in retro sprect, but when people flat 4bets I tend to get confused..thought there was some value there.
