you're doing it wrong.

anyone have opinion re HEM2 v PT4?

i've just recently got HEM2 and i've found it dropping out on me/freezing a lot. considering just getting rid of it for PT4.

Wrong destination?

I check in with HEM2 users from time to time, and it's always really negative reviews. PT3 never worked right for me, so I'm hesitant to switch over to PT again, even if it's a totally different program. If HEM ever gets their act together with HEM2, I'd guess that it'll be better than PT4 but not sure. I'm stuck with HEM1 atm which sucks because HEM developers are really bad nowadays at updating it. There hasn't been a worthwhile update to it for the better part of half a year, and there's definitely some issues that need to be addressed. The whole DB system is kinda rigged right now.

Even if you move out of the country you still have to apply for the money via the DoJ.

Incorrect, sir. You send in documents to FTP, prove you're not in the US, and the money is yours/you're free to play on FTP. I wouldn't go halfway across the world otherwise.

how does moving to thailand get you money?

nevermind nevermind siiighhhhh. I got confused over this quote by shyam:
so, I figured that changing my account to a ROW account and not being outside of the US would enable me to play on FTP as much as I like. So, I guess I can still play there, but it'd have to be with a whole new roll, huh? I'm glad I found this out now; I would have been in for a very rude awakening.

I think youre wrong. I am an american and i recently moved to thailand. Ill be able to get my FTP account relocated/ will be able to play, but i will not get my bankroll that i had in America. Ill be able to play after xfering from stars.

yeah, exactly, what I meant.

Man... you lucky ROW bastards.

You can smoke recreational pot in Colorado and Washington but still no online poker.

5/10 online? lol... I really hope this is a level.

damnit I really want to play some poker now that FTP is back online. I'm going to build the most swole play money roll ever. maybe obamarama can come through and get us some legislation.

How about the fish, I played a bit without a hud, but it didn't seem fishy to me at all. Now I don't find this surprising, since we are probably the only ones who have been anxiously awaiting FTP's return, but maybe I'm wrong.

What do you guys think, especially now that they ditched our rakeback deal is it worth playing there?

rb while clearing a bonus is ~70%, so that really shouldn't be the issue right now

Nice, wasn't aware of that. Will try to get my hud working then.

I believe it's only 65%. 25% flat rb and the bonus clears at about 40% rb. FTP points earned shouldn't be included assuming we are using it to purchase bonuses as the bonuses has to be cleared anyway.

tbh i dont see any legislation being passed in the next decade. that's just my two cents though.

Wow that's grim...

#drunkNateSilver is already beating post-legislation games for 10bb/100

Initial FT buzz worn off, but as I said about a year ago, followed through that I would spend half my BR on things I want/needed - new bed, guitar, clothes, ipod, laptop, christmas vacation. Now I have about enough to start the grind again, but almost considering just calling it quits for a while. These mood swings are nasty lately...

This is so f bad. It reminds me of that other trainwreck with friday friday friday it's friday

Personal best for myself today.

Got to the gym and the only bench press was taken. So I did 4 sets of dumbell press while I was waiting. When the bench vacated I started @ 225 (225 4x, 245 2x, 300 1x, 325 1x) and went up to 325 which I got pretty easily. I decided not to go any higher than this so I wouldn't risk aggravating my back since I've had minor back issues in the past. Although, I could've probably gotten 335 or so. So I decided to do a drop set of 225 again because I didn't get a true 1 rep max. Ended up getting a personal best 18 reps of 225 after doing all those sets. Obv this was all done with correct form (ie not lifting butt off the bench etc).

Just the 4 buyins below EV in 800 hands today. Yet I don't GAF because I'm playing Rush poker again. Zoom just didn't cut it for me. Not sure what was so different about it but Rush is just so much better.

@Curve I'm fairly sure that's the same guy in her video as Rebecca Black's.

it is. rich parents pay him 5k, he makes a music video with their spoiled kid, we lol @ outcome.
