bluffing your way up, and bluffing your way down..

nah, tough break joop

its mostly 100NL tho it includes some 200nl as well

well, if it is less than 16 BIs, then it sucks but it is pretty standard. Hope it turns around for you soon.

So I played a bunch of 1800 FTP tourneys and won a bunch of $26 tokens. Wtf am I supposed to do now? Anything that's not a 1 in 100 long shot?

My theory on pot control vs unknowns.

full tilt...why does your server go down on my biggest heater ever...

thank god the servers are down, i thought it was my internet connection,

just 4 bet AA pre god dammit

I was in a 3 bet pot with TPGK against a 63/27/1 drooler myself. I had just value bet the flop and have no idea what the result of the hand was.

I am glad the servers went down. I was donking it up while I was being coached and embarrassing myself.

has something like this happened b4?

yes...basically on cash games the hands in play are nullified.
In tourneys the buyin is returned, but I am not sure what they do if the money was already reached.

IIRC they split according to stack sizes

I like the 24+2 deep stack bounty 90 mans. They are full of players with tokens so the field is fairly soft.

Is the play considerably weaker in the 25NL games or coincidence. I couldnt get anything going my way in the 50NL lately and decided to drop down to 25NL and though the stakes were smaller my win rate was bigger. I don't have PT so I don't have stats, but I made over $100 in about 2hrs. I know thats a pretty good win rate, for me at least, and I was probably running good, but I feel like the play is weaker. So I got a couple questions.
-Do you guys adjust your play between 25NL and 50NL? or do you virtually play the same way?
-Is there a difference (in play) between 25NL and 50NL?

I think changing your play between 25NL and 50NL is bad. And from what I have experienced from the short number of hands I have at NL50 so far, yes there is a difference. 50NL seemed way nittier than 25NL to me. But I don't have that many hands at 50NL so I might be wrong.

Overall I think 50 is nittier, but I don't have a big sample at either level tbh. In my experience though it's all about table selection. Some tables at 25 are harder than some tables at 50. So I don't think in terms of adjusting to the level but rather in terms of adjusting to the table and the players immediately to my left and right. The better players at 50 are definitely way better than at 25 and can make your life miserable, but there are tons of weak players as well. Make sure you are table selecting. Remember, if you can't find at least one fish at your table - it's you!

Are you not using pokertracker at all even when you play?

Hey guys. Currently building a roll after removing all funds from a Prima site. I have never deposited on Full Tilt and don't know how. Grinded up a decent roll b4 so thought i might give it a shot and after a FR brain damage tour won $2 (lol) and am currently working it up and on my way.

Can anyone help me with details as to how things work at FT, in regards to account use and withdrawals and transfers? I had a look at the transfer system and noticed it says it requires a deposit before transfer, so assume the same will go for withdrawal. Wondering what amount will be required, and possibly the best method for a person from Canada. Not that I plan on doing anything unless I get it way up, but would like to know in case I am once again successful.

And yea, reading some early posts in here, I agree the games for this level are pretty nitty. Kinda amazing how much so actually.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

I'm from Canada as well and use Moneybookers for deposit/withdrawals. Haven't had any problems yet and FTP usually processes them within 48h.


The play at the 25NL tables is definitely weaker than 50NL. There are less regs and the regs you do see are generally less aggro. The 25NL deep tables play the same as the NL50 games though, and are usually where all the regs are sitting.

I don't consciously adjust my play but seem to end up running about 2-3% higher vpip/pfr/3bet and way higher steal rate. I find I can run over the 25NL tables without getting played back at much, NL50 villains tend to be nittier and play their tighter ranges more aggressively.

Don't do anything with FTP, not even download the software, until you've picked an affiliate to get rakeback from.

Along with rakeback, you should get 100% bonus with a deposit up to $600.

Be sure to do this, and make sure you also clear your cookies and your cache as well.

What's up poker mom, been a while since I've seen you around?

I use instadebit, and I prefer it over any other method available. You get your money from your FT account to your bank account in at most 4 business days.

Tnx for the tips, much appreciated.

No worries, where in Canada are you from??

Not at all. I seem to do alright though.

I think I play a lil different at 50NL because I knw they're tighter. yet I cashed out some funds so I may be playing different because of a smaller bankroll. In any case I think I'll be hanging out in the 25nl for a lil while.

I wish a were as cool as jotheglyde ****in loser short stack ********** thinking he is better than everyone ****in dick loser ass ***bag
