I think people make assumptions about certain parts of his game that are waay off base. He takes advantage of this and profits. I'm not going to elaborate with specifics, and I'm not claiming to have his game completely figured out but I certainly understand how/why he makes money.

as long as you don't drive during rush hour (all day long) you can live pretty much anywhere and get to the commerce in less than an hr.

i was more talking about hu regs. I even check theyr comments, and mostly it says 'only plays complete ******s, what a joke' 'hit and runner' etc lol. Then i wonder what they think of me, and why on earth they sit down on my tables.

Just to make sure I get this right.

If I buy the ipod dock from ftp store for 65k points, and it's $.005 mgr hit/point it's a $325 mgr hit overall and then 27% of that is what I'm going to miss out on in rake back.

like $90 or whatever.

Confirm/deny?

No longer in need of transfer.

For someone playing predominantly tournaments do you think RB would be worth getting?

Why would you turn down free money?

yeah this is kind of what i'm worried about. since i do plan on playing live a fair amount i dont want to have to start spending my life in traffic and hating my existence.

i stayed with a friend who lives in west hollywood last year for a few weeks and i liked the location and everything but it definitely seemed like the gay part of town, which, fine whatever each to their own and all, but since im into the ladies it didn't feel like a very good fit. dunno, maybe i just got a different impression of the area than it actually is

does anyone live in or near huntington/newport beach area?

haha yeah this is sorta true, but not too much different than what else I have seen of LA except the valley. plenty of amazing looking girls here as well.

The reason I would hesitate is because when I last played on FTP I would have had to create a new account to get RB. I'm not sure going through that hassle is worth an extra 200$ in RB from MTTs. If I was planning on playing cash there it's a no brainer I agree.

go to the rakeback forum here. some people can get retagged if they email ftp and some get a 10k bonus that clears at roughly 27% and some are SOL

Is anybody else besides me suddenly getting spam in a poker-only email account? I have an email that I have never used for anything other than my FTP and Stars accounts, and I am suddenly getting 5-6 poker-related spam mails a week.
