the west is a crapshoot imo, obviously chicago looks dominant so id have to take them, but i rly hope columbus squeaks in and makes a run. bobrovsky deserves the vezina for sure imo

Pitt as long as Flurry can stop a few pucks.

I've not watched many western teams this year.

Haven't bothered checking microgaming as it's dead every day

Play some SH, FR was always getting less and less the higher you play even before BF

He was talking about 6m (apart from where he said full ring).

online poker in general seems to be in a long, slow death spiral. full ring is an early victim imo because mass tabling grinders love it so much and spazfish like SH. grind now while games like 100 and 200nl are still decent imo.

one other suggestion - if you have a big roll and don't tilt much, learn PLO. across sites and stakes, those games are consistently way fishier than the NLHE games I grind. just have to accept a disgusting amount of variance, but the games are ridic +ev if you're halfway good imo.

I was down 16 lbs a few days ago. Mrs fly's butcher sold her some country style pork ribs and that was just amazing w a wine reduction. Am afraid to get on the scale now. :-(

Ah my bad. I find starting tables really profitable if you don't mind playing SH. But yep games are pretty bad it seems

Could it be that nobody has any faith in cash outs? Is it a slow death in non-US markets?

I thought you were going to fade out of the playoffs. I posted that when they were down to the canes.

That certainly doesn't help, when the odd recreational player tries to cash out some winnings and realizes that it's a much longer wait than advertised. It's the culmination of many, many factors that you could write a book about. But yeah unless you can play on Stars, FR is basically not a serious option anymore. I play 90% six max now.

Even tho nlhe is a dead game I blame mostly the sites for running it into the fkn ground.

I could see some sort of comeback/ sustainability if a site got it right ie fast cash outs, fast customer service, limit amount of tables, mandatory sn changes, getting rid of micro stakes, reduced rake for both PLO and nlhe etc

Once sites stop being the formidable 7th or 10th man on the table and start accepting the fact that they are merely a broker bringing parties together the better things will get

I run so bad in picking poker sites. 20K below EV on FTP then site shuts down and has a ton of my money, and so does Lock. I feel like I've played for years and have only 1/2 the money I've supposedly made. So ****ing annoying.
