    ahhh you want some Ivey's secrets hey!;)

    I gave a secret to $$$ to reibs for helping me out.:)
  • so stars finally processed my withdrawal with no answers whatsoever as to why it was held in the 1st place, but whatever, sorry hobbes or anyone I have to ship on full tilt in the future if i ever buy a piece of you guys.

    Full tilt and some other site or 2 in the future for me and I can't wait for that day to come.
  • that has happened to me to, stars accuse me of something asking me to send in valid ID and stuff but when I ask them how I'm supposed to be related to this guy I never heard of they drop all charges without any kind of explanation. Feels very arrogant

    Well your one of my fav's, but that would be doing something nice, every time I do something nice I get stabbed in the back or dumped all over, so I am not going to do anything nice anymore.
  • Here. Enjoy!

    No offense philli, but why aren't you interested in improving your game? For someone who states that he would love to make money at poker you aren't utilizing the free resources available to you very well. All we hear from you is how you received bad beat after bad beat -- perhaps if you posted each of these hands then you would realize that you have leaks in ICM decisions or other areas of your game and winning players on here could help you improve. It would also help if you discussed how much time a day/week/month you spend playing vs reviewing hands and sessions and your study process.

    It is one thing to use a poker forum as entertainment but if you really want to become a winning player you should divide your time partly into constructive use of the forum as well.

    No offense, no worries. Just feeling very tired today. ;)
    Already done! :)
  • Well besides what I have already stated above when asked, I have the next 2 weeks, got no roll for at least another 2 weeks so gonna have the shakes by then,lol.(to review hands, study strategy, etc etc.)

    Don't ask me what the heck I am going to do this weekend after I get done what I need to do, gonna be boring.


    My life is gonna change here next week so all I am doing right now is dreaming of the future, got my poker future planned out(cause you know, expert players pre plan).

    If I am still moving, hopefully more space to have a decent set up for poker(desk,comfy chair etc etc).

    But just sitting back thinking good thoughts about what I am aiming for.
  • Wow over 2 weeks without playing at all, I have not really missed poker as much as I thought as I would but worried there might be some rust when/if i do get back to playing.
  • Ok maybe I am missing the pokerz, had a dream about poker last night(or a nightmare,lol).

    I am not sure when I will have the bankroll again as there is some extra expenses due to me starting a new job so could be awhile :(.


    I am thinking of new goals, like just making 10 bucks a day or around 70 a week from poker as a side income, it will help to go towards what I need/want and it is small enough to hopefully obtain and not get frustrated if I don't.:)
  • Just watching some 5.50 18 man's on full tilt, nice to see quite a few terrible players still!:wink2:. Calling off all there chips on a draw,lol well it's nice when they don't hit of course.
  • So still had a wee left on ub from a deposit months ago, played a couple of stt's and cashed in both, so still gotz the skillz after a break:).

    So looking even more forward to getting back to playing more, I will know more come Tuesday if I can or not or if it is going to be a couple more weeks.
  • been crushing winner take all stt qualifiers on betsson and 20$ SnG's the past few days. The winner take all 10r qualifiers are great cause the structure is slightly better than the normal bad structured SnG's on betsson so people have a really hard time adapting, I'm crushing them pretty hard.

    (including my 110 euro SM BI I won yesterday)

    Correction, Wednesday, stupid extra day in July:mad::(


    So I think I got er all planned out unless something happens of course, so:

    Main action will be on Full tilt.

    Back up site will be ub in case I start to run bad on full tilt.

    In the near future if it is possible and stars does not go anal on me withdrawing again stars will be for 5 card draw cash tables action, .25/.50 .50/1.00.

    Also may go back to poker time where I have made my biggest profits ever in poker but it has all changed there now and uses u.k. currency so won't be till I have a lil bigger bankroll.
  • weeeeeee just got a 1st place (stt)on ub, solid poker wins!:biggrin2:.


    13 out of the last 16 games I have now cashed on ub,lol:o:)
  • So what do you think is the best way to achieve at least 10 bucks a day?


    A: sit n go's, so go as what I was doing.

    B: cash games and sit on a table for 4 hours so it can be battle of the premium hands.

    C: 5 card draw cash tables, again as B need days with more time to make that happen.

    D: worse comes to worse, double or nothings if you can find any sites that don't have cheating rings.:p

    I will only have 2-4 hours max during weeknights except Monday's to play.

    I really don't think sngs are very profitable with the small volume that you play. I would say at low limits that cash games are by far the easiest way to earn with the lowest variance. If you are doing it just for the monies then see the comment above. If you are doing it to relax and make a bit of money while doing it then cash games.

    I would recommend getting the free 1 week trial on deuces cracked and d/ling all the relevant videos for your stakes of cash and sngs and then watching one or two a week for some study time. You can get all the videos you want for free in that trial period.

    Again, I think sngs are a waste of time as compared to cash games at lower limits, especially with low volume.

    lol, yes that is already gonna happen here and there. :)

    Thanks GTA, actually have been going over some free videos from elsewhere but may take a look. :)
  • Well still not sure what way to go, I think I have to play 5 nl to get to my daily goal but don't have enough roll yet to do that.

    Played a stt and cashed so 1/1 lol, been dealing with bs all day so too tired to play more, so not happy about that, so will see what tomorrow brings.
  • Have not gotten to play as much here at the start as I would like, but does anyone know what happen to the sng traffic on full tilt? Like wow it has slowed down I have noticed.

    I've been gone for a month and people noticed that the fishing hole had dried up.

    haha, actually I barely see any other Canadians, where do they play nowadays? same with stars last time I was there, not many Canadians, and I am talking evening time.

    I had been 6-8 tabling the superturbos last month with no problem loading them up.

    I am not sure if I would do good at those,lol But what is the secret or strategy to them?
  • So once again this is not looking good, may have to withdraw again, sigh.

    Played a few sit n go's, cashed in the 1 and just missed the money in the rest,lol so maybe sticking with stt's is the way to go.

    I have been trying cash games and even tried rush poker for something different......zippo, zero and nothing, mostly just lost blinds except for the 1 rush poker hand where I lost all of my buy in. :(


    Did anyone else get a bonus on full tilt? I got 100 bucks but there is no way I will clear it in just 21 days even if I had a proper bankroll.


    But If I ever do get a proper bankroll I might go into turbo's, as above I don't think I will do good in those super turbo's, just too much luck needed but once I start working I might need to find faster games.

    Any advice for regular turbo stt's? I guess poker night live stt's had a aggressive structure so these might work out for me once I get used a faster structure again.
  • So multitabling 18 man sng's, I have my best results in these so might as well stick with them, how I just squeeked out a profit in the set I just played I have no idea, I am getting screwed on the river so many times already, also I don't think I have won with AK suited yet.

    At least I am finally able to play for now.
