Welcome back. Funny how you can go from giving away your HEM to back in the game in less than 2 pages of this thread!

July so fizar

Not one of my goals but I am also going for Iron man Status on FTP if I can, not going to push it though....

 

[Crummy]

I deleted all the ones I don't own obv. And actually, I own more of those than I thought. lol.

60% of mine are actual books......... and yes.... I did copy that list straight from the text file in the CD I was given. However it will be a fun 3 months of reading!

Getting Iron would require a ton of hands per day at 25nl. Gold should be well within your reach though.

Does anyone have any pointers on table selection on FTP?

Also,

Welcome back. Funny how you can go from giving away your HEM to back in the game in less than 2 pages of this thread!

Yes, funny how things work out sometimes.

 

[Jurn8]

after my bonus whoring im thinking of switching to FTP...

 

[WVHillbilly]

Does anyone have any pointers on table selection on FTP?

Yes, deep tables ftw. Avoid the short stacking scum!

 

[Jagsti]

Whats new (if anything) in the new FT update?

 

[The Shrog]

Yes, deep tables ftw. Avoid the short stacking scum!

I've already started playing the deep tables but only buying in 100bbs deep. This way the SSers arent in the picture as much. I'm really not experienced playing deep-stacked, so is this a problem?

No. That's actually how I play them as well. Buying in for 100bb just let's me avoid the scum.

Not sure what's new in the update Jag, but if it's like the last one it's just a bunch on new file types that they are implementing for graphics. They are just prepping to roll out their current beta with these updates, imo.

+1. Although that said I've just started marking competent shortstackers with the color-coding I'm fine playing with idiot shortstackers who just limp-call and play fit or fold or else just limp-fold all the time. So if a table has a few shortstackers I don't care but if there are a few I have marked then I'll obv avoid the table.

Yeha most likely gold, does anyone know if the happy hour 2x pints go towards your total for iron man?

 

[Debi]

FYI - Fredrik's first day in the wsop main event will be Monday - send him all of your best wishes!!

they dont.

 

[SeanyJ]

Finally Stars is going to show the hole cards when you get all in, I don't understand why they would make it so if one person disables it in the options no one will see the cards. I don't see why they even make it an option really but it's still about time!

Showing Hole Cards When All-In: In Ring Games, the default will now be to show the hole cards when everybody is all-in (just like tournaments). However, if you'd rather not show your cards until the showdown, you can deactivate this option in the 'Options' menu of the main lobby. The hole cards will only be shown if everybody in the hand has the option enabled.

 

[KingCurtis]

they dont.

That's unfortunate, 90% of my sessions are during the happy hours

Yea, I don't understand this.

Nice work so far KC. The end of your graph is str8 up. You have a couple of big hands? :top:

 

[GeoffLacey]

What limits you playing KC?

 

[cAPSLOCK]

I suppose I worded it wrong.... I got "some" digital copies... most are hardback/paperback.... A buddy had purchased all of them and gave them to me last night. However, nice assumption.

I hate to belabor the point... but your list reads EXACTLY like a torrent .nfo that can be found readily on the net.

Google "40+ poker books "

http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3835551/40__Poker_Books

You say your "friend" gave them to you?

How many levels deep you want to play it? I raise.

 

[Monoxide]

Yeah, he just got back from Korea (and leaves in a week to go back to his base). I'd assume he got them all for next to nothing, plus the disk he burnt me. Hey I don't mind being called out on something that looks phishy! I see the link and it is exactly as the text document reads! I see where he gets his stuff. You should see the stuff he brought back from over there... he said its like Christmas everyday with all the electronics, games, ect they sell on the streets.

Exactly! Plus here is how I look at it.... if I download it and I like it.... I'll go buy it!
