Well RED, that is exactly what I did to get in the $ on the B side of the tourney. Just happened that I barely slid in, got JQ suited right after the money hit and tripled up with qq4 flop. Patience can be key when things are going wrong.
or just wait till the cards come around.
Taht and some frog that thinks middle pairs are the bomb! Got him marked for the future!
Maybe you found your secret weapon....Nyquil. LOL
Could be delerious from the cold medicine, but sure seemed they were handing me the money today!
Good day at the tables. Not bad for .25/.50
77 knocked out my AA in the A! No luck there. Should have about $6 bonus for the double cash, so not too bad a day of entertainment while sitting at home with the flu. Also too $26 to $135 on the .25/50 table while playing the tourney. Now about time to lay my sick butt on the couch!
Screw the luck. Outplay them ... Okay maybe a little luck in getting some cards. :)
106th in the B
Just cashed in both ends of the Full Tilt Early Double. Still alive in both, so chance to make the best double finish with a little luck!
Let's hope we all win our way to the WSOP

Hope you do well. I won a sit & go last night but it took forever as i was also playing a freeroll and I kept letting the guy off the hook because my mind was on the bigger tourney. I finally beat him after he managed to stay alive on 4 or 5 all-ins. lol
GLTY
ck man, don't jhunt me down, been getting killed!Q Just kiiding. Play a lot of .25/.50. Vegas much mnore fun, have hit 4 dueces 3 times in the last three hours on the $2
I'll watch for you at FTP.
Thanx
I am wbill013 on FT
Plain and simple. Tax winnings and even put up daily load limits. Don't know what the holdup is with a dem congress, they love new taxes!
I guess there is negatives with anything one tries to play poker. Sucks that we are in a day and age in whichGovernment feels the need to step in with online poker yet they keep expanding gambling. Most poker sites would gladly pay taxes if it brings more of the U.S. players in.
I've done everything except email my docs to ePassporte which I had planned on doing Monday but FTP said I can also use MoneyGram and they will send me instructions on how to do that.
Thanx for all the help you guys and maybe we will see you on FTP.
My FTP user ID is: "bloochip"
Never had a problem with Epass. Biggest problem is some Visa cards look at them as a gambling site, but a simple phone call corrects that. THe only other problem is the fees, but heck, until the PPA gets us in better shape, that is our only choice.
you may want to sign up for Epassporte. Works just fine for me.
I just received an email back from FTP and they say if it's not on the deposit screen as an option for deposit then I can't use it.
I just checked FTP and mywebatm is not on the deposit screen.
Oh well, thanx anyway pup.
Good luck at the card table. ;)
I do but maybe they no longer accept it for any new players that sign up for it. I have it on my deposit screen
I didn't see "mywebatm" as one of the options on the FTP sight.
Do you use mywebatm at FTP?
TIA
Almost down to my last $10 on AP and then I just started betting more aggressively and getting better cards and now I am almost back to my initial deposit. Regular roller coaster, I sure hope I am learning something from this ....
GLTA at the tables
Read quite a few negative things with epassporte. I use mywebatm and real have no problems to report. Takes a few days to set up.
Thanx for your help guys.
I finally got the situation resolved and have been playing poker all day.
Still waiting to make a deposit for real money and have decided to use ePassporte to fund my FTP account.
Anybody know if ePassporte has any down-side that I should know about, or another funding agent that is better?
TIA
Might take a new download for you old account. There have been so many updates at FT that could potentailly cause that problem.
BTW, I have had plenty of success getting responses from supprt@fulltilt.
NP. So close especially heads up with KKs.
I tried all that stuff and it didn't work.
I finally heard back from one of the poker sights and they said they have been very busy and they were sorry it took so long.
I now have to re-open my old account and I am waiting for them to get back to me again.
Thanx for your response pup.

P.S. I played a local satellite last night for entry into a large tourney, but I had to win first place to win the entry and it came down to me (pocket kings) and another guy (ace/jack).
He went all-in and hit an ace on the flop and I missed a nice op into a big tourney for cheap. RATS. I hate getting sucked out on like that when I have such an odds advantage. lol
Thats a tough one considering they don't even respond to any emails. Suggest signing up for a new account and then explaining what is happening through the new email contact
Hi ya'll,
I've been trying to reactivate my old online poker accounts at pokerstars.com and Fulltiltpoker.com
I can play the "Play Money" games but it stops me when I tried to enter a satellite tourney leading to a "Real Money" tourney.
It asked me to validate my email address but they never sent me a new email validation code nor do they even respond to my emails.
I started a second email address without spam blockers to make sure the support emails can get through, but still no response.
Can anyone help?
TIA
Yes, been a couple of crazy days!
Thats where the problem lies. Most having been calling with stuff like bottom pairs/weak kickers or even one over card to the board. Oh Well. Guess I will just have to play through it
raising after the flop usuelly sits down the weak hands....
Thats the problem I am not bluffing and over the last few days I have been betting with solid hands. In fact 50% of the hands I am ahead on after the flop I am losing with players staying in and catching 2 Pair, Inside straights and runner, runner flushs
quit gambeling
only stay for the sure hands and no bluffing....
youll eventually get the hands and get your money back
After getting my Azz handed to me the last few days by donks at limit I have to find some way to limit my loses during this downtrend. Any ideas?
Well, while the rest of my play has sucked lately, was able to get $30 out of the Silver Free Roll on Full Tilt. Should of could of been much more but got called on my late all in by the leader who happened to be BB. My 4,000 to his 19,000 and total pot of about 13,500. I had AA so I had to raise the raise in front ogf me. Got him out, but not the BB. My AA against his 89 OS. Flop of 567 and to rub salt into the wounds, spade on the river to make it a flush for him!
Anyway, free money is good and it was a good call for him from that position witht he chips he had, so can't be pissed and defintely never act like one of those children that get crazy after the bad beat.
Seems like ithas been donk week all week. Man some crazy players this week. Although nights like last night drive you crazy, the good part is, in the long run those people making all the calls from behind will pay you back and then some!
Rough nite at limit tonight. Lost about 50% of the hands in which I was ahead after the flop. The donks where out and catching full force tonight. That was without any checking by me
OK, I give up! No more tourneys for a while! Doing great on cash and sit and go's, but once again getting murdered in the tourneys! Time to take a break from them for a week and see if things change when I come back
FYI, great learning tool. I just reminded myself I should have posted it here long ago. I started using it last September and it really improved my game. While I did not follow everything it said, it taught me to calculate odds and outs and hand ranks in my head. Don't even need it anymore, but anyone who has problems like I used to making stupid calls or understanding the odds in each hand it is great to learn with.

Thanks, I will try that. I think that may be my problem. I get real aggressive from the start. In the cash games, I will throw out bluffs every once in awhile to keep people on their toes, but mostly play tight and even fold decent hands if the bet does not justify the pot odds. Been kickin butt on those that way. I guess my mind is a mess, because I used to have a better hit rate in the tourneys when I played very tight, but I would not get aggressive enough as you point out and then barely make the money.
If this helps... I remember reading a few tidbits on playing turbo tourneys, especially lower buy-ins. Most are very Aggressive at first and then tighten up. The way I play and also what I remember reading was to do the exact opposite. I play tight (super Solid starting cards) early on with the hope of catching an aggressive player with a more than solid hand. I then gradually become more aggressive with my starting cards as the tourney goes on. I have been very successful at finishing in the money well over 50% of the time.
Holy smokes! Just took some poor guy for $120 over three hands. Every hand he had a good hand and I had a better hand. In fact, after the turn on all three, I had the nuts! Felt sorry for the poor guy, but oh what fun! I have been on the other end enough to know that sucks!
Play some turbo and some regualr. Mainly $24 and under. Will play sattleites for the bigger ones. Have done pretty well in the knock out tourneys. Even if I don't make the money, been getting my cash back with enough knock outs prior to getting knocked out myself!
No, same amount of players per table. Seems bluffs are being called far more often in the tourneys. I also seem tighter in the tourneys for some reason. Whatever it is, don't want to ruin my cash play, because that has been on a roll since December.
