Haven't had time to play at all the last few days...hopefully I'll get a game or 2 in this evening!

Thanks for the advice :)

[100lbStriper]

ok cool thx.

[RDG013]

STRIPER, I know they are out there, but not sure of an exact title. An internet search may do wonders. Also, I do not have the link on this computer, but if check my past posts here, you will see a link I have given for "Texas Calculatem". It is a software that attaches to your game and gives you Hand percentages and outs, plus advice. This is what I used to learn how to calculate odds in my head.

[100lbStriper]

Do you know of a book that has all the percentages for your chances of winning with your initial 2 cards ?

[originunknown]

wow, pretty amazing!!

[Seminole Red]

nice hands..

[Dspetry]

Insane 1st hand of WSOP !!!

[RDG013]

dj, just remember as you get into cash games, Chris Ferguson once said not to put more than 10% of your bankroll at any single table. If you start getting higher than that, it makes it difficult to call some bets, as you start to worry abouot your overall bankroll.

Build it slow, even if you are starting at the .05/.10 tables, you can have some fun, hone your game and slowly build your bankroll with smart playing.

Nope. Got nothing for it. It was free to enter and the top 20 or 25 I think got entry into another one they have every Saturday with $1500 guaranteed payout (or some such thing...I really didn't pay attention)..I just entered because I saw my brother was entered and I wanted to beat him LOL! I did too...he was out at 700-something.

I haven't been brave enough to get into a cash game yet but I've watched a couple for a few minutes. My hundred bucks is going quick and if I get into one of those I'll be hitting the deposit button real soon LOL I need to learn to throw out crappy cards and not hope for the best (gee...just like my stock port!)...then I think I could get somewhere.

[RDG013]

Did 437 cash? Tourneys usually cash about the top10%. I prefer cash tables. Start low and try to build up. Only problem, for the past 8 months, every time I get to the $1/$2 I implode. Will get past htat sooner or later.

Girlfreind finally went to work, so gonna sneak a couple hours of sleep, then head to the office!

[djr63]

LOL I'm trying. I did ok in a couple of tourneys...haven't won anything but didn't do too bad.

One had 5000 people and I came in 437th and the other had 90+ people and I was 37th.

I haven't been playing that long really (not Holdem anyway)...only a couple of years off and on.

Have a nice weekend!

[RDG013]

WTG Deej! Work your way up

[djr63]

Hey Bill...I played 2 sit and go games tonight on AP and I actually won both of them!! WOOHOO!!! LOL

I'm still only playing the 50 cents and 1 or 2 dollar buy in games until I hone my skills some more.

Have fun and good luck!!

[RDG013]

Looks like I am finally out of my bad beat slump. Felt like Clark Griswald Saturday and Sunday as everything that could hit on the River was for my opponents. If not that, they would have a 1 higer set than me. Took off until this afternoon and looks like I am back! Just about to my 100 Full Tilt Points for the day, so I am not going to push my luck. Head out and watch my Black Hawks instead.

[plastipunk]

Thanx RDG

[RDG013]

See, good people.

[plastipunk]

I was just replying to you again and decided to check my email and FTP finally responded.

They said it takes them time to review the records, so it sounds like they are on it.

And yes, I did send them the game ID#s twice, and just now a 3rd time, so it looks like they may resolve the issue, hopefully. lol

Thanx for the feedback RD. Enjoy the Superbowl. ;)

[RDG013]

Alll I can say is they have always taken care of me. Did you send a link of the actual game? Without that, it is hard to trace. Every game has an ID# and you need to give that to them to track. If you did not, it is possible, they won't be able to find it. If so, they will most likely give you a mess of FT points to try to make up for that.

[plastipunk]

I thought the same thing. Maybe they will eventually catch up with me, but it's been awhile and they have never taken this long. Granted they were probably overwhelmed with email when the problem occurred but it's on the 3rd day now and still no respond
to 4 emails I sent support and the cashier.

I don't hold out much hope, but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.

TIA

[RDG013]

I have had that happen in the past and they reimbursed me. Can't imagine they would not do the same for you. Maybe they are having some other issues to that is slowing theirresponse.

[plastipunk]

I had a negative experience the other day on FTP. Perhaps some of you have seen the same.

FTP servers went down and I sat there and watch the game continue taking my chips in the form of blinds but the software would not let me back in the game. The blinds went fast too, as I was playing a 2-man sit & go.

I respectfully emailed support, more than once, and they won't even respond (they always respond to me concerning other issues). It's tough enough to keep from losing money playing poker, but when I lose my money that way then it's time to move on.

P.S. The least FTP could have done was contact me and tell me there is nothing they can do when the servers go down. But not a word from FTP.

later

[RDG013]

Well Will look for you at FT. Play mostly sit and go's for tokens, KO tourneys and sats to the big tourneys when not playing on the cash tables.

Cash goes from .25/.50 up to $1/$2, depending on how I have been doing. If I ever get hot on the $2, will graduate higher. Always seem to hit the roadblock there. One day, I will get over it

[puppman]

Set over set is always a money maker. Congrats. By the way my full tilt name is Daflopman. Haven't played at ftp in awhile but I am going to give it another try tonight. Most my time is spent on PS

[RDG013]

heck yes! Just took my biggest Full Tilt Hand to date. $248. Hit set of KKK and other person hit his QQQ on river! Wow!

[Seminole Red]

hang in there...play smart

[RDG013]

Nice evening on Full Tilt. Killing a little time before heading out on 2 .25/.50 tables. Started with $26 on both and currently sitting at $77 on one and $63 on the other! Got a little over an hour left to see what else transpires!

[Seminole Red]

ill give it a look...bodog gives nothing.

[RDG013]

I find that FT plays darn close to real odds. Of course you will always have those who moan every time they get a bad beat, but that happens everywhere. Over time odds seem to be right. Also like the bonuses from points and Ironman.

[Seminole Red]

bodog....i sign on and play....im also on poker stars but seldom go there....

[Seminole Red]

im play money too....BODOG FOR ME... ied be willing to try full tilt...

[RDG013]

Have you been playing on any sites, or just live?

[RDG013]

I play money. Also heard Absolute Poker is pretty easy to get set up, but i am pretty drawn into the FT Iron Man competition and getting very close in FT points to get me a couple of barstools for my breakfast bar.

[Seminole Red]

full tilt....ill have to try it ....money or free ???

[RDG013]

If anyone is on Full Tilt, what are your user names? I am Wbill013 on FT.

[RDG013]

the way tonight is ging so far, wish I was asleep! Got 15 pts lft for my 100 FTP for the day. If things do not change soon, time to hit the couch. Have had AA busted twice and sets hitting on the river three times to beat me. Calling fools keep calling for two outs and hitting!

[Seminole Red]

if its faster maybe you wont be falling asleep now....lol

[RDG013]

Just installed the new broadband card and it is faster! Called Verizon and asked where the poker cheats are for the card! :>

[Seminole Red]

good.....now if they would just make one for our brains.

[RDG013]

No, in my brain! Broadband card works just fine most of the time! In fact, Verizon is sending me a new broadband card that should double my speed and bring it even closer to cable!

[Seminole Red]

ouch....get dsl ??

[RDG013]

Shoot, sure would be nice to play like that all the time, but always sem to get a disconnect just as things are starting to go well in tourneys!

[Seminole Red]

good job....now what ya think would happen if you played like that all the time !!! scarry huh ???

[RDG013]

Well, last night was all a matter of timing. Was sure of getting in on the A tourney and needed to slip in on the B fro the double cash bonus. If it had been a normal tourney, probably would have made my last stand sooner, but with this one, better being patient.

[puppman]

That is one approach but there are times when the cards never come and one gets blinded out.
