Since nobody created this thread yet, I decided to create it. I have ran great during June. I hope to repeat it during this month also. I wish every cash game players on this forum who post on this thread become successful. Let the grind begin!!!!!

Going to start off my month by earning my next payment for my Deposit Bonus today. IMO FT has the best setup for deposit bonuses, at least out of the sites I have played at.

At least I did break even for the month in cash, excluding bonuses. F--- Rush Poker, but I will continue to play at the SS tables this month. The players there are extremely predictable, and I have been able to make way more than enough to counteract the higher rake. My main goal this month is to hit the $200 mark on my roll, which I should be able to do as long as I can get some good playing time in this month.

Good luck to everyone else!!!

In.

Nice one!

Any particular things that you'd attribute this to, other than running good? Changes in your game, or maybe even lack of changes?

This SB is playing 84/48 over 60 hands. Never seen someone catch so many cards in a session with absolute junk. I feel like I'm never gonna get anywhere...

Excellent.

Really enjoyed that. It makes points that can be incorporated in to every aspect of human lives. We do have limitations and only through accepting them and working around them are we able to overcome them. It's also interesting to realise that is the only we can improve as poker players, and I assume the only way we can improve as human beings in all aspects of our lives.

We are biologically built. We do stupid things for certain reasons. Once we understand these reasons and the fact that we do them, then we can improve.

moving back to FR lol after about a year at 6max, people dont play aswell postflop or just play straightforward compared to 6max at 25nl and 50nl IMO.

Yet to play 100 FR but shall see how that goes later on in the month.

Goal is to earn 20BI this month, I'm away for 2 weeks so about 1BI per day would be lovely Currently just under evens for today

Didn't play today which sucks, hoping to put a couple of big sessions in tomorrow. Really want to put some hands in this month, go for it for the first time while doing lots of studying.

I'm a 6-max spewtard but I have fairly nitty stats and I do for FR too. Is there a serious difference in playing levels between the two? I might be interested if it's worth it.

Good to see you back to winning ways and that you didn't give up over the past few shitty months you've had. Hope it continues.

I need to stop drinking and start playing. Getting way too lazy

Random Person: You shouldn't play poker, you'll get addicted and lose everything.

Poker Player: I actually don't play enough. I need to play more.

RP: Such a shame, already addicted. I can get you help?

PP: F UUUUUUUUUUUU!

hello august

hello hedge to the hog
i notice u have me put in the group DO NOT WANT on aim yet again

Goal is to play more than the 1800 or so hands I played in July.

Goal is to enjoy small amounts of poker again.

I played some FT steps today for lols. Set aside some pennies to play 4 step 2 9/6 mans, but only played 2. Won a step 3 and a step 1, then won my step 1 for a step 2. Not bad. I think try and run up to a step 5 and play a big money tournament or an FTOP.

I hate donkaments, I should be grinding too.

This month is rusty for me.

FTP Running Shorthanded Happy Hour in August (round the clock)

Throughout August, you can earn your Full Tilt Poker Points twice as fast when playing short-handed ring games.

Whenever you are playing on a 6-Max table with three or fewer players, or on a Full Ring table with four or fewer players, you'll earn double points.

This offer runs round-the-clock until the end of August.

Hmm, sounds good, for a second I thought you meant all 6-max games, they're sometimes referred to as short-handed. I would have loved that lol. Should be good though, an incentive to start some tables perhaps.
