In Stars go to options and make sure that have "instant Hand History" option clicked (probably yes because see cash games ok), and also in options have the "tourney Summary" option, need to click this too and save in a folder to Hem read tourneys, then make sure HEM is reading both folders.

From the previous month's thread, but today's the first chance I've had to try this out.

This seems to do it for me. I don't play enough tournaments so I rarely check the results so I never would have noticed that I wasn't collecting summaries, but I guess the tournament hands go there as well?

Anyway, it seems to be working now. Thanks.

Yay for Summer!

This month I'm looking at larger field tournaments. Not sure if I'll come back to multitabling, but to start I'm going old-school -- one at a time.

The toughest thing for me will be busting out 2 hours before bedtime and NOT firing up a smaller SNG for the sake of playing more. Hopefully commiting here will help with that needed discipline.

Run good, my friends!!

If you're playing large field tournaments you'll hate it if you one table. The variance is huge, you could literally go months without cashing.

Yeah, I understand that -- I just am feeling like really thinking about the game while I am playing it. Even 4-tabling tiled was feeling too robotic. During the week I'll most likely just play a 180 so I'm not up too late. Those are slow to fill in what used to be American prime time, and now are the slow hours -- so I don't usually have time to multi those anyway.

The key to my goal is the walking away -- too often I'll look at how much time I have and choose my game accordingly. Gets me into too many turbos, too, which doesn't help the variance any. I'll be on vacation as of tomorrow, so maybe a break will do me some good (though I'm sure I'll book a day or two to sit in a wifi cafe and play some "cards" -- better check the closing time first, though, eh? lol)

Well played 2 sats, didn't win a seat so just went meh, sold 65% and now going to buy in direct

From Monday, you won't have to pay any rake in PartyPoker Multi Table Tournaments any longer.

PokerStrategy.com has learned that PartyPoker is about to launch a new promotion in which all MTT fees will be removed. The promotions will run until further notice.

Apparently

Dear PocketFives Member,

PartyPoker has a great offer for tournament players - rake-free MTTs starting on Sunday, July 3rd at Midnight ET. The promotion will run until PartyPoker announces their end date. Sign up today if you don't yet have an account, and take advantage of the opportunity!


Can confirm that it's showing in the lobby too!

I am in, been out of town this weekend.

Goals
Play more than I did in June
Keep the profits up (I have been happy with it the past 2 months)
Work on a withdrawl

Anyone in here read Jared book already? (The Mental Game).

ok, good, very good?.

Anyone notice that Stars is getting tougher after FTP shut down?.

Usually in my games reach HU in 600-1200 level but have some sessions that we reach 1200 level and still 4-6 players left all with avg stack, all in red (14/11 to 18/15).

Poker is dying

Lots of regs moved over.

The depressing thing about MTTs is you can have a breakeven day which feels worse than a losing day because of so many bricks. Had 4 final 2 table or better finishes where there was over $1k up top today, sighhh

Lol 20-something in $3r 40k on Stars, what a nasty day

I never notice any difference, but I dont know who's good or not.

Made day 2 of Sunday Special (100 euro buyin) on Pokerstars.fr, 150 left got just below average!

First shot so very happy, 32k up top, one time!

Good start to the month for me, weeeeeeee


Hope y'all are faring better than I, Still hopeful this will be a positive month though

Not getting to play much this month, having to deal with Carbon support....hope all is having a good month though.

Haven't played since the Full Tilt shutdown... and I'm actually not minding. Not having to get on every single day to grind out Ironman points is kind of a relief.

Live tournaments, LOL

Blinds 1500/3000, folds to BTN who shoves for 17K, I shove for 22K, BB tanks, stack size is 20.5K. BB has joked all night long that his poker book will be The Art of the Suckout. BB finally calls say he just can get away from that many chips in the pot,

BB has K7o, BTN has AJo, I have AQs

Flop is K72 and turn and river brick out.

{sigh}

Stars was a fail?.

Games look more dry everyday

Still don't like the software and CBF depositing on there but more to the point I'm just enjoying the break from the grind.

Well i'm finished for Carbon support as of now. I had to go thru the "security verification process." Which now I should have a fairly easy time withdrawling..which will be soon so we will see.

Playing in the 1,500 guaranteed freezeout right now on Carbon...first time playing in about 3 weeks...see how much damage we can do.

this is the suckiest thread i've ever seen...

Weee I am back!

Had a ball playing live last couple of weeks even though I managed not to cash anything out of like 7 tournies and busted UKIPT first level.

Back to online now, wanna go for 500 games in the next two weeks

How did you like live tournies compared to online?

Internet connection where I am at hasan't been the best lately because of some recent storms, they said yesterday it should start getting back to the norm today and be fine by tomorrow...so far this morning it has been good so maybe try to get some games in this afternoon/later tonight.

more stt, more mtt, more nl, more plo, release more bonus more faster

Last weeks as been really sad for me, first 15 days was break-even in my games, then some loses in $7īs, some bad stakes, but most of the damage come from a family event wich end been very expensive, also we have visits in the house most days wich cut my volume more than half, added to that reach 13th anniversary with the wife, so long story in short ... ended cashing out most of the $ in my account and only leave $50 to play poker.

This was a very painfull stepback on poker for me. I donīt remember the last time was playing 50c games

I canīt reload for some time wich mean will have to stick to BM. 18man lower buyin is $1.50 so have to change to 45man/$0.50 and start from the bottom again. Soul was crush for a couple days, but nothing else to do.

In the positive side. Up to $65 so far, so goal will be playing $1.50 games soon (<--****ing sick/depressing goal).

Hope everyone is doing better.

Umm interesting I guess, I've still got tons to learn. There are loads more spots to take advantage of and you can alter your image/lines much more effectively because people pay way more attention. But the variance is nuts, especially as most of the tournies I played were turbos, and busting hurts a lot more than busting a random MTT online

I understand where you coming from, I am cashing out a big part of my roll soon since I am getting ready to move out and won't have time for a job because of school.
Going to leave though around 150 or 200 in my roll so I don't have go down too bad in stakes.

GL on the move Dawg.

Was thinking in maybe look for a stake but probably that will hurt more in long term, so need to focus now in what i have and bye-gones.

So far played 100+ already of this 45īs and roi go around 15-20%, start to mix half tables $0.50 and other half $1.50īs (so abi=$1) still not the ideal but canīt/donīt want to stay this low for long.

Feeling positive and trying to push my game, so my goal is going to be play at least 20hrs this week even if mean play really late or really early.

GL to all.
