***Funking Fantastic February Cash Thread***

[LuckyChippy]

I'm making it this month so I get all the run good! First time too. Very excited for this month, I think it's going to be my best in poker yet and lots of plans and things outside of poker too. Goals etc. to come later, one of them being the sexy prop bet everyone should sign up for here: https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-goals-challenges-wins-46/february-volume-prop-thread-205954/

So everyone, let's run good and have a good laugh when we don't. Make of Feb what you choose.

Americans gtfo for the next 5 hours at least but I'll see you in Feb for what will be the best funking month yet

February has the potential to be a very interesting month. I am slowly transititioning my roll back over to Stars to access the new rake structure, although I still want to maximize the value of my Party bonuses. Playing 2 under-rolls side by side, whilst trying to achieve a volume prop bet (with myself unfortunately) should provide ample opportunities for epic failure. Will be fun nonetheless.

Get funking, funkers!

Since I've already closed January thread you're in limbo! Must suck to be a left coaster right about now.

bluffing for value. I had a couple of notes about his minraising tendencies!


PartyGaming - $0.25 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players

UTG: $49.35
MP: $5.88
CO: $25.35
BTN: $25.00
Hero (SB): $37.02
BB: $25.57

Hero posts SB $0.10, BB posts BB $0.25

Pre Flop: ($0.35) Hero has 8:spade: 8:heart:

fold, fold, CO raises to $0.75, fold, Hero raises to $2.50, BB calls $2.25, fold

Flop: ($5.75, 2 players) 2:heart: 7:spade: J:spade:
Hero bets $3.25, BB raises to $6.50, Hero raises to $34.52 and is all-in, BB calls $16.57 and is all-in

Turn: ($51.89, 2 players) 7:heart:

River: ($51.89, 2 players) 8:club:

Hero shows 8:spade: 8:heart: (Full House, Eights full of Sevens) (Pre 67%, Flop 81%, Turn 5%)
Hero wins $49.30


February rungood came through for the river resuck.

 

[Cafeman]

if you had a good read, you were raising for value.

 

[micromachine]

Febuary =
-Play a mixture of 10NL, 5NL and 2NL depending on time of day and my mood (not different limit tables open at same time though)
-More discipline when playing
-Make $100+ profit
-stop being such a nit

 

[acky100]

NoOneYouKnow, what are these new rake structures at stars? Give me good news please!

 

[micromachine]

It is good news, you play 25NL right? Well it's now 4.5% rake instead of 5%.

Even better if you play 2NL it's now only 3.5%!

 

[WVHillbilly]

Yeah but that means less rakeback!

 

[absoluthamm]

Yeah but that means less rakeback!

So you'd prefer an increase over the decrease for more rb?

NL6 and NL16 are stupid...

Although, I do like these

PokerTableRatings (PTR)
PokerStars opposes the exposure of player information by PTR and will take whatever action it can to prevent this information from being publicly disclosed

Max Table Caps
We have been briefed about plans to cap the maximum number of tables. If you keep timing out and frustrating other players by acting more slowly than the average player, Stars will reduce the number of tables you are allowed to play. If you are playing 24 tables and acting much more quickly than the average player, you may get a max table increase.

They have been trying to kill PTR for a while, so we'll see how much of a difference it will be. But the max tables...brilliant. I hate when I am playing against someone playing too many tables to handle because it takes your hourly at that table down dramatically. At the same time, there are some that are fully able to play 24 tables and maybe a couple more, so it will be nice for them to not have to be stuck at that amount(No chance that's me)

 

[LuckyChippy]

I'm gonna go play 24 tables and see how long it takes to get banned.

In. I hardly played in January (real life sucks sometimes). My goal is to play a session every day this month. I have no money goals though. Whenever I set a "I want to/expect/should win x amount it always causes me to turn into a spew monkey. When I set volume based goals and ignore the cashier my graph goes up up and away.

Good luck everyone.
