And you had to register all over again, thus having a clean slate on both sides, what would you different than you did prior to black friday?

For me, I would definitely take advantage of rakeback. And if they didn't have rakeback, definitely take advantage of whatever rewards program they offered.

I would also focus my attention on ring games instead of SNGs/MTTs with intent of being able to multi-table 100NL+ as a possible form of extra income. 400NL is the ultimate goal. I think I'll probably start around 10NL and work my way up. I'm really upset I just messed around in micros didn't take it as seriously when FTP/PS was around, but if given a second chance, I plan on taking full advantage of it.

I don't think I can fully give up MTTs, but it's definitely not what my main focus will be.

I was just thinking I'd focus MORE on MTTs, I've become more accustomed to them ever since. I always thought they were 'daunting' or something silly back then.

I also regret not going into all that afiliate bussiness, i would have hundreds of players playing under my link right now, but yeah i would def start playing MTTs, think the ceiling is higher (Still is) and the field were ridic softs back then, but also promoting affiliates, building up a group of players.

Dont worry they WILL be back. Eventually, but back to your question. I would try and play every guarantee I could. I know the points are great but cash is king right? So im trying to get every bang for my buck.

I would appreciate the fact that if I don't have time to play a MTT, I could jump in a SnGo and not wait for Fking ever 4 it to fill up.

Start playing cash games, with all the extra traffic from the US there is bound to be a lot of fools joining in with them.

I would go back to grinding 10+ hour sessions playing every mtt that had a decent guarantee on it . It is really sad the current state of poker in the US compared to pre BF . I almost wanna cry thinking about it :(

Pokerstars is so reliable in term of payment and you can play with confident.
That was before Amaya, under them nobody knows how they would´ve hanlded the black friday issue, even after they got their US money frozen they still paid $125 million to their US players, we cant asure under Amaya they would have done the same.

I would actually play more mixed games as I feel they give you better earning opportunities.

FTP was about to send me a bunch of "I busted a pro on FullTilt" tshirts when black Friday happened, so the first thing I would do is try and get the shirts they owe me!!!!!!
