I play at Party and William Hill. Stay the **** away from Bwin.

Good to know.

Any non-biased ideas to a really good bonus code or am I gonna get CC'ed Party looks like 100% at $500 is the best I've seen with 33%(?) rake-back. Wondering if anywhere offers any other extra little bonus'.

 

[Suited Frenzy]

I don't get to play much but my last 4 sessions (1400 hands total) have been horrible. I can't seem to win any big pots lately, it's so annoying. My doomswitch is def on.

I've hit my career valley according to PTR, how lame. I'm determined to change that really soon. Focus, focus, focus.

Is the rakeback at Party actual rakeback or their VIP-program? It's hard to get 33% unless you play a lot. I think their Palladium level gives something like that, which is easy to clear if you play ~20k hands/month at 200NL or so, but I'm not sure what their bonuses are like at the less-than-Palladium level.

Can't help you with signup bonuses. I assume the $500 deposit bonus at Party is standard at you probably won't find a better one anywhere.

Also, if you're playing Party you probably want to consider switching to the old interface if you're multitabling because the "new" one uses a lot of computer resources. At least it was that way when it came out (and I switched back to the old GUI and never tried it again). For william hill, you may want to look into getting MiniMaxMod, at least if you're playing a lot and multitabling.

Ahh so Party is more of a VIP rakeback site. I'm not a very high volume player tbh though looking to play more recently.



As it happens I'm 2.3k hands into my FR adventure over the 2 days I've played. Up just over a buy-in which sucks after being up 4 but meh, I was running above EV and now I'm back to normal.



FR seems agonisingly slow sometimes, though the play isn't as good as 6-max. Folding so many hands is hard though after several months of 6-max haha. Think I've tightened up as much as I need to and my first bunch of stats look ok to me. Carry on then .

Also my redline is about break even instead of declining as it was at 6-max which is kinda cool.

My picture:

Not fun

 

[Krayz]

Ak just fell to AA for $2 more lost

Really frustrated right now. I'm really math oriented and stuff, yet I can't seem to play winning poker.

 

[Suited Frenzy]

Don't get discouraged Krayz, you have to keep a positive mind set. As soon as your doomswitch is turned off, you will start winning hands like AK vs. pkt aces. Keep trying man, you'll get it.

At 2nl shoving with AK is almost never bad. Of course there are players, even way down here, who wont raise, much less shove, with less than KK+. I assume this guy wasn't one of those.

 

[LuckyChippy]

FR is tilting the shit outta me.

 

[WVHillbilly]

You have to give those FR nits credit. They always have it.

 

[Jagsti]

Anyone else in here grinding Rush pokerz?

Rush poker is the work of the devil. I'm just this month getting unstuck from my Rush poker adventures.

Hmm, I've heard quite a few mention this. I have only got 30k hands in though so still evaluating it.

Not sure I'm noticing too much difference as yet but only a tiny sample atm.

How many tables you playing WV?

I don't want to

Ahh well, let's keep going.

Usually 10, occasionally a couple more.

How many were you playing when playing Rush?

 

[WVHillbilly]

How many were you playing when playing Rush?

I tried up to 4 but usually 2. I sucked equally with both.

 

[LuckyChippy]

Anyone else notice you spend the first 3 or 4 positions auto-folding or getting set-mined?

 

[TheOne2Watch]

I win my money on the MTT, take it over to the ring tables and donate it those players. Kind of like Robin Hood only dumber

What's your range from UTG/UTG+1???

 

[LuckyChippy]

At 6-max I'm a spewtard raising 78s's and baby suited aces, but at FR I'm raising JJ+ even though I think JJ is a fold.

EDIT: AK too.

EDIT 2: 10nl btw.

 

[blankoblanco]

JJ is nowhere near a fold UTG at FR. i open 88+/AQs+ UTG, AQo and KQs depend on the table, and i consider that a pretty standard tight range

Hmmm, I always thought it was QQ+. There I am opening 1010 and feeling bad about it lol. Is this correct for the micros though? Thanks for the info.
