It took me about 15 minutes playing at (1) .05/.10 $10 buyin NL table.

Another way to look at it is winning 2-3 good size pots.

I made around $7.90 from my play plus the $5 bonus.

How long does it take to earn 10 FTP's at 10NL RUSH on FTP? FTP has a promo today that gives out 5$ free if you earn 10 ftps playing rush.
Wondering if it can be done profitably without getting killed? :)


Link??

Hmmm...must have been for specific players only. As to weather it's profitable I just logged into a 50nl Rush table and earned 14 points folding every hand for 27 hands. I lost $2 to the blinds.

No I don't think so I played yesterday as well. Besides the new update was released today.

Ahh ok, I thought I saw somewhere that it was for the 4th. No big deal really.

Think it was just a misprint or something. I still got credited the 5$ even tho it was the 5th.

I've been goofing around w the trial for HEM's Table Scanner for the last couple of days - I know a couple of the small stakes players are using it, anyone using it at micro?

I've always been kinda agnostic regarding which tool is better, PT3 or HEM - but now that I own both and have used both for a while (PT3 for about 9 months, HEM for about 2 months), I'm definitely moving toward the HEM camp, esp w the additional tools they're acquiring/developing...

Haven't tried it. Tho had someone recommend I try this one:
http://www.tablescanturbo.com/ it's currently free in beta. I guess if you use it you don't even have to use the FTP lobby.

I use this for ipoker, its a bit laggy and slow at updating but it gives you a good idea of the best tables and you can easily find where the bad players are at as it links to ur DB, i'd reccomend it personally as i use it at the beggining of every session. Not the best of tablescanning tools but its free and much better than nothing imo

fwiw, I find it difficult to play both FR and 6max at the same time - I find that either I get too agg on my FR tables, or too nitty on my 6max tables.

Yeah, scooping up VPP's at 5nl takes a lot of time/volume - I'd suggest focusing purely on your game for the time being, run like god (or like dsvw, same diff), and move up to 25nl next week. :D

And falling into the abyss continues...down a few more buy-in's and closer to busting and having to reload >,< On a brighter note, after watching some vids at DC I feel my game has come a decent way over the last 2 days as long as I dont take a results orientated approach.

edit// sorry about the HH, guess I needed to use phpbb and not html output?

Hmm.

Whats average 3bet sizing? 3x initial raisers raise, 4x or pot it?

We dont want to fold out everything we bet, and get called by everything that has us beat so I'm guessing the line can be villain dependant slightly?
