+++ July Cash Game Thread +++

[No Brainer]

The poker evolution software that was promised to always be free is now no longer free...

As funny as it may sound, the Equilab as u see it in front of you is and will allways be free to use to everyone.

It is true that the Equilab only runs until early July ".

The Equilab has hitherto always been freeware. This changes, however, from July, as the developer has chosen to make it a commercial product.

There is no information on prices, conditions, support, etc. pp. the manufacturer / developer.
(As soon as we find out further details we give out a News Release)

In any case, the Equilab for "Status-4 Member" can no longer be available (is).

Greetings Lutz

I started playing cash finally Just played 3 tables get a feel for it, won my first stack which was a good feeling and just started getting a feel for Full Tilts software which I wasnt a fan off for some reason. Enjoyed it so much I may play some more later which will be the most poker I have played in a while, expect me to post here later moaning

If you're playing micros don't play FTP, the rake is insane

Yeah and at least you get some sort of rakeback which at the lowest levels on stars your not gaining much bonuswise. Well I have only been playing two days and have seen hit and running, strange calls and some mad plays and I am loving it! Pretty much staying even untill a lost a few buy-ins earlier needed a few more points to hit my fifty goal for the day for the Ironman bronze so I went over to rush poker and people there wanted to give me their money so bad. Within 3 hands I had made the buy-ins I had lost back and more, and then I realised why they call it crack poker. I was like ok just one more hand then just one more etc.

Ok so my 1st deposit bonus counts against my rakeback as would an ironman, does this mean that if I wanted to try for the 25$ rush bonus that it would also count against my rakeback? I would consider doing it but want to play the majority of my poker at standard 9 man tables atm to learn.

The Rush bonus from Rush week you mean? It's like the Take 2 bonus, you'll just be given that amount and it won't affect rakeback at all.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

Yeah... PS doing that actually may have made FTP better with rakeback for the lowest stakes since the vpp program is pretty much non existent for 2nl players.

 

[coolnout]

Been playing some Rush lately to see what the level of play was like. Only played it for the previous bonus FTP offered. Kinda wanna go for a big bonus during Rush week. Sat down got coolered right away when someone shoved their AA's into my KK's. Tho these hands made up for it, was surprised when he called my river raise when I had quads and he flipped over ace high:

I've had full tilt totally freeze up and crash on me twice since that last software update today... just wondering if I'm the only one?



On a separate note... I found out today I'll be traveling to Las Vegas on business 4 separate times between Sept and Dec this year

 

[Tygran]

hrm..well I can't seem to log in at all atm.. maybe full tilt completely crashed? lol

 

[eberetta1]

Cash game thread? Well, I won $6.50 in tonight's $1000 Vibrations freeroll. Good, good, good. Good Vibrations. :congrats:

 

[No Brainer]

I think full tilt have put out a second update... This might fix your problems Tygran

 

[Pascal-lf]

Blargh didn't realise just how much it had gone up on Stars Can't wait to move up stakes out of micros...

fold preflop! for real, you're not even suited and both UTG and UTG+1 have shallowish stacks so it wouldn't even be worth a call suited. if you're making many of these calls preflop you're probably leaking some money

definitely bad hand i luckboxed.

 

[Tygran]

Never seen this before... My rakeback is showing a negative amount for yesterday (this is at full tilt so possibly connected to FTP crashing?).

Anyone seen that before?

did you do anything to get negative rakeback? play tourney with overlay, use ftp points, etc...

Nope.

Haven't spent a single point (period) on my account and haven't played in any tourny's...done nothing but cash games.

 

[SPCotter]

CC Freeroll?

 

[Tygran]

Actually that might be it....

it's showing an awful lot of negative rake for one freeroll. I had forgotten about that... it was weeks ago though and they are showing it as yesterday.

(i signed up to play then forgot about it and didn't)

 

[WVHillbilly]

Have you been clearing any bonus (other than the mid-year)?

 

[Tygran]

Have you been clearing any bonus (other than the mid-year)?

no

 

[WVHillbilly]

How much of a MGR hit was it?

 

[Tygran]

Ah..it must be the midyear bonus, looks like that just cleared in last couple days. the amount also matches the rakeback hit.

I didn't even know that existed lol (i've not been on FTP real long..only seriously playing there the last 2 months)
