Dunno, I only play 6 anyway, and they wernt resizable last night. The PP skin looks better than the titan one at least.

From what ive gathered there is re-sizable tables on the way next update. I really hate leaving stars though. Might just take a chunk out and go clear the $600 deposit bonus for a few weeks and see how it goes.

Ipoker is the worst. You get like 0.28 seconds to make a decision before you time out and auto fold, and if you don't have a big enough monitor to tile properly then the tables don't even pop up correctly.

I played on Titan for a couple of days as a break from stars (and to get the free stox membership) and after a little longer than one day i withdrew everything because my hands/hr was something like 1/3 what i was getting on stars. That and the fact that the titan $500 bonus was being released at like 15% rakeback or something, which wasn't worth the time.

Yeah, no point in playing on stars if you can get Supernova. Actually, you need to get several milestones bonus to make it comparable to FT with RB. Although to get full value from FT's promotion, you need to play really regularly. Like if you want to be iron level ironman (worth about $150/month), you need to play for 25 days over the month.

About the games being better... i'm not quite sure about that. For me, at 50nl PS was actually softer than FT overall. On the other hand, haven't played enough 100nl on Stars to be able to compare.

I've heard starting at 100 and through at least 400nl that the FTP games were much much softer than Stars. This is FR and I have heard it from several people. Most of this was several months ago, but I can't imagine FTP has dried up super fast and Stars certainly hasn't become fish-infested.

I railed for a few hours on Paddy Power last night, (its an Irish based i-poker skin, licenced and run in my own country omg some sort of legal fall back as well), the games on nl$100/200 were nothing short of insane.

Is that open to US? Open to any other countries besides ireland?

Every country apart from the US unless i am mistaken Zach. It just part of the paddy power sportsbook client, they are using an i-poker skin at the moment. But that company is huge over here, just found out that I can also cash in/out at any of the bookmaker offices here as well. There is a big one a 5 minute walk away. €500 per day max, need to check the t&c, thats just what they just told me on the phone.

sne is bad. I'm like 15k behind pace. I've gotten better recently though and the last few days have been at pace. I just need to get better about playing more and browsing CC/2p2 less. I think I may end up doing like a marathon week where I play 10k hands/day and that would end up making up for a little over 10k vpps over that week and put me close to on pace again.


About the blog: sorry, I even wrote a blog post, but there are some things I'd rather everyone in real life who has my poker screen name not know. I had the choice to either just water it down and provide very little content or simply not post. Obviously I've picked the latter ;).

Now that Zach won't tell us, we get to rampantly speculate about what it is.

My Guess: Rosie O'Donnel is Zach's baby mamma.

lol it's not even anything most of you don't know. I just basically don't feel like everyone knowing that I took the year off to play poker full-time.

Its a rake race from my rakeback provider. Top 65 get paid extra money on top of the ~$600 in rakeback I'm expecting.

That's so boring, you're obviously lying.

New rumor has been upgraded: Zach had a 3-some with Rosie O'Donnel & Donald Trump. Donald & Rosie both got preggars, and say the baby is Zach's.

Obviously your decision and such. But in my opinion it's going to be pretty hard to avoid talking about anything poker related on your blog in the next year without ever hinting to you taking the year off to play poker.

Unless you plan on not updating for about a year of course :).

I've come to realize that, which is why:

Well if you haven't noticed, it's already been over a month. I've sort of posted what would be the content of the blogs in this thread basically. If people I know in real life want to read this thread and read all the other random shit then good for them now they know :p.

There's a guy at my table at 100NL on FT who plays 20/5/5 (over 700 hands) and wins 4BB/100 over 20k+ hands according to tableratings. I think i'll want to analyse his game after my current session.
