Well, ran another session tonight, and of FUCKING COURSE it went horribly. Won 2 step 2's, but lost a lot of buyins in the process. Unbelievable the b******t I ran into, every single time I got called down and I was ahead I lost. PP vs 1 over? They hit. PP vs lower PP, they hit trips. 2 overs vs same suited overs, they catch a flush. Fucking so rattled, gunna take a few days away from poker.
Really not satisfied with how this run is going now, but all hope is not lost.
Oh, and here's a graph showing I'm running WELL under EV, in case someone (we all know who) trys to open their mouth and say "Oh ret's a bad player blah blah blah". Red line is EV, green is how I'm running. He'll probably use big words like "ICM" and "EV", but I frankly don't give a s**t since I've watched how he plays, and he obviously has no clue.

Posted by magatt966: Time for an update imo
Yeah, sorry about that. I've been pretty tied up with holiday s**t, moreso than I thought. Had thought I'd be able to sneak some play time in, but between family time, xmas and new years, it's been pretty hectic. I apologize, but I'm hoping to get some more volume put in. Girlfriend is going to be gone for 2 weeks, starting on the 11th, so I don't know what things are going to be like before then but I'll post when I can lock something in.
Thanks for everyones patience, hope you all had a good holiday.
*Edit* don't worry, maniez and ticketz are still safe.

Okay, so I've been caught up in getting back into the swing of work, plus helping my gf get ready for her trip, plus holiday obligations as well as new years, and don't anticipate things will be any better until she leaves. The good news is, she leaves late friday, so after I take her to the airport, I will have 2 weeks of absolutely nothing to do.
So as of next saturday, I will be grinding like a mofo until this bitch is done. Seriously apologize for how long it's taking, just didn't anticipate things being as busy as they are. I could put in some games, but after all my day duties are done, I wouldn't be playing my a-game.

Only got 8 games in today, and even those games took almost 2 hours to get going. Barely anyone on, so I just gave up. Was a decent session, although lost a couple flips to ridiculous calls. Including AQ vs J2o, when someone who was like 73/9 open limped UTG. How the hell you limp UTG with j2o and then call a LP shove is beyond me.
Anyways, ended up around 1.5BI. Will try tomorrow during the day, when there's more traffic.

Posted by dozn01: lmao @ this thread took me 30 mins read to it all,
Should have waited for it to come out in audio form. I bet you have a headache after all that reading.
Anyways, ANOTHER fucking b******t session. My hands just aren't holding. 4 times I ran pocket Kings into either 1 over, or an under pair, and 4 fucking times they sucked out. Won 1 step 2, but lost 5 step 1's in the process, so down again, although massively +ev.
Pretty sure I ran into 2 players colluding too. I mean there's NO WAY to explain this fold:
Full Tilt Poker Game #31892311060: Step 1 (Super Turbo) (247591652), Table 1 - 40/80 - No Limit Hold'em - 22:06:08 ET - 2013/01/14 Seat 1: Retribution1979 (400) Seat 2: Serg228 (480) Seat 3: geeza09 (170) Seat 4: JohnnyQuid787 (425) Seat 6: JBjackpot69 (90) Seat 8: rippfluid (980) Seat 9: chucky111 (155) JBjackpot69 posts the small blind of 40 rippfluid posts the big blind of 80 The button is in seat #4 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Retribution1979 [Jc 6s] chucky111 folds Retribution1979 folds Serg228 folds geeza09 folds JohnnyQuid787 folds JBjackpot69 raises to 90, and is all in rippfluid has 15 seconds left to act rippfluid has timed out rippfluid folds rippfluid is sitting out Uncalled bet of 10 returned to JBjackpot69 JBjackpot69 mucks JBjackpot69 wins the pot (160) *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 160 | Rake 0 Seat 1: Retribution1979 didn't bet (folded) Seat 2: Serg228 didn't bet (folded) Seat 3: geeza09 didn't bet (folded) Seat 4: JohnnyQuid787 (button) didn't bet (folded) Seat 6: JBjackpot69 (small blind) collected (160), mucked Seat 8: rippfluid (big blind) folded before the Flop Seat 9: chucky111 didn't bet (folded)
And I don't buy for one fucking second that he timed out, since that was the ONLY time I saw him hesitate for even a second. I also watched after the hand, and he didn't sit out or miss a beat the next hand. BB was actively aggressive towards the entire table, EXCEPT that guy. Going to send FT a report, however I don't expect them to do s**t all about it. I mean, how much more fucking obvious could it be. There's litterally NO way to justify that fold which is why he purposely timed out, so that he didn't have to.

If it was just one hand it may happen. It has happened to me before raising a bet with nuts, the other player reraised and before i even pressed the all in button i lost the stupid connection. So eventually my hand was folded and lost it.
FT is not the same site is was before Black Friday. Not the only one that noticed this as I read on the training site where I'm studying PLO strategy that FT is down 53% of players from it's new start up. Think things will get worse before they better. They need their US player base back and soon. "Two hours to get 8 games going" is not a good sign imho. Back in the day one cud blow 8 of these types of games off in no time.

The maximum number of players i have seen so far in Full Tilt was about 53000, but that was only once. In general the numbers as been said are way down and old players have to have noticed that.
Are we gonna see any closure on this staking any time soon?
