What I see is he doesn't update this thread ion a daily basis but only answer when this thread is bumped up (and not everytime it is). This means, in my opinion, he doesn't stick to this bap thing. Now because of traffic, then beacuse of BeMYATM intrusion, then because of gf, then because of a project to be completed as soon a s possible, then because FT issued a promotion in february and so on....
Last days he is not updating but he has a valid reason: meteors over russia

Playing now. Ugh, first game, 2nd hand in, Im MP, shove 88, get called by K9 in CO, he flops trips. So retarded.
48k players online, and still slow as s**t to get a game.
------------ Never seen so much bull fucking s**t in my life. 3 handed, I have 1400 chips, other 2 have around 3-400. Ended up bubbling losing ridiculously to terrible calls. So pissed off right now, take forever to get a fucking game, and then lose to idiots.

Is there any way to change the plan to play some games that fill up faster? Or are there any other good games where you can use step2 tickets? Just an idea ..

Good luck on the games
Unfortunately not. Once in the steps, you cant exit until step 3.
Omfg, by fucking far the worst session ever. A combination of being absolutely fucking card dead, and losing key flips where I was ahead, and it was a TERRIBLE session. Down 6 step 2's and got NOTHING but RB and points for my effort. On top of that, wasted 3 fucking hours.

Seriously, one of those days
Oh I actually remember reading something like that about steps tickets.. just forgot about it.. Good luck on the next session
sometimes we lose the battles....the war isn't over. In spite of the session u managed another ticket so all is not lost. Unfortunately no one has control over time factor...as you know. Just one of those days...keep up the good work and we'll see how it all shakes out

Only ten days left for this month. I wonder if we are going to see a closing in this thread after all. Its one that some people anticipated the most to see it locked

Posted by rbdflyboy: when checking the chart looks like the bankroll increased enough for another step 1 ticket...unless that roll balance is something different
Yeah, part of that is rakeback and part is from cash prizes from the steps. I haven't bothered entering a rakeback slot into the spread sheet, because I can just easily post a screeny of cashier after, to show what I got.
Seriously, I get nothing but b******t hands like 83, and 92 and then FINALLY I get a playable hand and this happens:
Full Tilt Poker Game #32146321241: Step 2 (Super Turbo) (249525372), Table 1 - 30/60 - No Limit Hold'em - 17:41:59 ET - 2013/02/18 Seat 2: rettel1 (225) Seat 3: MarK_MoneyTaker (405) Seat 4: deadish (915) Seat 5: craygana (340) Seat 6: tryyy (180) Seat 7: I_AM_GANGSTA (475) Seat 8: Retribution1979 (160) MarK_MoneyTaker posts the small blind of 30 deadish posts the big blind of 60 The button is in seat #2 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Retribution1979 [Qh Qs] craygana folds tryyy folds I_AM_GANGSTA raises to 475, and is all in Retribution1979 calls 160, and is all in rettel1 folds MarK_MoneyTaker folds deadish calls 415 I_AM_GANGSTA shows [Kd Ks] Retribution1979 shows [Qh Qs] deadish shows [Ac As] *** FLOP *** [8h 7h 2c] (Total Pot: 1,140, 3 Players, 2 All-In) *** TURN *** [8h 7h 2c] (Total Pot: 1,140, 3 Players, 2 All-In) *** RIVER *** [8h 7h 2c 7c] (Total Pot: 1,140, 3 Players, 2 All-In) I_AM_GANGSTA shows two pair, Kings and Sevens deadish shows two pair, Aces and Sevens deadish wins the side pot (630) with two pair, Aces and Sevens Retribution1979 shows two pair, Queens and Sevens deadish wins the main pot (510) with two pair, Aces and Sevens *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 1,140 Main pot 510.

Like, this is the B******T I'm talking about. What are the fucking odds? This just isn't fucking going well. And the fucking a*****e with AA slow-rolled to boot, which just makes losing even worse. Like, why time-down if you have aces, you KNOW you're calling. Assholes like that deserve to get aids and die.
------------ Sigh, end of session: Down 4 step 2's and a step 1, up 1 step 3 and at 8 something now. More of the same b******t, play good, get sucked out on repeatedly. Sick of seeing morons call me down with q4o and win.

Got 2 games in yesterday before I had to go out. Won 1 step 3, and finished the other with a step 2.
Playing as we speak. First game, first hand 88 UTG. Shove, get called by q10o, 10 on the turn. Who the f**k calls an UTG shove with q10o? Going to be a short session of that s**t keeps happening.

Posted by rbdflyboy: Railing u now on the one table...they're filling slow. That's a step 1 for tbl 61355 and a step 3...gg
Got u on 62944...dam the wrong Q....lol
Yeah, I'm running pretty bad. Ran 1010 into kj lost 1st hand, ran AK into KK on the bubble, lost. Such sick beats, but I have managed to win 3 more step 3's today. As it stands, I'm REALLLY hoping to finish off the step 2's today if possible. Sitting on 9 more step 2's, and almost enough cash for 3 more step 1's, and close to enough points for 1 more step 1's.
So question time, since this is taking so long, and I've already got $10 banked, should I use that $10 for 3 more step 1's, or just keep it and put it into the pool at the end?
I'll be honest, unless I hit a good run, we could end up with like 5 MAYBE 10 step 3's, which very likely means this could end up in a loss I apologize if that happens, I'm absolutely shocked at the horrid run I've had, and I'll post graphs/ev graphs after. Pretty sure I'm running well below expectation.
*Edit* worst case scenario, I've also got a BLT ticket which runs on march 24th, so if this doesn't end in profit, I'll donate whatever, if anything, I win during that tourney towards making up the loss.

After the step 1 game the traffic died off. Saw all of the games except for the first two. Overall thought this session went well... You don't think with a good Matrix run everything will balance out? You did manage to balance two of the step 2 losses by winning two step 2's back. There's 9 left so let's hope for the best.

Well, the way matrix prize pools work, is it's basically $25 per 1st, with 5 total pools. So yes IN THEORY it's possible it could end up in the black, but as they are super turbos, I expect that won't be the case given variance, plus at that level players play a lot better. Will have to wait and see what happens.
