Man I took a horrible horrible beat yesterday. I will say I am not good at all in big tournies. I have never placed in one except for a $1 buy-in a couple years ago messing around. Anyway I was in a $10, 200ish person sit-n-go with a really nice stack and about 40 people left, just on the bubble (I think like 30 people made the money). This idiot who had been raising like a madman but somehow catching hand after hand doubled my big blind (from $100 to $200), and I called with 33. Anyway flop comes 367 rainbow, I check it, he pushes all in for like $5500, and I of course call. He shows KJ of clubs, and of course the turn and river are club club giving him a king high flush, and all but knocking me out of the tournament. I was seriously going to go way into that tourney, but man that hurt. I have of course taken worse beats, but never in such an "important" position. Man was I pissed.

1/20/2008 11:43:27 PM

^^I love people who call hands like 95s "suited connecters" Sure, they are connecters, but you never make the nuts with.

1/21/2008 4:16:25 PM

how do you guys feel about the turbo sngs? i'm trying them out, and am not quite sure how i feel about them. I tend to make a lot of my big moves late in sngs so i thought turbos might work well for me, but idk feels like too much of a crapshoot.

1/21/2008 4:19:37 PM

Quote :

"crapshoot"

pretty much unless you get decent hands the first 2-3 blind levels

1/21/2008 4:22:16 PM

i mean but there are people with very respectable rois that play the turbos, so i mean there must be a way to beat them consistently, seems worth it since you can double your volume with them.

1/21/2008 4:25:40 PM

if you play turbos, you have to play 2-3x the amount of sng's you usually play i would say to be just as profitable

1/21/2008 4:40:39 PM

if you play turbos exclusively, you have to play 2-3x the amount of sng's you usually play i would say to be just as profitable

1/21/2008 4:40:39 PM

turbo's are no bueno

1/21/2008 4:45:21 PM

^^hmmm, i'm really not too sure about that, i think it might depend upon the player.

1/21/2008 5:48:53 PM

there's one thing for certain

if you rock a 50 buy roll for sngs,

i'd at least triple that for turbos.

1/21/2008 5:52:07 PM

I think that the lower buy-in turbo single table SNGs, say > $15 are extremely soft (esp 6 max) in comparison to the non turbos. I have found that in terms of my ROI, I have a slightly lower ROI with the turbos, but far more profit hourly due to the amount I can play.

But.....holy hell is it a roller coaster ride w/ all the swings.

1/21/2008 6:05:59 PM

exactly my point when saying

"if you play turbos, you have to play 2-3x the amount of sng's you usually play i would say to be just as profitable"

1/21/2008 10:04:37 PM

Not really, what i'm saying is that the decrease in my ROI is not substantial enough to warrant me not playing turbos. In playing the turbos, i'm 1) getting more volume, and 2) making more money in the same amount of time (because the decline in ROI is less substantial than the volume I am gaining). So in a nutshell, i'm more profitable.

Man, I am such an emotional gambler = not good.

I took another atrocious beat, so instead of quitting I bet everything in my account on the LA Lakers vs Denver Nuggets at -3.5 LA. I ended up making $325, but geez, I have very little control when I am pissed.

On the bright side, I now have $675 in my account that started as like 85 cents.

1/22/2008 1:35:23 AM

^lol, i've done that, but it has ended up bad for me, dropping 1300 in 3 sports bets, and losing my whole roll back in the pp days of $100 hands of blackjack.

would you say you are FeebleMinded?

1/22/2008 2:11:20 AM

When I am angry I make really bad gambling decisions. Well thus far they have turned out well but when my typical bets are $10-$30 and I throw $350 on a game.... yes that is a bad move, regardless of the outcome.

1/22/2008 2:24:23 AM

buuuuuuut it's fun

1/22/2008 7:28:49 AM

I've been playing the turbo HU sngs lately. They probably aren't worth it for the money, but I'm loving them, went on a streak of like 8 in a row yesterday.

1/22/2008 7:45:15 AM

I just got beat on 3 different 3 outers at 3 different sngs to either cash or win... woo great start to the day.

Make that 4. Jesus.

has anyone done the direct deposit bank transfer on tilt? I've been getting checks until now and they usually take a week and a half. Would direct deposit be any quicker?

Yes it would be quicker. I haven't done it with FT but used to do it with party and neteller.

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - A fire broke out on the top floors of a 3,000-room Las Vegas hotel and Casino on Friday, forcing the evacuation of guests and staff and quickly engulfing parts of the building's facade and roof.

There were no immediate reports of injuries in the blaze, which broke out at about 11 a.m. local time (2 p.m. EST) at the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino on the Vegas strip.

1/25/2008 3:40:00 PM

ok, so um, how the fuck do i get my money out of full tilt? i've got an epassporte account, but i just used my credit card to deposit directly to FT. do i have to deposit using eP in order to withdraw with that method?

1/26/2008 10:51:33 PM

you have to keep playing until it's all gone

1/26/2008 11:55:15 PM

i tried that method and i'm still waiting on the check, what gives?????


seriously though, do i really have to send in all that shit for them to verify so i can just get a check?

1/26/2008 11:57:55 PM

if you didn't deposit with epassporte then you are gonna have to verify your shit with them before they give you money....y not just request a check from ft, by the time you verify your shit with epass you'd prob have you check from ft anyway.



[Edited on January 27, 2008 at 12:16 AM. Reason : clarity]

1/27/2008 12:14:59 AM

because it says i have to send them proof of ID and a copy of a utility bill to just get a regular check too. when i try to withdraw my only option is to "learn more" about either epass or paper check

1/27/2008 12:32:56 PM

That's how I got my money out from FT

I just made a copy of like a cable bill, my driver's license, and put a sticky note on there that had my FT name

got a check about 2 weeks later

1/27/2008 1:24:55 PM

did you put the amount on there you wanted to withdraw, or did they enable it for you in the cashier box

1/27/2008 1:31:53 PM

the only reason you have to send them anything scanned is to prove your identity

no dollar amounts need to be on that scanned sheet

I just sent an email, asking to withdraw $x amount from my account, and then attached the .pdf that had a bill, my id, and my FT id on it

I'm sure if they have any questions or problems with it, they'll let you know

At least he had a pair haha, seems like a lot of time in those situations he will show AK.

1/28/2008 1:33:04 PM

but i mean, at least that's a more marginal holding, and he's trying to bluff, or protect a very weak hand, i mean with his hand there he has decent showdown value, i mean he's winning the least and losing the most from his line imo. unless i was a donk and called him with like 8s or something, which i prob wouldn't.

shows very little understanding of poker imo.
