ZEN: Yes we should...

everyone: ta-daaaam... I decided to move down to NL50 and play there for as long as it takes until i get some of the control back... that being said, I got spanked on NL50 as well.. whenever i have a PP+FD my opponent has AKo with the nut FD and they hit.. they even hit when they have a pair+NFD which is fine... only thing that's not fine is that I am not hitting them as well.. I also get 2,3,4,5,6 outed more then my fair share lately...

Any you know what the worst part is? I am not cold decked.. I actually get pretty goot hands over and over again but it's either my set doesnt get paid because someone else had a lower PP and didn't hit or they didnt hit their TP at all... and it just goes on and on for now.. So, back to NL50 and try and reestablish my sanity there...

graph of this month...


pacific: $3950

cry

still can't get anything going for myself.. this is a hand that made me just turn off all the tables and almost cry.. this is against a regular whom I consider the best NL100 player at the site.. really.. still, it hurts, especially when he has been known to call me down lightly and 3bet me frequently as I have him..

and you know what? I am actually "running hot" .. flopping sets like crazy.. just the opposition never has ANYTHING then so I can give them free cards, bet into them or whatever, nah, don't get s*it for it...

Lost 3 times with aces today, and lost 3 times with kings today.. I also lost 2ce with jacks.. And in last 5-7 days, I am down 1k which puts me around +$150 for the month..

pacific: $4k

Down 1K and still up $150 for the month, not too bad red...you'll be back up in no time, gotta love the variance, eh are you playing on pacific with any bonus/rb?

Tommy: I am not that comfortable with posting on 2p2 too much so I'll just leave it here for BTP to see if ever they look..

A---HA! Could this really mark the beginning of something truly beautiful? Could it? (btw. still $20 down for the day)

In other news..
Apparently my rakeback for last month wasn't $528 like I was pretty sure it will be. It was $377.
As my aff tells me, the reason is that Pacific's MGR or whatever is lower then what PT records for rake and MGR. I don't really buy this but I also have nothing to counter it with because it's my word against his (and my PT screenshots) and I have no way of proving me right and him a liar since I can't get teh exact numbers from my Pacfiic MGR other then from PT. Basically, it turns out it's not 25% if you compare it with PT rake/MGR stats but more something like 18%. This sucks.

I withdrew $1000 from pacific today and will get it in 3 days on my MB account. I was thinking of maybe going to Party and check it out there again since I really really love their software and I keep hearing it's soft again. Gonna start data mining 50's and 100's today.

Also, I would be interested in nice rakeback deals.. Cake or something.. ideas?
p.s. BetFred is not an option..

pacific. $3k
