Alex... no, Betfair is by itself, or rather, it's Betfair and Poker Champs together that form the Betfair network. The games there are rated as very soft and I might agree but I have already noticed quite a few regs there and some of them are not bad or soft at all... Still, I think it's a good choice to play there, but the only thing that's irritating is that the skin is blue and the buttons are in different shade of blue so you might not see your action when MT... also, as the tables get smaller so do the cards and it's even harder to see your action. Other then that it's nice... i guess the action things passes by after a week or so when you're used to where to look and focus..

HOWEVER, I am really really sick with the <20% hands getting the best of me for just over a month now... I've been 2 outed gazzilion times this month and it all reflects well on the graph up there... if Poker EV would work with Pacific, it would be a sight to see... Thank God that half of those 2 outaments were against half-stacks or so... still, pisses me off very very much... just today, I had a guy call his all in on Q highflop with 88, and he rivered an 8.. I of course held KK and 3bet him PF.. it's really sick how many times Ive been a fav and lost in the previous 30 days.. just incredible.... BAHHHHHHHH... It will go away I hope...

betfair. $910
pacific: don't remember, $3,6ish

FFS!!!!!!!
This shit won't stop and I am currently more afraid of being 80%+ favorite then anything else in poker.

Also, my setometer says I had 2 set over sets this month... hell yeah, but they were both when i was AI PF with KK and villains had 88 and we both flopped a set... big deal.. set over set my ass.

Not to sound like a complete dork, I started the month pretty satisfactory and am playing a bit more on Betfair then on Pacific these couple of days but am sure it will change pretty soon although i like Betfair and I have a nice RB there. i think I will be getting around $750 in rakeback at pacific for last month. Some of it will go to cover my due to djonjara (John) for live game and the rest of it might go into a new laptop since the old one is pretty much useless because it's RAM is not inserted but integrated on the MB so it can't be taken out, and the RAM is kaput so is the laptop...

So, as mentioned, November started pretty good and I hope it will continue this way. I have again changed my game a bit and it reflects on my PT stats, but I decided I don't care and will use whatever works for me not thinking about the stats almost at all. i will only not allow for my PFR to drop bellow 10% because that's pretty lame.. Since I stopped caring for the stats my aggression numbers and my winnings improved and as long as it's like that, I won't mind at all...

pacific: $4.000
betfair: $1.100

have a dobra birthday man , slisowitch ( or however you spell that ) all around !!!!!

Thank you Alex..

That being said...

I got slaughtered for 4 buy ins in 500 hands on Betfair today... Here are the main losing hands..

Finally my Pacific account stayed after the 5k mark after I stopped playing... I gotta post it just so that I know I was there if some ridiculous swing comes my way...


I have withdrawn money from Betfair, although I don't think it's a bad site to play... It' just that I'll wait for PAHUD support before I go back there since there is one tedious way to see the stats with GT+ I still prefer PAHUD.. Support will probably be there with or shortly after PT3 so I'll have to wait another month or so...

So, I've shipped the money to Xaston for his not very succesfull Foxwood tourneys and I still have some left on Moneybookers... I guess I will let it be there for now and decide what to do with ti later..

As for poker... Well, this month is much much better then the last month was and only on 15th I'll be getting $800 in RB for pacific. I am running 12ptbb/100 on pacific on NL100. I also started playing 1 or 2 tables of NL200 and am doing pretty good there also this month, 7ptbb/100. But it's a small sample since I am playing less this month then last month.. Only 4000 hands on pacific's NL100 and mere 1100 on pacific's NL200... On betfair I lost $300 in 5300 hands.. I wasn't running good there after the 3rd day and it's more or less all down to one day.. i was up $400 there and now I am down $300.. Still, as said, a good site and I'll probably be back there soon enough to complement pacific. Also, their bonus (that I don't care about but is huge and easy to clear) combined with 30% rakeback is a really good deal..

I am going to a friends birthday party tonight so won't play any more.. I hope it will be drunky fun..

pacific: $5000

lol @ drunk fish

RED!! Teach me to be like you!!! Nice screen shot. Really really glad for you. Feeling a little jealous, keep running good bro.
