Thanks for explaining W$WSF in Xastons journal. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Since I consider you to be THE MAN when it comes to Poker Tracker, PT stats, PAHUD and GT+, I wonder if it would be in order to barge in with a question or two from time to time?

In the light of the above request, I would appreciate if you could/would take a look at the PAHUD layout that I made for Pacific poker and tell me if you have any suggestions/remarks on it. It is here:

Also, to go back to W$WSF and your explanation of the stat in light of Xastons results. From the moment I read it I started applying more pressure on villains and have also started using BTN and CO (position) to my advantage. I mean, my VPIP from BTN has gone up to 50% in last 2 days and since I don't limp any more this alone is making my opponents going crazy. They started slowplaying against me OOP and giving me free cards when they really shouldn't do it. Just because i am applying more pressure on flop, turn and even river.

For the last 2 days my W$WSF at NL100 is 52% and at NL50 44%. I am pretty satisfied with that because my other stats don't suffer because of it, and once again, your post in Xas journal was really an eye opener, however simple or self implicit it might seem. Thanks.

OK - September is more or less over and I've managed (even with the holiday) a $2k and 4+PTBB/100 month over 10k hands at (mostly) $1/2.

Factoring in bonus/RB I've been running at $73/hr or so, which considering the low variance/bankroll requirments of shortacking is pretty good going I think.

So should I move up or run another month at $1/2?

Whats your bankroll? I might be willing to stake you to play 5/10 if you dont have enough.

Trust me, youre wasting your time at those stakes. Well, it wasnt a waste. You used the time to tweak your strategy which is basically what I did. My first month at 5/10 (the staked month) started very good but ended with disappointment. Since then, Ive made some slight changes and really worked on table selection. I made more in Sept than Ive ever made in a single month and I played about 1/2 the hours that I used to play when I hit my previous best month.

PM me if youre interested.

Thanks Ice - that's very generous but I think I'll try $2/4 first..I have just under $8k in the roll at the mo , have made c. $4500 shortstacking over the past 3 months and the worst downswing I've had is 3.5 full buy-ins.

I figure I can take a shot at $2/4 easily and if I drop more than say $1500 I can just go back to $1/2 and all my nice notes on villains...

Do any of you use programs like Spade Eye that will help you identify the best tables?
Moving sizable amounts of money into ePassporte has been a real pain. Any better ways? I'm a US player.

Spade eye is a good program in general, but for my purposes, Im looking mostly for tables with no more than 2 regulars. Not that I cant beat the regulars, but they dont hand their money over to me like the guy who just called my raise with 84 and then called me on a Q82 board and called my all in on the A turn. The non regs are just terrible. I had 22.

I believe T-Rod was able to deposit using his debit card at Full Tilt recently. Some credit cards still work also.

I am blind. No one reads my posts.
