threeornothing Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 3rd last night at Nash....should have been 1st but stacked off with a cooler 3 handed...its a decent game but yeah take a few bullets...not much folk there though, think 17 and a 840 pot...standard 50/30/20 payout...fmlTrick of the trade, if you had 1500 chips at the end of the rebuy period you can buy a 3000 chip rebuy, and a 6000 chip add on for 20 combined...so you could turn up near the end and only have to spend 30 for a 10.5k stack....i was in for 50 but did the 1500 chip trick at the end...

Skacel Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Just away to play in Full Tilts $1 WSOP qualifier, 5 seats to the main event up for grabs. over 40,000 entrants wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Qualified for the Sunday $750k on Full Tilt, but I'm a bit skint and tired so will probably just withdraw and take the $216 into my roll. Rarely play donkaments these days, mainly because they start at very UK-unfriendly times.Had a brilliant week at the tables, but playing with a very light roll just now due to withdrawing most of it rather than getting a job. It's a slow grind back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christy Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Yeah, poker supports me through uni. Aint had a job in many a moon. I play, in the main, a lot (4-12 at one) of $22 and $33 SnGs on Full Tilt. Obviously I mix it up with cash and MTTs depending on how I feel, but they're my standard game. Rakeback is a Godsend.GL in the tourneys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Rakeback is a Godsend.I've been out of poker for 2 or 3 years now. What is rakeback? (obviously from the name it implies some sort of repay on the rake but how does it work?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Very simply, it gives you back some of your rake. If you have 27% rakeback and play a $10plus $1 entryfee/rake SnG, then for every one of these you get $0.27 back into your account. A lot of long-term losing and breakeven players make a very nice living by playing insane volume and generating a shitload of rake (and therefore, rakeback).I'm a long-term winning player but don't put in the same volume as some of these low-stakes, multitabling cash grinders. I do still make a fair bit in rakeback, which is a Godsend in losing weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 What determines the rakeback percentage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Different sites and affiliates offer differing rates, but they're largely similar. I use RakeBackNation.com, but they're all much of a muchness. 27% @ Full Tilt is as good as you'll find, but I used to get 80% for working as a Prop (guy who gets games started) @ Betfair. although the RB deal was insanegood, there just wasn't enough traffic on the site so I ended up gravitating back to Full Tilt. Also didn't like the Betfair software.For any semi-serious player, RB is mandatory imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I had a huge chip lead well ITM on tonights 250k on stars...one idiot bluffs me at the wrong time with 54o on A85 board, I made the soul read call with pocket nines....he hits a four on the river $25k up top for 1st...I'm out with next to FA..I run BAD on stars.

Christy Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Yup, but you must create your poker account through the affiliate (such as RakeBackNation.com, register there before you start your Full Tilt/whatever site account). Stars don't offer Rakeback unless you're SupernovaElite, which is fuckin hard to achieve.You can't retrospectively apply RB to an existing account, so if you already have a Full Tilt account you're screwed because multi-accounting is banned. Sometimes they do retrospectively apply it but it takes a heap of emailing FT's support, which is shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hey, I noticed you are multitabling 6mx SNG's....how many BI's do you think is sufficient for this (sick swong last night btw!) and are you using any tools for multitabling? (like AHK?) Are you a stacker or tiler? You said you were playing like 12 tables at once, but i've always found with 6mx any more than 6 and I'm not playing enough hands or finding the spots (espesh at lower limits where theres a never ending pool of new players each game...end up playing blind) whats the secret to crushing 6mx? 6mx cash is my format of choice and i do like 6mx SNGs, I deal bad with variance though, 6 straight losses and i go flipping my roll heads up....fml...

That roll should be sufficient for 6tabling $22 6max SnGs, because they are unbelievably volatile. I remember the first time I had two consecutive -$1k weeks, I was devastated. At the time, I was 10tabling $33s and playing off a $5k roll. It hurt a lot. Nowadays, as I'm in my 4th year at uni and having to play off a lighter roll, I mostly play the $22s for less variance.I use Pokertracker3 and FTTableninja script, both of which are absolutely mandatory if you want to be successful in the midstakes SnGs. I play the same faces for hours every day. It's such a cliche, but the secret is to be TAG. Throw away most aces and kings OOP; 3bet the best ones. Play more LAG in position and let the button do the work for you. Bet sizing is absolutely vital; apply pressure in marginal spots when PT3 tells you your opponent is capable of laying a hand down on turn or river.Finally; don't tilt. Easier said than done, but I would wager that I've been on the right and wrong side of every bad beat known to man, and one day it simply stopped affecting me. Become indifferent to results, and just recognise when you get your money in in plusEV spots.Don't know how to poast piccies from my harddrive here, or I'd show you my graph Feb-Oct last year.

Skacel Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Nice one Christy, how much did you start with to build your roll up to $3000?If you guys haven't already seen the highlights from the Sunday Million last week they are well worth a watch. Micro stake player takes it down with some questionable play and a lot of luck.There is hope for us all. Sunday Million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
