I decided to go to crypto. No big suprise there. I spent some time researching several sites, after two suggestions, Pokerplex and Sun. They are both great. I decided to start with Sun only because of the extra$100 for FTR members. It'll help since I'm a little short for $25NL and cryptologic hasn't got any stakes lower to play on. I will split my time between these two sites and I think for the next while these will be home. Anything else will just be for whoring.

Some observations about this network. You can modify the table. I love being able to do this. I delete everything and play on a black background. Makes everything easier to find. The colours on the hud stand out. You see how many have entered the pot without problems. For an old man like me, with bad memory and distractions, It's easier to multitable without all the clutter. I can't tell you how many times I've C-bet into someone 3 way that I didn't see holding cards when I thought I had isolated someone else. The lowest limit is $25NL like I said so all the worst players on the site are on these tables. I would compare the play to any $5NL or $10NL table at Ultimate or Stars. It makes it really swingy playing 6 max. Here's my start.



Keep in mind, I had no notes on anybody. Some of these stackings are weak ass players going all in with villians Ax vs. my KK. Villians 8 6 vs. my AA that catches 2 pair on the river after all in post flop when the villian has TP. Now mind you, as you can see, I don't mind that at all. I get it back. It's just the up and downs are scary when you only have a limited roll.

Quick story, I may be wrong on a detail or two but this is the jist of the story. I was 6 tabling at the time so I miss some details once in a while. I get KK on or near the button. Raise to $1.25. Some super aggro with 3x buyins reraises to $5. I call. Flop Axx, He leads out with about $9 and I call. I figure he's either bluffing badly or I'm way behind. But he reraised post flop a few times before this and I folded out so it's as good a hand as any to take a stand against this guy who's obviously bullying the table. If for anything else, I can get my money back later since he's not leaving with anyones money and he will think twice about reraising if he thinks I will call him on it. Anyway he checks the turn when Q falls, I bet $10 trying to get it all in. He pushes. I call. He's holding 8T off. WTF! $50 slides back to me and he goes ape.

Why you calling those bets with KK?
There is an A on board and you called???
You suck.
Do you even know how to play?
I knew what you had and I represented an A.
How can you call that?

I love guys that think, you suck cause you should have folded to my obviously paired Ace. Or not.

Well I have $3 over my $200 deposit, I have $350 in playable bonus and money, and am also currently working of the FTR $100 extra bonus, that requires 1500 MPP's. The first deposit bonus and the FTR 100 are clearing at the same time. I also have already earned $11 in rakeback. ,WEEE. Heading to poker plex right after these clear and then back again. If I can break even at Sun I will have $450 plus rakeback. Sounds doable. thanks again Biondino and Anosmic for the site suggestions and PM's. Already have 144 MPP's after 2 days and 1200 hands. A much easier bonus to clear than Riverbelles.

Just noticed, Page 2, woohoo.

Maybe review time. ??
