hehe that would be a good idea, you guys to sweat each other as well, I think it will be very beneficial to both of your games, sweating other regs at your limit to see how they play. I used to do it twice a week, sweating with players at the same limits, really improved my game.

Yeah Harv id love to get something along those lines going with ppl on here! Win win imo!

So as far as my poker is going............i am almost ashamed to say that I have switched to the dark side this week! STARS!!!! Please dont spit on me haha! Was just increasingly frustrated on ipoker with the software and discon etc! And also its just full of rb grinders! Each to their own but i just really cant get away with that! Plus I work full time so this is just a hobby to me! I dont have time to play 20k hands a week and collect the bonuses! Would much rather enjoy my poker and actually be able to play when i want and not face discon no traffic etc!

I got a reload bonus off stars which clears at 25% plus the vip etc so thought id give it a whirl! Dont want to jinx myself but its the best thing ive ever done! The software is different league and makes playing so much fun! Have also got to to silver star in 3 days and shud cruise to gold in December! In addition the games are insane! Trafgic is obviously stupid but also th e games are nowhere near as tough as public perception seems to indicate! I have played well and ran well but over a tiny sample of 2.5k hands ive won 47bb100 lol! Obviously this wont continue but no matter how good you run that shows the games arent super tough!

I still have my roll on ipoker and still gonna play there but majority of my play i think is defo going to be on stars! I feel dirty haha!

Sounds like you're off too a winner. Don't cash out unless you want the curse to hit you! lol.

I am not a fan of iPoker layout but I use the PokerVIP table mod which is the nuts. What do you play zoom or the regular tables? Better yet, has the run good kept with you or not?

As you collect VPPs, I think the best way to use them is to play the 235fpp satts where you win a $11 ticket.

PS: Send me your address so I can come over and spit on you Cool

Hey Jef really interesting that you've moved over to Stars and are seeing a difference in games… since moving over to Paddy Power from Stars I've been totally struggling.. everyone seems to be a grinder, it's a really tough game over there… I was winning at stars 15/BB over 20k hands and since moving to ipoker am losing over 16k hands so far… I've been sticking to my goal of 20k hands at ipoker to see where i am at but all the time thinking i should just be back at stars… I'm not enjoying the struggle at ipoker and like you play mostly for the enjoyment of the game and to win a bit of cash on the side of my full time job… not happening at ipoker!

Personally I can't wait to move back!

LOL so true! Good that you can brush off the beats like that. I'm the same these days, when I look back to a year ago, I used to get so disheartened when I was on a losing streak, now its not an issue, its just poker! Cheeky

What is the general traffic at 25nl Zoom at say the peak of the day?

Like I said I just thought I'd giv it a shot but it's just so much fun! I evenly love the huge tournaments! I say just do what suits you best! I still think there are plenty fish at Ipoker but there are a load of boring nitty rb whores!
