Went on a little downswing in the beginning of the month and dropped back down to $50 NLHE FR Rush Poker. I got my confidence back and jumped back up to $100 NLHE FR Rush Poker. Feels good to be winning again but I know I can get better results.
I got so many leaks, it's ridiculous. I'm really happy that I can spot my leaks because that allows me to be a better player.
I'm a Black Card Member but it seems like it's not too much of a boost. I earned it by averaging 500 FTP points in the past 100 days. FTP released a new update on 9/30/10. They basically got rid of Iron Man Plus and changed their rakeback system from dealt to weighted contributed. So instead everyone getting an even share of the rake, they will now split it up evenly to the players who contributed. For Example, if sb and bb got it all in preflop for $100 each. FTP would rake $3. SB and BB would get $1.5 worth of mgr. I'm no math wizard but it looks like it might be hurting us in the short term. I'm just going to wait for HEM to release the new rake update for FTP so I can see how it affects me.
My Goals this month is to just keep playing my A game. I'm still trying to stick to my 1 hour session game plan. I went over a little when i was tilted and down a couple of buy ins. It's still very hard for me to quit when I"m stuck. I need to stick to this plan unless I'm playing ridiculously well or the tables are awesome. It's just a way to stay discipline and not tilt off 10 bi in one session because I've done it in the past.

It hurts big time. Looks like I got about half the RB I normally get. I can't believe FTP would make this change. They are already making multimillions from players inr ake, now they want to get stingier with RB?? It disgusts me how greedy they truly are.
Brian,
I got about 33% less rakeback. With the old system, I'm suppose to be at 1300 mgr but with the new system I'm at 868 mgr.
I basically lost around 432 (.27) = $116 in real cash because of the new weighted contributed rake back system.
If this stays the same, I'm moving in January 2011 to Poker Stars after i clear my FTP end of year bonus.
If I keep grinding $100 nlhe FR mass tabling. I could get between 200k to 500k vpp.
Hi,
I developed a tilt control, auto stop loss, and bankroll management software called Tilt Breaker, which essentially takes care of discipline for you. I would love to have you test out the software and write a review about it. I will give you a free code for your effort, once it is published!
Give me a shout at customerservice@tiltbreaker.com
