Good Suggestion
Posted by MaxPen on April 20, 2006
Well, I have been playing most of my poker at Full Tilt lately. I must say, I really like the site. I had never played there before until I joined up with PokerFox. Nice software and some pretty good games. The limit traffic is a little low, but you can always find games. The NL side of things offers plenty of games and the traffic is great. I also like that I get 27% rakeback, paid directly into my account and that I can data mine tables. All good things.
The other day I was shooting the shit with Titans, and he suggest giving the Party NL tables a shot. So last night I sat down to record a session on Party playing $100 NL 6 max. Let me just say, what a wonderful idea. First hand I hit the nut flush on the turn, but didn't get much action. Then in the SB I pick up AA and UTG raises 3x and two call. I raise to $12 and UTG calls. I bet out $15 and he raises to $30 and I just call. We both check the turn and 6c falls on the river, putting 3 clubs on the board. I bet out about $40 and he pushes, and it costs me another $30 or so to call and I do. That 6 made his set, so it was a very good card for me.
Few hands later I pick up TT and the flop comes T high, I bet and some guy pushes with AKo and I call, taking down another good size pot. So about 12 hands played, and I'm up about $190. I cut the session short at about 30 minutes because I was recording it and finished up about $185, not bad for a half hours work.
I need to start playing Party more. I have always liked the site with great table selection and an abundance of fish. So I will probably be splitting my time between Full Tilt and Party for now on. Full Tilt for rakeback and maybe if I play enough on Party, I can get into their VIP program which is kind of like rakeback in a way.
