I don't complain either, I have won over $400 + rakeback in the last 6 days, and soon I will clear the $225 mid year bonus.
And it was YOU who sat on my left on three tables. I'm now a $1/$2 reg again (for how long, we'll see), deal with it. ♠_cool:

Look, there's no need to point fingers here - especially when you're correct.. although I did LOL a little when I sat down on your right - you asked the TAGs to go.. I offered but I think you missed the offer as you disappeared... then you reappeared 2 mins later on my right!
I usually don't mind TAGs on my left TBH... better that than 42/24/3.3 dudes with a 20% 3B stat...
I'm now a $1/$2 reg again
YAY! Me too, at least until the next decent losing session...
Hand from last night's session:
It was my first hand at this table against totally unknowns, so I guess villains are typical 1/2 regs:

Finished in 652. place at the Big Little Tournament for $12. Almost would've gone really deep. Average stack was 12 bb, I got it all in preflop against a bigstack with KK for a 28 bb pot. He had AKo and rivered a flush.
Hey. It's my first post in this blog, i've been reading for a while though.
I'm glad you are running good, past days. It gives me hope that I some day will too, lot of improving needed till then probably 
I wish you a successful shot at 1/2.

Thanks for the criticism, always appreciated.
Yes and it was most likely lack of confidence to play on 5/T, but he definitely didn't play crazy like you..
You can't expect to beat 1/2 if you are only B/E at 0.5/1 lifetime.

Thanks a lot! You will.
Got my Mid Year Bonus, so the BR is higher than ever before, $1580. I also noticed I can't really profitably 6-table when I'm not in extremely enthusiastic grinding mood. I just forget all the preflop action and lose lots of money because of that. I'll switch back to 4 tables.
Sweet fella! I hate losing track of the action - often I'll check back to see whether I have built any donk EV for future hands. 
IMO playing 3-4 is enough and you'll prolly make more in making better decisions than you'll make from increased rb or reduced winrate * volume.
Especially when you 3bet a LAGtard with A6s and then check/fold QQ9 rainbow flop with initiative.... I'm strong but after this I hate myself and want to get out of the tables as soon as possible.
Later I 3-betted a passive fish with J9s cause I thought he limped in... It's definitely not my A-game anymore when I can't see whether the opponent limped or raised preflop.

HAHAHAHA sick, sick, sick - but funny 'cause it's true.

+ 1
+ the downswings get smaller when you are more observant and more aware of opponents actions
+ full tilt prolly has the fastest software out there and playing 4 tables is like playing 5 on Stars (though they have a great software too), and like 6+ on crappy-software sites aka Ipoker and such.
The tables are so awful at FT in the middle of the week, I really hate clicking on each table just to see (at least) 3 red-marked TAGs sitting in every one of them.
Wanna grind some 1/2 SH at Full Tilt?? Probably the hardest limit to beat 
oh man I can't wait till my BR is big enough to join these fish fields at higher stakes ♦
WTF I should be going to play $2/4 and $3/6 on FT, that's like $0.25/$0.50 on Party... Are those tables usually like that? 
I've never played higher stakes than 1/2, so I can't tell. I usually have them filtered off from the list. But 1/2 hasn't been this crappy since I climbed back here few days ago. Full Tilt should ban all German and Russian players imo (except jollylester, he is allowed to coach us).

There really were few exeptional days this week with a lot of soft 3/6 tables (more than 1/2 and 2/4), but usually it's not like that.. And these tables break up relatively fast, usually they include 2 huge fish which either don't last long or they hit&run, and then table breaks.
Although tables were really good these days, you cant compare it with .25/.5 just beacuse of Plr/flop rate, because level of agression and average skill is alot diferent (instead of TPAs and LPAs there are TAGs and LAGs which are a lot more difficult to play, and the plr/flop is the same)
Sure plr/flop doesn't say everything, but it's generally a good indicator that there is a profitable fish around... And with plr/flop rates as high as this, often even 2 like you said. It doesn't really matter whether the other people are PA or AG then...
Don't worry though, I won't be comming to FT any time soon anyway. 
I don't play much at FT FR and SH just for the reason there usually arent many good 2/4 and 3/6 tables :), when i play there i mostly bumhunt HU.
ABT AGGRo or passive opponents: lets say its 6 handed and there are two fish. In this case you play other opponents (lets say good for 3/6 and pretty bad for .25/.5 regs) more than half of the time so IMO all oponents at the table definitely matter.
I would rate profitability of table (SH) full of players sth like 25-30/5-10/0.5 (VPIP/PFR/AF) and the table with 2 huge fish and 3 good regs abt the same.
