Currently grinding it up at 25nl on FTP and Stars. For some reason, I am beating Stars at a considerably higher rate (28bb/100 over 1375 hands) than I am FTP (0.51bb/100 over 1655 hands lol). So, through about 3000 total hands in the past week I am up 8 buy-ins total, a pretty good start I think. I may be running a touch on the nitty side (about 20/15) but that's probably a product of not being completely comfortable with postflop play and hand reading at this point. Hopefully with more work I will only have better results. I did take down a couple large pots this evening, interstingly enough on FTP. Thoughts on the play are appreciated, but for now I'm just happy I shipped the monies .
