Looks like I can get rakeback on FTP, but I'm sticking to Stars for now, just because I've put in some money for the bonus(essentially around 27% rakeback). Going to play a mix of $5 and $10 SnGs now, with some 18-man 5$ mixed in for good measure.

strawberry float YEAH SNIFF JR. I really ran like crap towards the end after I managed to chip up. Final tables in those things seem like such a distant memory.

Sorry, I'm already slightly under-rolled for 25NL so I can't really spare $50 right now. I'm also planning on depositing at Stars to get the new years bonus so I don't really want any extra there just yet.
If you get really stuck then I'll help out but it's not too conveniant at the moment.

Hey Nova, you should try your hand at the 6-Max games on Stars. Granted I've only played four, but I've got two firsts and two seconds at the $13 level. Going from playing almost exclusively nine-handed... it's quite nice.

I've found the 6max MTTs are considerably softer than FR. It might be because you get to see and play more hands before the blinds get stupid.

HU > 6max > FR
Had quite a long coaching session with Jamie today. I really think this is going to work and we will both make millions.

Well I was playing another 6max MTT and got down to the final 12 again with a decent chip stack but got spewy and overagressive as we went more shorthanded.

Yeah that's what I was doing with my AK in that hand I posted. Got away with it though, on the FT bubble almost of a 180-man

Just started a MTT on Stars, made quad fives in the first hand and took someone all in to beat his boat made on the River

Sorry Sykes
I thought I played the FT pretty damn well, using some reads I had (or Sykes gave me on Grizzle), but my major mistake was my AK hand posted earlier, I think. Thankfully a donk next to me fed me chips for the next hour or so, which was nice. Really bizzare build up to FT, only really people limping, so I could call my SB to try and peel off a big flop against the donks, which I did at least once.
My best call was probably calling a guy who 3 bet me all in, with AJo. He had K4o. He'd been tight-ish, but his recent action suggested maybe he was tilting a bit from an earlier loss. I hit quads on the turn
