CR had a big team builder in Florida and I spend some time in Florida. It was see all the CR guys again and also nice to meet the stoxpoker ones. I had only met Nick before, he coached me in limit holdem about two years ago, but no one else. I would really recomend anyone looking for limit caoching to contact Nick. It was great getting to know the rest of the guys as well. I was suprised how much I liked them. They were all really stand up guys.

I made quite a few videos in the time I was in Florida. I got seven videos done in total. This is great as I was only there for a few days. Four of the videos were HU videos with the Bryce and myself. He sweated me while we reviewed a limit session I played and I did the same for his NLH session. He has a great way of looking at poker. He is very calculated and just discussing concepts I feel has really helped my game even though we are experts at very diferent games.

I also did videos with Issac Baran and Dave Benefield. I think both of those turned out well. WIth Issac we reviewed a 10/20 NLH session that he played which had a ton of action. Issac had a very aggressive player on his left which made for a great video. Its tough dealing with an aggressive player who is habitually three betting you.

Here are some pictures from the house in Florida.

Question for whoever?

First off Im sorry for posting this hear but I want to make sure I can find some help. Had poblems posting else where. So here it is...

This is my 1st post ever so I hope its seen . Now that Ive decided to focus on multi tabling small stakes cash games instead of tournies I decided to look into rake back and was surpised I cant have it because I dont have an affiliate.. Does anyone else have this same problem must be 1000s of us. What am I missing? I cut and paste my two different email responses from full tilt and rakerebate below. The 1st being from Full tilt.
Is this fair to the poker players? Like I said what am I missing ?? Any responses from any of you I would appreciate.
Mike or Rookie

Hello Michael,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker.

Full Tilt does not pay players rakeback directly. There are a number of rakeback affiliates who offer players up to 27% rakeback if they sign up to Full Tilt Poker through their site.

Please note that this is not an issue which can be solved by opening another account with Full Tilt Poker, it is against our site policy to open more than one account. Though you could cease using your account, we do not remove it from our system, nor do we freeze accounts in order for players to create new ones.

However, we do value your continued support of Full Tilt Poker, and we are currently looking into organizing something that will help players who are not already attached to an affiliate. We have added your username to our files for further consideration. Please be patient.

If there's anything else we can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best of luck on the tables!

Kind Regards,

Francis
Full Tilt Poker Support

Hi Mike,

Apologies for a late reply.

Unfortunately the rakeback program is only open to new players of Full Tilt.
Full Tilt will not switch existing players to rakeback, nor let them create
a new account to get it.

We are very sorry for this inconvenience, but Full Tilt is very hard with
enforcing these rules. Feel free to browse our other great offers to see if
you can find an equally good, or better alternative.

Best Regards,
Andreas

FWIW im pretty sure you can email them and ask to get rakeback. it wont happen overnight but theyll put you on a list, ive heard that people wait for weeks or months sometime but you might as well put your name on the list sooner then later.

Yeah you can get rakeback at a later date according to that second e-mail as long as you don't have an affiliate that would give you rakeback through them. This e-mail can take quite a while though, took me like 2 months to get mine. Sucks in the meantime.

Rakeback

Agree with the above - I moaned at FTP for not letting me have rakeback, got the same email then about a couple of weeks later was "specially invited" to join rakeback pros.

PS: Brian - it's also Isaac not Issac, that guy must get pissed you spell his name soooooo badly!!! Engineering majors can't spell for shit - lol
