Moved to FTP Rush 5nl-10nl

I know FTP changed their rake structure, and it kind of sucks for nits, but I decided to move off the reg-heavy 24 tabling bore fest that is PokerStars and decided to move my roll over to Ftp.  Not to mention, I suffered a stupid crazy monkey tilt downswing at pokerstars where I lost about 1/3 of my roll on there.

But, the great thing is, I don't really need as big of a roll at FTP to play since you can only open up 4 tables (at minimum only need 20 bucks).  Of course I have much more than that, but I am very comfortable playing with 10-15 buyins whereas on stars I needed to keep at least 60 buyins just to open up 24 tables of 5nl (12.50 per table).  I am also trying out 2 tabling rush 10nl and it's much easier to stay focused since I can skip the boring hands that I'm not playing in.  So far I have been fairly break even (I think I'm up like 10 bucks w/ rakeback), but I'm not really worried about that right now, just trying to get better.  The other side effect of moving to ftp is that I signed up under deuces cracked so I get the free video subscription when I get to $50MGR and free download subscription when I hit $500MGR.  Only takes a few hours to hit $50 and a couple weeks to hit $500MGR so this will be pretty nice to work on my game more.

I am losing a bit to the rake, but it's not my concern right now.  No more of this 24 tabling 5nl bore fest.  I am going to try to get better now.

I think for someone that is moving up, rush is actually a very great game to 1-2 table.  You do miss out on some reads, but so does everyone else so it is a very even playing field.  As I move up I will take more notes after sessions on the players I start accumulating history on.
