Getting FPPs at microstakes is a total pain in the ass. It's bullshit. I played for a few hours today (first proper session in a long time). How many FPPs did I have? 226. How many did I have after 2k hands? 226. What the fuck is going on? I was under the impression that when you participate in a pot that is a certain size, you qualify to get FPPs. Fuck PS they can lick my nuts. I'm not even half way to unlocking my first deposit bonus after playing some 30k hands. Can anyone say WTF with me?

Anyway, like I said this was my first proper session (i.e. playing many hands and me actually winning) in a long time (couple of weeks or more possibly). In those last few weeks I was running like total dog shit and could not win for the life of me. I lost some ~10 buy ins at NL5. You all may think that is a joke because its like 50 bucks, but to me it means a lot. It's a significant fucking part of my BR. So now I'm back down to NL2. I digress. Like I was saying, today was the first fucking day that I've started winning again. After maybe 3 hours I was up ~5 buyins (at NL2. lol?). Like I said, before this I was running like shit so I was pretty happy about this. But then some shit happened, like this:

and this:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/469100
and this:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/469085
and so on and so forth.

Admittedly, I played the first two like total shit. I guess I was starting to donk a bit after playing for so long and getting a bit bored/tired/don't give a fuck. So I lost a few of those won buy-ins in a space of maybe ten minutes (yay). That's the story of how I run. I grind grind grind building slowly but surely, and then it's all taken away before I can blink. Waste of fucking time? Maybe? Get my game more under control? Yes, I should definitely. Know when to quit? I usually do, but not today. So I ended with +1.5 buyins. Which is good considering I'm actually + for once. But it's also ultra gay because I could have had +5. Seems my journey to NL10 is going to take much longer than I anticipated.

Wow this blog got pretty long. And there is a lot of anger in it. How many times did I say fuck? Fuck it.

whining about low fpp income when you're playing the lowest stakes possible is pretty stupid.

I wasn't whining about low FPP income. Maybe if you had the slightest bit of intellect you would realize that I was whining about not getting ONE SINGLE FPP after 2k hands. Dumbass.

You receive 1 FPP for every pot that has a rake of $.40 or greater. That doesnt happen to often at NL2.
