Another dissapointing standing in the BPT

I am considering dropping out of the BPT if I dont cash this sunday in the FTP event.

Last night I played and had a player to my left who came over the top of me and pushed for 4-6 consequetive hands. I knew this players range of hands was high. I actually was only in the pot in one of the first hands he pushed in, and everyone folded to him each time he pushed. I picked up JJ and he did it again. I thought about it and decided to call. He showed AQo, and caught an A on the turn.

I had him out chipped, but I was crippled. A couple hands later I picked up JTs and saw a flop for 3xbb. The flop came KQ6 giving me the OESFD. I decided to move for the pot in a 4 way hand. AND didnt improve!!!!!!! I was out.

I have taken some beating in my bankroll, and cashed out from the prima site that I moved my $ too. I just hate their software. it takes up too much space, and makes multitabling difficult. The interface is clunky in NL games, and the traffic is low. I withdrew $133, and have $33 across stars, FTP, and VIP. If I dont cash in the FTP event on sunday, I am going to withdraw from VIP and focus on building my bankroll. I will probably take some shots at stars though playing the 180 man tournaments. I think they are the perfect size, and they are beta testing $4.4 tournaments.

I played a $4.4 last night and the play was terrible, I was cleaning up. I ended up running out of gas at ~35th place. I dont recall specifically how I busted, but I was involved with a hand where I was out chipped.

Regarding VIP Poker, they suck! The BPT event didnt start until there was already 5 mins off the clock. Apparently it was the most people they ever had in a tournament. The structure wasnt bad, but I think the guys at bluff had the most control over that, because it was different than any other tournament on the site. I guess they also raised the blinds the hand before the break... how thoughtful. Definetly not missing out on anything by not playing there.

I am either going ot go back and play on absolute or UB. I can handle their software, and beat the micro NL games. I will be playing the dime/nickle NL games until I can boost the BR.

Did you trying messing with the table size on the Primas? I think they have 3 choices on there.

thanks titan, I never realized that was and option... I am not sure I will play or not. The bonus I signed up for isnt clearing very fast at all. maybe later I will go back I have 60 days to clear my bonus.
