There it is, my FTR/poker pro-themed PartyPoker table mod. Enjoy.

One significant advantage of playing with the mod is that I get to cackle with delight whenever I pimp-slap a poker pro who is playing like a complete LAggtard. And because I'm still in the final stages of playing 25 NL 6-max (moving up soon, thank god - just $100 of bankroll to go) I run into plenty of them.
Over the handful of hours I played on Saturday and Sunday, I somehow got pocket aces eight or nine times. And at least half of them won a big pot for me. The best one was this beatdown I put on Phil Ivey: everyone limped in. I raised to 2.00 from the big blind with AA. Everyone folded except one obstinate fish in middle position, so two of us saw the beautiful flop of AQx. With a $5-ish pot, I decided to try a weak lead of $2 and see if I could get a nibble. Sure enough, he thought about it and raised me to $4, which I hesitantly called. The turn was the best possible card, another queen. I checked and he bet $6, which I check-raised to $13. He called. On the irrelevant river card I bet his last $7, which he called. He showed down QJo and I won a very nice pot with my aces full.
Another great aces hand, different table: a short stack with just over $5 raised to $1, and an atrocious player behind him called. Then I re-raised from the blinds to $3. This amount was picked specifically because I was hoping the short stack would go all in and trap the caller for at least $4 more before I brought the thunder. It had to be enough to make the short stack push, but then low enough that the push allowed me to re-raise. Sure enough the short stack pushed, the bad player called both raises cold, and then I pushed over the top of that for $20 more. The bad player called that as well and got effectively sandwiched out of his whole stack. He showed down AQ, the short stack had KT, and my aces held. (This one was against Raymer and Ivey.)
Overall I think I'm going to miss $25 NL. The 50 level is pretty fishy too, as I recall, but the 25 fishes are the best fishes of all. They're just decent enough that it's not out-and-out gambling every hand, but bad enough that they seem to always pay off when I want them to. Lately I lead strong every time I flop a monster, because I know SOMEONE will call me - maybe even raise me. It's such a soft game.
