Change of Pace
My rakeback payment was deposited into my Full Tilt account the other day. I knew it was going to drop since I had dropped my limits but I didn’t realize the extent of the… ummmm… droppage?
A glorious $26.22 in rakeback was all I mustered last month. It would probably serve me better to work on my UltimateBet bonus than work toward the rakeback.
The SNG’s have continued to work well for me but I’m dumping all my profits into losing MTT’s, so I’m not making much progress. I’m also starting to grow weary of continuous SNG’s and I’ve been feeling that itch to play the cash games again.
With that in mind I decided to play at UB and clear some of my bonus playing NL. I wanted to control my bankroll and considering my previous cash game records I decided to play a single table of $25NL. After 569 hands I had lost $7.44. Actually not to bad considering I was down about $50 at one point. I’ve forgotten the frustration of grinding out the small pots only to make one mental error and lose it all. Fortunately I cleared $5.89 in bonus so it was close to a break even endeavor.
I think I’ll still play the cash game one or two days a week though so I can have some variety.
Oh, before I forget. Due to my oldest boy getting a myspace page I decided to get one as well. I’m going to use for personal blogging and the poker content will stay here. Feel free to check me out at my MySpace page.
bankroll: $357.92

Yo LAG, out of the blue my wife tells me today that her mother found that old poker shower curtain that I owed you as a bounty frmo DADI V like a year ago I think, and that she mailed it out to you like a week ago or so. I am beyond embarrassed that it took this long to get the bounty out to you, but at least I can claim truthfully that it was totally not my fault. Anyways, sorry very much for the delay and I hope you enjoy the curtain. Let me know please if you don’t receive it in the next few days and I will check in with my mother in law and make sure what’s up. Normally I try to avoid her at all costs but I will do this for you if you haven’t received the thing shortly because I want to get this off my conscience.
Over a year to send a bounty. Unbelievable.
