Mindless poker is abound lately. Why? Because I'm trying to clear all these pending bonuses so I can safely play $1 Craps, eat $.99 shrimp cocktails, and get a lap dance or four in downtown Vegas during the WPBT.
I found myself five tabling again last night. Unadvisable is a good word to use for that. I managed to piss away my earnings at Full Tilt from Monday last night. One $20 SnG, one bluff gone wrong, one Drizz going out in 6th. Then I tried a $3/$6 LIMIT Hold Em' table. Was running smooth for an hour then a river suckout plus a AQ vs AK flopping an ace cost me 15 BB. Maybe it was better that I was playing limit at the time. I'm only 8,300 points short of that WSOP freeroll they are putting on. I'm determined to reach that point total to be able to participate. But, determination does not equal results, just like Lucas would probably never get a college football scholarship despite the hazing he went thru to make the team (old 80's movie reference, I'm 99.9% sure people who read this blog know the movie, if you don't you're retarded, go google it...).
PartyPoker released my bonus plus making back everything I'd lost at the $2/$4 Bad Beat Bingo tables. I pulled up my stats for the month on Pokertracker, seeing I lost $244 at those tables. Ouch. But, the Omaha 8 and $50NLHE tables provided where the Bad Beat Jackpot bingo halls (minus the blue haired beauties) took away.
Ok... one bonus down, lets see where the rest is at.
$150 to clear at Absolute (still dislike the client with a passion, but they have great bonus deals, and a very generous VIP program.
$200 to clear at UltimateBet - If I'm in the mood for self-punishment I'll four table this bad boy, at least you can play decent tourneys, many different poker variations, and heckle Phil about his choice in dental instraments
$440 to clear at NoblePoker - This one clears at a decent rate and I have the most money there at the moment. The games are extremely soft making for good profits, and the client while slow, is very appealing for multi-tabling.
$150 at PokerStars - Only need 3-4 $20 SnGs and I can clear this one. And after losing 1/2 of my original deposit rather quickly, I'll consider breaking-even on this one a win (which I will if I make the money just once).
$100 at Full Tilt - This bonus, I'm not really trying to clear. Love the client, love the games, love the variety. I've made this site the place to play when I'm not busy bonus whoring and I will be leaving my money in this site even after I've cleared the bonus.
I won't mention the Crypto sites since I can't clear them this month. Something about going up to the cabin and playing golf all weekend seems more appealing. That and since my good friends Burnsie and E are going to be up there, I'm sure we'll be checking out the new poker room at Hinckley's Grand Casino (another chance for me to blow my Vegas stash before even getting there).
I just looked the calendar and saw we have less then 40 days to Vegas. Anyone have one of those nifty countdown clocks that we could stare at like watching a stripper stradling a pole while sliding down from the ceiling? I'm sure with all the computer geeks out there someone knows how to set it up. :)
