Promoting Poker

Now that I am back in the saddle for promoting poker at Bull's Betting Information, I can't tell if it's better or worse than before.  Definitely different.  Even when I find a good offer and get it posted it doesn't draw much more than a squeak from the forum community.  And those are some bonus-loving fools.

The problem, of course, is moving money.  It's hard to do for US players, so most players want to find a book and play it for months vice chasing off the bonus in a few days and moving on to another one.  It can be depressing, but I am determined to persevere.

Friday night at the tables I could not lose.  Saturday I could not win.  Sunday I could not lose again.  I definitely like winning more than losing.  Laughing

First hand Saturday, I have AA in the BB and get cracked by 92o in the SB, who called down on a KJ9 J 9 board.  I should have known right there to stop playing.  I took one pot in just under 200 hands.  I couldn't stand any more abuse after that.  Just one of those nights!

I am loving the podcasts that some ITHers are doing from the WSOP.  The hand recounting is good, and the colorful commentary from nsidestrate on the hijynx after they bust out is great!  I am leaving in about 48 hours and I am stoked!

When I get home, though, I have to get serious about my health.  I had a physical health assessment recently and the Doc said I am a ticking bomb for a heart attack.  All my numbers are bad:  blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, and family history.  In gambler's parlance, I need to adopt a more +EV lifestyle for my health.  After Vegas, of course.

Happy Chasing!
