Playing a Little iPoker
Checking over the iPoker sites I decided the NL games looked juicy enough, and so I chucked in some cash and played for just under an hour at a 6-max $50 NL table. I was pretty much card dead, which is too bad, as the play was lively at times, and I watched several people get a lot of chips into the pot on some very mediocre hands. It seemed like it was going to be possible to clean out someone eventually, but in my hour that opportunity never materialized. Real life intervened and I had to log out, but I have some hopes for future sessions there.
I did have a donk-like calldown on a new player at the table once. Without that I would have finished even. As it was, I was down a few $$. Nothing major. It did highlight for me (again) the necessity for having good reads on players - which I was never getting while 4-tabling. Later in the seession I would not have called him down.
I am somewhat disappointed at the rate the bonus is clearing at $50 NL SH. About $1.65/hour so far. That's fairly anemic by my reckoning, but it may be what I have to become accustomed to as I proceed - at least for now.
$300 Freeroll. I wanted to remind everyone that I am sponsoring a private freeroll at PitBull Poker this Sunday. All you need to do to get in is to join the forum and have an account at PitBull Poker. I am trying to give away $300, and I hope some folks turn out to get it!
