Where Now?
I’ve been playing poker just about every night, but haven’t felt like writing about it. I’ve pretty much hit that point where I can play $2/4 limit hold’em on auto-pilot, so there really isn’t anything to make for good reading.
Early in the week I started to clear my bonus ($425) on UB. I was winning, but nothing spectacular. There are many more rocks playing on UB, so you have to wait for your big hands and hope someone pays you off. For a couple of days of play I cleared nearly $70 in bonus funds and made about the same amount at the tables. After a short time of playing UB last night I just couldn’t take it anymore. The software only lets you play 3 tables at once and there were only 4 tables of 10-handed $2/4 running at any given time. Not exactly what I’m used to. Add in the fact that the VP$IP of the tables are rarely over 30%, if even 25%, and it gets boring pretty quickly. I needed some action.
Quoting Howard
While watching Howard Lederer play Razz on Full Tilt he said this…
NL is about making good laydowns
limit is about making good calls

Party Hit ‘n Run
Some quick hit ‘n run just before bed on Party Poker for $104 in 40 minutes split between $1/2 and $2/4. The AA streak is now at 17 in a row.
From Tilt to Party
Throughout this post I’ll be making a lot of sarcastic comments regarding online poker being rigged. This is due to the recent comments I’ve received on the post I just linked to. For the record I do not think online poker is rigged in any way, shape, or form.
After finishing off the Poker Stars bonus last week I decided to hit up Full Tilt Poker next where I had $50 in bonus funds waiting to be earned. Bad decision. I don’t like Full Tilt for a lot of reasons.

Where’s the Tinfoil Hat?
Check out this guy’s comment about online poker being rigged. Imagine that…he lost. It couldn’t be that he’s not good at online poker could it? If online poker is rigged so that we lose, how come so many of us have been winning players since we started? I just sit back and laugh at these jackoffs.
Another UB Bonus
Ultimate Bet is having another reload bonus. It’s a 50% bonus up to $100. I was quite suprised to see this one since the last reload bonus was less than a week ago. I now have $425 in bonus funds sitting at UB!
Poker Stars: A Hate/Love Relationship
After clearing the Empire bonus last weekend I decided to make Poker Stars the next stop on my bonus whoring tour. I’d need 600 FPP to clear the $120 bonus.
On Monday night I fired up Poker Stars and went looking for $0.50/1 tables. The first thing I noticed was there weren’t many full tables to choose from. Next, I noticed the tables were much tighter than those found at Party Poker. Oh well, we’ll give it a shot.

Steve Miller - Fly Like an Eagle
Saturday was my brother’s 18th birthday and he wanted to play some live poker. The Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant is the only Michigan casino that doesn’t have an age limit of 21, so Isaac and my Mom made a day trip down. The plan was to meet them there in the afternoon, but they weren’t leaving Rogers City until 2:00, so I decided to head over earlier. Ever since Soaring Eagle opened the poker room last February I’ve been talking about going to play with my friend Dave from work. It’s only about a 45 minute drive from Saginaw for me and less than a half hour for him from Midland, so it’s actually pretty sad we’ve hadn’t gone yet.
