Tournament Mistakes
I don’t feel like going through hand histories from Friday night’s 9th place finish so there won’t be any tournament recap. There wasn’t much interesting content anyway. I had a few paragraphs typed up for a post about tournament mistakes but have deleted it. I didn’t like the way the words were coming out.
A Final Table
After clearing the reload bonus on Empire Poker tonight I noticed a $10,000 guaranteed tournament with very few people signed up. It was $75+7 and since Empire had just given me $150 in free money I said what the hell and signed up. When the tournament started 120 people has signed up, so Empire had to add $1000 of their own cash to the prize pool. Sweet! The top 20 places paid, so my first focus was on making the money, but I made it all the way up to 9th before making a bonehead mistake. 9th place paid $300 for a nice $218 profit. It’s late and I have a lot to get done in the morning before heading off to the casino, so a tournament recap will just have to wait.
Making Progress
Or am I?
On Tuesday night I finally cleared the 2250 raked hands for the MultiPoker signup bonus. It took me a week. Ridiculous! I’m definitely not taking advantage of the reload bonus they’re running right now. 20x raked hands. That’ll take forever. Tuesday was one of those nights where you wonder how you don’t lose your whole bankroll. I couldn’t get a hand to hold up. Big slick only flopped top pair once out of 8 times. Mrs. Slick did it one out of four. Cowboys were 0-2 as were the ladies. I played for a about three hours or so. Finally around midnight I cleared the bonus and cashed out. Considering how my good starting hands performed, I was glad to only lose 20 big bets for the session. During my stay at MultiPoker I finished $0.04 ahead. Woohoo!! I was up over 70 BB about halfway through the bonus clearing, but went a little downhill from there.

MultiPoker Bonus
I signed up for MultiPoker about a week ago and I’ve already been given a reload bonus. 100% up to $100 through April 10th with bonus code APR05RELOAD. Great bonus even though they require 20 raked hands for every bonus dollar. At least they give 20 days to play the hands.
Downhill Dutch
Has anyone else been following Dutch Boyd’s blog? He seems to be on a downward spiral, out of control. It’s one thing after another. I’ve recently been in touch with Dutch through email. He had even given me his cell phone number to discuss some things about Poker Chip Tricks. I don’t think I’ll be calling him anytime soon though. I hope he can get his life together…
Fold’em Cowboys
Today I folded KK pre-flop without anyone raising before me. Doh! I was playing 4 tables at the time and hit the fold button on the wrong table. When the flop came JJK I felt sick because one other player was betting his Jack. I’ve been 4-tabling for a few months and haven’t made any mistakes like that previously. At the time I was arguing with a player at one of the other tables so I wasn’t fully paying attention when I should have. Maybe I should just turn chat off.
