Ahead...

My lil break didn't last long... only a few hours.... I still had like a buck and some change bonus money to work off on UB, so I did that, and managed to come out about 7 bucks ahead while playing the minimum limit tables necessary for the bonus. Also played in a $5 MTT there.. and became perturbed that a person, not on a blind would actually call my 3XBB raise with 84s, preflop. Then end up getting the flush to bust me out. I had AKs, just not the right suit, apparently. Ended up with trips... yay...not good enuff for those that worship 84s preflop. Oh, we went all in after the flop, he got his flush runner, runner... truly a sad time for poker everywhere...

Played five $10 SnG's on Party, managing 3 2nd place finishes, which gave me a profit of $40.00.

Then my allergies got the best of me and I went to bed..

This all happened Monday... or was it Sunday... hmmmm at any rate, I haven't been playing all that much....I hate being sick....

Congrats on getting ahead!!! Wish I could say the same... right now I think I'm about $100 in the hole... learned a lot from the game though. I'll probably swing over to UltimateBet next time I decide to "invest".

All in all, I lose less playing poker than I do playing pool, so not a bad thing, I guess.. lol

UB gives you a first time deposit bonus.. 25%... which is fairly easy to work off, relatively risk free... playing the limit holdem tables.. only playing premium hands, etc... suppose you could do it on the NL tables, but, then, you would be tempted to sumtin silly, that you couldn't do at a limit table.. and the goal would be to work off the bonus.. so...

plus, if you mention me, Slayre, as a referrer, you get a lil more I think.. and so will I. :)

Yup, I got a 50% bonus if you claim a referrer.... you probably will get something also...
