Ok so no $ in my Bovada acct, and they are having this holiday poker point bonus thing next 2weeks and Im getting a little late start but I figure I will make a small deposit of $24 which I already did, and see if I can grind some small Omaha and work my way to a nice little bankroll between $100 to $200 taking advantage of this promotion which will be ending Dec 30th. (plus im getting tired of this gun control thread so I need another diversion lol)

My poker point balance stands at 42.7 and they are paying at the end of each week (ending Sunday). 50 points = $10, 100 points = $25, 200 points= $50. So I need to get to 92.7, then142.7, 242.7 respectively. The $10bonus, sure I will get, the $25 bonus will be a challenge but is doable, andthe $50 bonus probably cannot, especially with the late start and small acct.,but I think may have a realistic shot next week if I am doing well. I am posting this to help me stay focused on my goal and not go on tilt or anything and to help keep track of my progress. After this week then I need to recalculate the poker point goals for next.

I am free the next couple of weeks so I will be able to play a lot, for what I usually play anyways. I am not big on multi-tables, I will do it sometimes but 2 at the most, or my game suffers too much, and there aren’t really enuff Omaha tables going at Bovada anyways. I will likely just be grinding 5 cent all this week, even if my acct significantly grows from rungood. What I really want is to accomplish a reasonable goal of $25bonus this week and 25 or 50 next, and then see where Im at and go from there.If so, should have 100-200 acct at that point and would be very happy.

So im goin to be posting my progress on here every 24 to 48 hours and see what happens. Omaha poker begins tonight !!

I am working on this bonus as well. I've been playing 4 tables of $5 double or nothing sit and goes. I get .75 points per game and have already passed the 50 point level and am closing in on the 100 point level. I'm sure I could pass the 200 point level if it wasn't for a little thing called my job.

I have been playing on bovada quite a bit recently too. I started from free, and am up to 27 dollars now,all won from free on bovadaholiday freeroll and the bonus 10 :) I just noticed that flame thing too today i think, lol, I like it, it seems to happen just some of the time, maybe like u said at showdown. I,m not sure what to play with such a small bankroll right now, i,m just tryin to NOT lose it right now GL.

I think the flames are for certain hands, not necessarily showdowns. It seems like flush or higher.

yeah believe you're right, im gettin the flames on premium hands like flush and better. I got quads and it was like lightning electricity thru the cards, that was even better, but quads dont happen too often lol. they prolly have something cooler for str8 flush and royal

Question #1: Are you playing PLO? PLO8?

Question #2: How many tables?

Congrats on your progress. 60pts in 2 days is nicee. That's why I'm curious if you're on 1 table, cus that would take some serious time. Well done Mr.LF :icon_thum

thanks for the encouragement. I play PLO hi only. prolly around 60% of the time one table but sometimes 2 tabling, and ya the points come really slow on one table, esp if im card dead ,and the other players are real slow. that was the case on the only 5 cent table goin late last night, think it was like 4 hours just to get the last 10 points :mad:

What's it mean? Just aknowleging a sweet hand? Cuz I got three of those today. Can anybody else at the table see it?

Anyway, I opted in this morning and bumped my points by 38 today. Am I in? How do I know.

I hate mystery quests. :rolleyes:

ya, just means you got a nice hand, flush or full house is flames and if you get quads its lightning electricity kind of thing. I want to see what happens with str8 flush or royal, still waitin for that hand :cool:
you went to that link at top of this page and clicked 'enter now' right? thats how you get in. as far as tracking, they send U out an email telling you how many more points u need for 200, i got one this morning, or just keep track how many points you started from, thats part of the reason I made this post

its almost chow time and a $25 bonus is on the menu :eating:

you forgot to say "hijack/" but Congrats. I would assume open the 100k lobby for this Sunday and just register.

since my last posting, have been on the most brutal run of bad beats in my life i think, at this point tho, im not even gunna think about it or talk about it, just put it behind me and try to grind back at least to my deposit amount. I need 10 more points to make the $25 bonus, and if the bad luck continues I should have just enuff to get there before i bust out, but hopefully it will not and i can get back to 20+ and then add the bonus to it. +30 poker points since last (90 total) and Acct is -$19 ... ouch
:thrasher:

Nicely done. I wonder how they calculate points because it seems like you get the same amount of points just for having some change in the pot versus having half you stack.

got the 25 bonus. My goal this week is to get an early start and reach 100 ponts as soon as possible and take a real shot at the 200 points by the end of the week.

Nicely done. I wonder how they calculate points because it seems like you get the same amount of points just for having some change in the pot versus having half you stack.

I noticed a small increase in amount of PP earned when I am in bigger pots. small becuz i only play 5 cent tables, but there is a diff if you are in the bigger pots. I found this info on Bovada.
