That's OK... bought back in, made it up three hands later with trip 3's against Jacks.

Meh... up and down. Heart wasn't into it. Felt like a grind.

Took about an hour to get 11.76 points.
Down only $2 for the session, including the $4 buy-in I lost right away.

Still up $14 for the week... 2 more days to get $5.

seen alot of ppl from CC at the tables lately...hard to notice cuz you move so fast but i notice a few occasionally. saw you today jazz =)

up about 13 BI over 4 days

^^^

Yeah same, I've seen a good few playing.

Rush week has made the games really nitty though. Ave. pot rarely above $0.55/$0.60 and VPIP 18-19. Bring on the weekend fish hopefully.

Another day done, won $51.11 today. Boy it feels great to run good on a friday night where people are stacking off with top pair no kicker. My best session ever too.

My promotion update:
$73.54 won on the tables + $25 bonus guaranteed.

Maybe I should consider making rush my main game, but then again this promotion is probably attracting a lot of fish.

Geez... I'm such an idiot.

I started playing around lunch today... got a few points, got tired, went to take a nap.

Woke up later and started playing during my usual late evening time and realized that the clock had struck midnight on the east coast over an hour ago. There is no freaking way I could have gotten 10 points on "Saturday"...

So my 4-days was a failure. Even though I did get 20 points total over the week...

However, I'm still up over $16-17 for the week, so I guess I can't complain too much.

completed for $50, was able to pull decent profit 6 of 7 days for nice boost to bankroll.

completed my $50 bonus as well ^^

+ 16 BI
+ $22 rakeback
+ $50 rush bonus
= dam good week

Up about 20 BI's but tried to rush the points today and it cost me ~$20, sigh.

I ended up getting the $10. Down a little over 2 BI so almost broke even.

Anyone qualify for FR by reaching the final table of a rush tourney?

On the other hand, i'm about $1100 below EV for the week, and fishes seem to have a god given right to hit when they set mine in 3bet pots not even 100bb deep, so $250 is really pocket change.

Somebody please tell me the fish don't dry up when this promo ends...

Screw the promo - I grabbed another 3+ buy-ins in an hour session today.

Finished the promo, stuck to 50 pts a day tho and made money, so all is good. Tried one rush tourney, didn't make final table.

Ran awful today. Fish were trying crazy bluffs and hitting their two outers, the rare times I'd make big hands and got action they'd suckout, lost 4BIs in two hours. There's something about Sunday that makes me lose, it's the only day where I have a negative win rate.

Still ended the week up $43.5, that's 2.23 BB/100. Could have definitely be better but I won't complain. I'm also going to get twice the rakeback I would have (because I'd probably play only for the 50 points) and, of course, there's the $50. Nice boost to my BR, if it wasn't for today's loss I'd be pretty close to move up in stakes.

Also, rush is a very good training platform for multitabling, now that I'm going back to the normal tables 3tabling them like I used to will seem slow, so I guess it's time to add at least one more.

I actually found the games nittier this week than usual. So many people sitting with min buyins just folding every hand. Average pots and vpips were lower than usual imo.

When are we going to get the funds in our account?

Got my points for the 7 days, +2.00 for the week plus the $10 bonus.

I am just a minor leaguer!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

I was wondering the same thing.

+1 Glad to hear others didn't get the bonus yet.

You will get it tomorrow dont worry
