Piers what do you think about WPX, do you thrust them, that they pay the money
what they promise.
For me its like the Garden of Eden.

Mother phucker I hate losing hands like this last one. Was my last hand before taking a break and get crushed by this fool and his 2 outer. But on a bright note I suppose I have pushed the monthly win to over 5K which isn't too shabby since I have been primarily playing 2-4 and 3-6 limit for the most part. I have put in more hours this month than is normal for me but still not to where I want to be.

WOW! What a morning. All playing 2-4 to 5-10 limit I found myself down close to 580.00 within the first 45 minutes or so of play and then went on a monstrosity of a rush of about 750.00 within the next 1.5 hours to finish a little over 2 hour session up +171.00. Sessions just don't come much more swingy than that my friends.

Damn what a tough day at the B2B site. I have dropped nearly 400 euros there more or less today although I have picked up about 60-70 or so in bonus. On the other front I have spanked the party donks for nearly 500 at the 3-6 games. All in all still winning a little today but shit what a load of frustration finishing off that bonus there. Still another 350 VIP to go. Don't know if I will go back there today or not as my image can't be too good

Somehow I managed to make 62.00 for my morning session. Was running along pretty good when I got trampled by a nice two outer, a set over set fiasco and some more nonsense with donks trying to give away their money to me and catching cards on the river, but so it goes. I am playing pretty damn well now so can't complain too much.

One more quick session at B2B before lunch to push me over the 100 mark for the day. I need about 260 more VIP there to clear the 3001 for the month. Probably try to knock that out today.

Damn I hate losing to idiots.

Well put 2000 VIP to a decent use in a 20+2 S & G at B2B. Managed a 3rd place finish which was nice after I got crippled by a fool with 4 people left. He had about 1600 in chips in the SB and I was in the BB with 2200 or so and AA. Blinds 1-200 I think and he makes it 450 or so to go and I min raise him to 900 and he goes all in with 10 9o. Flop comes 774 and all I am thinking is put something low and away out there on turn to end this because I know if there is any card comes that gives him a possibility the old river will get there. Sure enough a J rolls off on the turn and I know without a doubt an 8 is coming and sure enough there it is. But kept my composure and battle back when my AJ held up all in against two calls to triple me up to 1800 and got me a third place finish.

hi piers,

Have you got any tips playing at b2b?
strategy, players etc..?

I play NL 6 max. (50-100) Or is limit clearing faster?

The players at the SH limit tables from 2-4 to 5-10 are not very good with a few exceptions and there are some true donators there quite often. For clearing bonuses the limit games at 2-4 limit and higher are much faster than clearing them at the NL 50 (ca. 15 VIP per table/hr) and 100 tables (ca. 30 VIP per table/hr). If shorthanded limit play is not your bag there have been usually 2-4 full ring game 2-4 limit going each day around 12 EST - 5 or 6 EST. Good luck.
