Well bonuses are kinda excluded as the only sites im aware of that allow 10-tabling are party and stars (and maybe B2B? but i could never 10-table there) and they don't have bonuses very often. Rakeback is something i'm going to look into for sure but it'll be a lot easier for me to get it in a couple of months, when i think i might give it another go.

4-tabling at a rate of 6ptbb/100 would be a lot better, wouldn't it? And I know it's possible to get rates of up to 10ptbb/100 at the lower levels, even higher maybe..

It's also very, very draining to play 10-tables for anything more than an hour at a time..and to be entirely honest, those numbers aren't solid enough, i don't think 20k hands are a big enough sample size and my gut feeling is that my winrate was going to continue to plummet. I started on a heater and it was downhill the rest of the way... i'm sure i'll revisit the idea some time down the track, but for now i need a break from it.

Have you been tracking all of your finishes on a spreadsheet so you can see where it is you're having the most trouble clearing...??? Like, if a TON of your losses are 4-5, maybe you're either not playing aggressive enough early or too aggressive or bad luck, etc...

Yeah I have been, but I just don't think I have a big enough sample size for there to be much meaning to the results..either way, these are what they are (since the new party system):

Finish % Number
1st 13.2% 21
2nd 15.7% 25
3rd 16.4% 26
4th 15.7% 25
5th 12.6% 20
6th 9.4% 15
7th 8.8% 14
8th 3.1% 5
9th 3.1% 5
10th 1.9% 3

That's 11s, 22s and 33s.

It does look like there are a lot of 4-5, but my ROI is still at 33.3% so I can't really complain much.

I played two sets of 4 $22s earler today, i got a ridiculous amount of 4ths and 1sts.:

Overall tho a good winning session.

Good luck with the party endeavor =) I think unless you have terrible luck, $78 should be enough to get a roll going with at the $6s at party.

Played 12 22s, 2 firsts, 1 second and 1 third.

Also tried a $33 MTT, 125 entrants, i went out in 31st with QQ vs AA preflop, he limped after another limper and he was OTB, there was no way I put him on that hand.

Once again I have gone against everything i've ever said before about "NEVER going back to B2B" and i've deposited 500US to Heypoker to clear their reload bonus. It's a 10x bonus and is paid out in increments of 10e. Wish me luck.

Doyles room is clearing quite well, i've cleared about 6,000 points now and i'm up about $130. I played in the bounty freeroll type thing this morning and busted out in 99th place, I pushed Q9 from the SB into the BB who just happened to pick up aces! Playing the NL100 tables I think there's a LOT of profit to be made here. I've made a couple of donk calls tho, 1 was with AQ on an AJ2A board, i bet the flop and got called, i led out on the turn when an ace came and got raised all-in and couldn't get away from it. He had AK. (no raise preflop so i kinda thought he bad a bare ace). Another was when I had A8s and raised to 5 preflop (4 handed table) and got 1 called, flop was J25 with 2 of my suit and it was checked to me i bet 10, he goes all in and i call (he had about a 3/5 stack), he had J2?!??! cant believe he called my raise is that.. but yeah, turn was the jack of my suit, rive was another 2 just to put insult to injury..

Played with Seb yesterday and MVP today, he talked me into downloading AIM, i've never been a fan of any chat programs other than msn but he told me he had 21 BTPers on his list so i caved and spent the next 20 minutes figuring out how to remove the ugliest chat-window background ever created.

Played a few SNGs on doyle's too and i'm up a little there. I think my total roll atm is sitting around $1,000 - $1,200 with money on party, doyle's and bonus to come in on heypoker. I've gotta clear this DR bonus asap so i can withdraw and deposit to get the stars bonus too. I'm taking a hiatus from party sngs atm, haven't quite gotten over my last downswing yet.

Untill next time..
