Official Party Bonus Brag Thread

[SomethingClever]

Just cleared the bonus. 2,200 hands, +111 BB @.5/1

Unfortunately, that lowered my win rate /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[cokehead]

up 130 BB at 1/2 6 max, havent finished yet though, 1000 hands in

[richie]

Finished my $200 bonus tonight, +$8.00 before bonus /images/graemlins/blush.gif
Lost ~$75 at 2/4, then grinded my way back multi-tabling .50/1 stud, HE, and OHL tables. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[rerazor]

I cleared it in a day on the $25 nl tables and made about $150 in the process.

[climber]

I lost 94BB playing 222 raked hands. Worst consecutive run of bad beats I've ever seen.

Aces full--he rivers his fourth 2.
TPTK he's got raggety two pair.
Flopped top set-he flopped the nut straight.
And overcards all around on the river every hand.

It was truly amazing. Something like a -33BB/100 rate.

However that merely brought me down to 4.75 BB/100 over the last 2k hands. And my 18BB/100 win rate in one 500 hand shot at the 1/2 level helps too. I'm logging on now--lets see if I can pull out of this nosedive.

[busguy]

Up 164 BB with 696 raked hands in at $2/4 Full.

While you guys were clearing a bonus, I won $11,000 playing SnGs.

The whole point of clearing bonuses is safe, easy money. And unless you were playing $1000 sit n gos I bet it took longer than 7 hours.

[mmbt0ne]

I managed to go on a hot streak the last session and end +30ish BB.

[Losing all]

He plays the 11,000+500 HU turbo's on superstar poker. 4 minutes

[MicroBob]

-60 BB's on the 15/30 full.

Have I mentioned that I'm going to hit the 5/10 6-max tables for a little while?

Thank goodness there is no variance with this route...

Btw... +130bb

[TylerD]

Thats only $10,500.

[HesseJam]

I am close to clearing 100$ up 22 BB. I started 48 BB down after 200 hands. I misplayed a couple of hands where I went to the cap on the turn and the river wasting about 20 BB.

[cjromero]

Cleared the $200 bonus playing 4 tables of 2/4. Just finished up 100BB. Not great, but not too bad considering I was down 75BB halfway through.

[Noodles]

Dont play much poker, huh?

[lumpy19]

Finished +75BB while 4-tabling 1/2.

[stir]

....just to make you feel a little better: lost 109 BB at $1/2 over 1,400 raked hands.

[climber]

Yeah I've only played about 30-35k hands. I've had a few sessions putting those beats on others but never had them all put on see so consecutively. Last night I got in another 200 raked and held even so its over...for now.

[Entity]

1,710 hands, +208.98 at 1/2 6max for 6.11BB/100. Was at 12BB/100 for quite a while, but the swings got to me at the end of my session.

[Inthacup]

Honestly, what's your point?

I bet it took longer than 7 hours.

You're right. It took about 10.5 hours.

Hmm, your name did seem familiar on the table last night. Now I wonder though if folding my open ender to your turn reraise with 3 suited on the board was a good idea. 2+2er are known bluffers!

Deposited on Sunday, becuase in addition to the bonus had a jacket waiting for me for just 600 hands. Figured jacket+bonus was worth a marathon two days (for me that is). So cleared 650 since sunday night and I am exhausted - most poker I have played in a one day stretch and frankly dont know how you guys do 1000+ hands a day. Think I am up about 40 BB during the run.

[challenger84]

took an underbankrolled shot at 5/10 6 max, i now have the bankroll for it.

[Amid Cent]

4 Tabled Omaha .5/1. Up 65 BB.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[jedi]

I suck. Lost probably 20-30 BB multitabling 1-2 HE, and 2-4 or 3-6 Omaha. There were a few suckouts here and there, but mainly I was pushing AK unimproved too hard. Luckly, I still made money with the bonus.

[air]

+133 BB 3-6 1100 raked hands in.

The whole point of playing poker is to maximize your hourly earn rate. Bonuses usually are but might not be the best way to get there.

[bicyclekick]

And I didn't do the bonus and got 136 in rakeback for those 1400 hands. This 200 one was almost worth the hassle, but not quite.

[JoshuaD]

2400 hands, +160BB's at .5 / 1. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[34TheTruth34]

nice avatar. so much better than all those porn chicks...

/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Freakin]

Lost 75BB at 2/4 clearing it. I think it's more than variance though. I need to re-examine my play. I think I need to bring back some of my weaker side, instead of just assuming that "they probably don't have an Ace" and crap like that. At least the bonus made the -75BB hurt less.

[Gatts]

Cleared part of it at .5/1, was up 30 BB in 500 hands. Jumped to 1/2, I'm up 60 BB there in 500 hands. Played 650 raked hands and I'm up 75 1/2 BB. Should have it done by Thursday, hopefully with some hefty profit intact.

[dfscott]

2,478 hands at 2/4.

Finished up 33BB, which I'm pretty happy with considering that I was down 50BB about halfway through.

[Vern]

1765 hands +94 BB at Party Full 1/2, 4 tabling took a little under 8 hours.

Would have been higher, but I misclicked fold instead of call when faced with a turn reraise I had decided to call down. He flashed Kings, I had Aces. Lost a >20BB pot there. I don't know how others can do 8 tables, I do ok with 4, but cannot imagine doubling the load.

I've done 8 before, and I can't really handle it. I can do 6 no problem but I get tired of it, since I can't do anything else, personally.

[twankerr]

4 tables the 25$ PL games. Lets just say I usually 2-table everything, so once i hit that 3rd hour i started getting antsy. I was up about 100$ (200BB) in the first half, then lost almost all of it back and ended up +15$. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[emonrad87]

I just finished the bonus, up $400 (200BB) from playing, plus the $200 bonus! /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[daryn]

I'm not sure since I made a couple of flushes and straights that night. I am "usually" not empty-bluffing a 3-suited board but still I am bluffing way too much. As I said above I had a bad short stretch, where I mindlessly spewed chips while feeling fatigue and being overmatched with 3-tabling. I guess I should stick to two tables and take a break every two hours to regroup. A lot of people here 4-table or even more. I am too old for that (40+).

LOL, that is often also my line of thinking. Last night I pushed middle pair way too often (and way too far) and was mercilessly called own.

[Jstyal]

I completed the bonus in 3 sessions of 4-table .50/1 within a day.

-First session I ended up +19BB

-Second session: -95BB (Bad Beat Central, Inc. A division of Suckout Corp.)

-Third and final session: +144BB (Does this mean I can play in the WPT now?)

For a profit of +68BB, excluding bonus.

[Equal]

Just finished clearing the bonus. 1,677 hands at 16.23bb/100 - went on a absolutely sickening tear after I made the deposit. Please tell me that rate is sustainable. (should I make a post in the Texas Hold Em forum asking this question lol?)

Gotta love poker when you make a boat with 26o and have TWO players call your RERAISE on the RIVER at $15/$30!

Was up about 7.5k during the bonus earning period but I couldn't wait to get that extra $200 "free" lol. Good times... first bonus I chased in a long time.

Please say you got a free ride from the BB. I'd call your reraise too if the only hand that beat me was 26o.
