I'm getting my balls handed to me in a greasy sack. Down 54BB halfway into this thing. My AJs is no match to Q4 these days. Variance can sure be a bitch, especially at the micro-limits.

So go ahead, Zoo, and rub my nose in it about how badly I suck at beating K9 offsuit with AA. I could use a good laugh right about now /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nah, not tilting /images/graemlins/grin.gif Just that I don't play micros any more except to clear bonuses, and I had forgotten how bad the suckouts are. I'm laughing Dr. Evil style when I hit kings with AK and somebody who coldcalled with K3s catches a runner runner flush. BWAHAHAHA I love the idiocy of it all.

Seriously, though, I am glad this is happening on a bonus hunt rather than at my normal 6-12 game /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

You need to "raise more preflop", then you can "Improve your game" and "move up" After taking these steps losing "rakeback" and "bonuses" after the "IPO" wont hurt so much. "small sample" though.

I was up 80$ on the clearing and came second in a 10+1 SnG used to exorcise myself after being subjected to limit hold'em. So all in all I made 300$.

Was down 100BB after 3-tabling 7CS for 800 hands. I've now been 4-tabling Hold'Em and with 300 hands left, +5BB /images/graemlins/cool.gif Quite the swing.

Up 47BB after 661 hands (only 297 of which have been raked).

This bonus is going to clear slowly, 4-tabling, getting 120 raked hands an hour means I will be playing for at least 10 hours (only played for 2.5 hours so far, sigh)...how the hell do people clear these things quickly? I need to 4 table 25NL 6-max, it should clear in like 2 hours... /images/graemlins/smile.gif

4 tabling the 100NL 6 max is the quickest way I use to clear these things

Was up 68BB near the end.
......
Then dropped 56BB in the last hour. But at least I go with a small winning.

$25NL won $55 + $200 bonus = $255 profit

At least I didn't lose any money.
