Best Valentine's Day gift EVER!!!

[yoadrians]

First of all, thanks to everyone who posts on this site. I don't post often, but I read enough where I feel my game has improved significantly over the past six months. Thank you.

So, I'm 28 years old with a wife and kid. Love the whole family thing, seriously, and I have a regular job at night and play on-line, home and casino poker for extra spending cash. But with a wife who works during the day and a child to watch, I rarely find time to play online except for maybe an SNG or two at night after work, or while baby takes a nap. So ...

For Valentine's Day, my wife gave me a coupon called: 24 Hours of Online Poker. Yes, this Saturday, the 19th, from the time I wake up in the morning until I go to bed, I can sit and rot on the CPU all day and play on Stars and Party. As part of the coupon, she's even agreed to cook me breakfast, lunch and dinner of my choosing [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Nice. I don't have to change a diaper, either, which might be better than getting the homemade meals [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Here are my questions to you all:

1) I want the day to be BOTH fun and profitable. I find SNGs and MTTs a ton of fun, and I do OK. But I tend to 'make' more money when I sit and rot at the .50-$1 or $1-$2 limit tables. So, should I map out all of the MTTs on Party and Stars and play those? Play only 1-table SNGs? Waste away on limits? Or mix it up?

2) I'll have about a $150 to $200 bankroll for the day. That's not my whole poker bankroll, of course. That's just what I plan on putting into play for that day. I would like to get the most out of it ... suggestions?

3) Is it ever a good idea to multitable MTTs? Some of the tourneys I mapped out to play in Saturday may crossover each other (assuming I don't bust early in the earlier one) ... if I'm late in an MTT, should I just focus on that one as opposed to starting the next one, too?

4) Any specific NL HoldEm tournaments I just can't miss online on Saturday that would work within my bankroll for the day?

5) What should I ask my wife to cook for breakfast? lunch? dinner?

Any answers to these questions - plus advice, etc., on a long day of gaming - would be really appreciated. Like I said, I'm pumped about the day, but I want to make it count.

Thanks again.

p.s. Yeah, my wife got a good V-Day present, too ... a four-day trip to Dallas to visit her best friend in March. I get the kid for 4 days then, but I'll take some time off work and bring him to my folks house for a little 'relief pitching.'

Have a fun saturday!

1) It's your day of fun, play the MTT's. Throw in a sng while you're waiting for another MTT to start.

2) If you play all day you should easily get $200 into play playing $10 sngs and $20 MTT's.

3) Mutli-tabling MTT's isn't any harder than multi-tabling ring games. If you're late in one of them, I'd concentrate on that and don't bother with the next one.

4) Nah

5) Breakfast - Go the whole nine yards; eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, english muffin, pancakes.

Lunch - A gigantic roast beef sandwich

Dinner - Have her cook you a pepperoni tombstone pizza, and you have to eat the whole thing


have fun!!

Nice gift. Can she, um, assist you while you play? Give you a little boost?

your best bet may be to take your 200 and put it into a new site offering a good first-time deposit bonus. Perhaps tgc, or pokerroom.

Um, maybe when the baby takes a nap. But like the way you think.

I'm thinking I'll kick the day off around 8 a.m. and finish off whenever I bust out of that $10+1 MTT on Stars that starts at 2:15 a.m. the next morning. Can't wait.

As a father of two children under the age of 3, I agree that this is a GREAT gift! I'm actually jealous.
Enjoy!

This is a woman that knows how to keep a man. Never let her go!

And one final question: With a $200 bankroll for the day, is there a limit on what I should spend on an MTT? Should I stick to the 5s and 10s, with maybe an 11+R, or could I crank out a $20 or two? Or will it depend on how I'm running that day? And what about SNGs?

Bankroll thoughts?

I hear you ... she's a good woman with a very thoughtful gift. And she's a red-head, too. SWEET!
