bonus(es)

well, i haven’t posted because i’ve been busy actually playing cards.  the effects of that 3betting series ran through me, and now i think i’ve digested the proper portion of it, and disposed of the rest.  in the interim i lost a couple bucks during the figuring out stage.  so be it. 

caught a bonus offer at stars, and got one deposit made (where they limited me to a $100 deposit, so i got a whopping $50 waiting for me).  then life got busy and i never got the other deposits made.  ack.  still $50 is better than the usual, which is nothing. 

ADD – stopped in at tilt and found the “push this button and get a $100 bonus with no deposit” situation.  so, i pushed the button.  that’s good.  bad is that i helped out a friend with a transfer, so i’ve got like $500 in there.  so i’m not rolled for $50NL at that room.  as a result i’ve dropped to $25NL so i can play off that bonus.  i’m 1/3 of the way there. 

i don’t have the patience to 4table for this adventure, so i’m playing 6.  have 4.7k hands in over 9 hours running 8ptbb/100 to the good.  6 is fun, and it’s all quite exciting, but i miss the nuances because i’m not watching hands that i’m not involved in with the same scrutiny.  whatever, this won’t last too long.  then i’ll take the profits from this busyness, hand them to the wife and say . . .

“here’s for those tickets to the B.C. Eagles game in October”.  

we’ve got a road trip planned, and it should be great.  i don’t think i’ve been back to that campus since i lived there, and without a doubt i’m roaming for a bit and enjoying that afternoon.  plus, if shinskie finds a way to start without sucking, it’ll be super-fun.

PUSHED BUY on some flyers tickets this afternoon as well.  i’ve put together trips with some die-hards from the tavern before, so i’m on the call list.  and, i got a call.  tickets for EVERY game are available for the “add-on” seats (luxury boxes, club boxes, assorted crap of that ilk).  i picked up 4 (so that’s me and the mrs plus two) for a suite experience in March against the Blackhawks (i own two NHL jerseys, Flyers and Blackhawks).  should be awesome.  might catch another game after that one, either red wings or rangers.

have a jam tomorrow, which i think is going to keep me on my toes since there are going to be a lot of holes in the usual folkin’ blues line-up.  i’m sure i’ll be able to fill in the spaces just fine, but it’ll involve a lot of stretching out – past the usual folkin’ blues experience.  in fact, i’m going out to pack up the kit in a few moments.

was gonna post up a couple of hands, but i decided that they’re bet/fold experiences.  (tp on a 3 flush board where i have none of the suit- AK).

ok, gotta pack up the kit, listen to some new tunes.
