A little better

Pokerwise, things have gone a little better. Started to gain momentum in some SNGs and then even when that started to tank, I made up for it with PLO cash winnings (for once). I ended up just having one of those sessions where I flopped a set every time and hit all of my flush draws. I guess it's bound to happen if you're just used to getting beaten over the head.

The SNGs this weekend were pretty soft, at least softer than usual, due to SNG madness. I think people end up playing more tables than they're used to, so on any given table, there are at least a couple pushbots who either soar or implode within the first 20 hands or so. I won a couple, but it should have been more. There was at least a $5 that I should have won, but ended up in second because of less than optimal play on my part. I didn't win anything in the raffle, but I did win an entry into a freeroll that takes place late Saturday afternoon. It's open to people who won two SNGs over SNG madness. First place is a little less than $5k, and there are about 16,000 entrants, with 3000 or so getting paid. I will just be happy to cash of course. We'll see how it goes. Tough to say I'm due.

The MTTs have not been going as well lately, but I don't think I've played as many. I'm trying to get the FTP holiday bonus. FTP's first deposit bonus is really the best because they give you a lot of time to generate money to get paid back some bonus money. These current offers only give you 30 days, which, at the stakes I play, pretty much gives me a chance to win the first incremental payout, which is $10. I'm at about $8.60 or so with 10 days left, so I'll hit it. Probably this weekend.

Then, it will take a portion off my rakeback, I know. I feel like I should do something with the bonus money though - like put it into a satellite, or even just roll it into an SNG. I rarely take those shots though, and when I do, I've usually been drinking and the results are disastrous. For whatever reason $10 SNGs hate me. I've won a $20 before, but never a $10, I don't think.
