Bet365 Bonus
Well I decided to give this sign up bonus a shot. Deposited $75 on Nov 26. Played the bonus at .25/.50. Played a couple hours on the 26th, then a probably 4 or 5 more hours on the 27th. Monday I played around 4-6 hours and by this time was up $100 dollars. On Tuesday I played all day and was holding steady at $100 profit when I lost around $60 on a hand that a guy chased a straight draw all the way down to the river where he hit the straight. I had pocket 7's. Flop came 237 rainbow. I bet $5, he called. Turn was a 6. I bet $3 he raised to $7 and I pushed and I pushed all in. He called. River was a 5 and he hit his 9 high straight. He called $30 worth of bets chasing to the river. I stop for the night.
So after that Im down to around $100, so still up $25. I build it back up to around $110 total today and then loose another $50 when my AAKK falls to trip 10's that was well hidden. He had pocket 10's, I had pocket AK. Drops me down to $60. Then loose another $35 when my trip J's lost out to a chased flush.
Built it back up to $40 when I reached my rake total. So I started with $75, lost $35, made the $100 bonus (waiting on credit) for a $60 profit or a total of $135 final total. I'm going to go back and play at .10/.20 and see about getting that $35 back so I can at least break even.
Competition wasnt too tough at all at the .25/.50, dont know what the difference would have been in competition at the .50/1 level. The bonus would have been alot easier to clear there thats for sure.
Would I do it again? If I could play at the .50/1 I probably would, but my bankroll wouldnt allow that. At .25/.50 maybe not. Anyhow after this my bankroll is sitting at $250 and could have been close to $400 if not for those 3 hands.
Overall I had to have played 2000 plus hands just to clear the 500 raked hands at the .25/.50 nl tables. Oh yeah what made this take so long also was that I mostly just single tabled the whole thing. Not a good idea. I didnt think I was ever going to reach that 500 mark.
Dogs edit note: All monetary overall totals and total bets on those 3 hands are all off memory, Im old so they may not add up exactly.
