I've cleared about half the bonus so far. After several months of strictly live play, it's kind of fun to get back into the online game. I'm enjoying it. Up a little too. I think I may try to make a run at this again and try to build a roll out of this initial $1k.

Live poker = riding a tricycle on a sidewalk
Online poker = driving in rush hour traffic, bumper to bumper, 75mph, on acid.

Speed is insane. Forgot about that.

Also, was driving to Loew's today to get some stuff for the downstairs bathroom and was reminiscing about days past. $5/$10 LHE used to be one of the donkiest games on the net. I was killing the games and making $1k+ in rakeback alone monthly. Now, I'm "concerned" (scared?) about players at the $1/$2 level. This shit has changed.

Oh, and one time, I think I made like $3k in bonus over 8 weeks on Party. Acceler8tor bonus or something like that? Man, this online thing used to be dope for a lot more people. Now it seems like you have to be a fucking genius to make the money I used to make on the side.

Blah. I should start blogging on here.

Yes, you should.

And I hear you about how good we used to have it. There is hope though. Legislation was introduced yesterday that just might have a chance. I personally think it's the best legislation out there.

Actually, I should start a new thread about that.
