Losing my shirt...

[bunny]

I've decided to stick around and try to clear my bonus on UB.

I have switched from playing at $1/$2 (eeejit's idea) to micro-limits (nikita's idea). Amazingly enough, it seems to be working. I've been multi-tabling, $.02/$.04 & $.05/$.10, starting my own tables as was suggested by Robbie, for the extra 25%. (every little bit helps, when trying to clear bonus. good tip)

Basically, try to play only my blinds, check/fold every other hand(while still collecting UB points, 10 UB = $1.), with the exception of pairs. EDIT: I'm trying to play it this way, but from time to time, I still play the AK,AQ suited, only to lose the hand to a runner runner who caught his little straight or flush. Most of my AK or AQ hands have been while on my blinds, though.

I was down, a little over $100 on Wednesday (-$121 to be exact), as of today, I'm still down, but not as much. Waiting to orbit one last round, so I can collect my UB points before BB and receive an accurate amount to add on here. Loss, as of today, -$67.

I will be trying to at least break even...once that is done, I'll leave $50 in my account, (in order to continue to try and clear my bonus) and withdraw the rest.

My NEW bonus whoring rule - Play less hands, while still collecting points and play my strongest hands only, in order to profit from them. Fold all the rest, just not worth it.

ReelDeal - I agree with you. This is probably not the correct way to play poker. But when you're on a losing streak, I think it's the only way out. This is how most bonus whores clear their bonus, anyway.
