Valuable reminder/Waste of time

[2Tone]

It’s a good point about the cost chasing free money.

So this weekend I took advantage of the Party reload I’d been waiting for. The terms were that I had to clear nearly 200 hands before next week, and I’ll be out of town for the holiday. So I multitabled at 50/1, just to see as many hands as I could. Well, you can guess what happened. Sometimes I played too loose, and when I didn’t I got sucked out on. I came very close to losing more than my bonus was worth before I jumped back up to 2/4 and won some hands to get back to even. After finally clearing it, my take for the night was up $8, including bonus. Had I stuck to solid play at 2/4, I would have hopefully done much better.

This is not to say I’ll give up bonus whoring or chasing free money, both of which I love. But I do need to be aware of the opportunity cost as well.
