BET365 Bonus

Today I finally received my sign up bonus from BET365 for a cool $100 so I started on my 500 raked hands at 1/2 for the December bonus. To say it started out rough would be an understatement. I bought in for $50 on two tables and before I knew it I was down about $50. I got extremely tight just trying to clear the hands. I eventually finished down $75 which was a big hit to the old bankroll.

Unfortunately I still have about 300 hands to go to clear the bonus so I bought in for $40 on three tables. Again I was down early when my K high flush lost to an A high flush (four spades on the board). After that though I went on a pretty good run. I was playing well and the cards were falling nicely. Thankfully I almost made all of my previous loss back.

I also played some $5 sng's on party that morning placing in 3/4. These sng's seem to be pretty easy to place in. Three words sum up my strategy: patience, patience, patience. Poker doesn't really begin until you get down to about four people because the structure and the players don't really allow for it. 800 in starting chips doesn't give a lot of wiggle room and the players call down with anything. Why can't the BB ever fold his hand to a raise??? So for me I simply wait for quality hands and push with them. You get paid off almost every time. Then when you get down to 4 handed you can begin to push your weight around a little because everyone wants to make the $$$$$$$$$$. It's a simple strategy but it paid me about $40 today.
