I'm such a f*ing donator.

You don't even understand the night I just had. I couldn't log off fast enough. Trying to take advantage of Empire's new deposit bonus, and, having to clear 900 raked hands, I began multitabling $25NL.

The session started off well... until QQ was cracked by 94o. Even as I'm writing this, I don't know why he called my $3 preflop raise ...

... Nevertheless, I could NOT win with any premium hands. Aces maybe held up once, and every single time I got KK, an Ace would hit on the flop. My favorite was when the fish w/ A6s called to the river and caught his Ace, counterfieting my KK. (And he wasn't on a flush draw, which would justify his STILL BEING IN THE HAND!!!)

My "4 to the flushes" and "4 to the straights" never caught. I held pocket pairs SO MANY times, and I couldn't hit a set to save my life. Actually, I can't say that... I did hit two sets. But, I lost to two better sets. That was expensive.

How about this one:
KQs, Flop: As4s7s.
I flop the absolute fucking nuts ... until the river ... bringing another 7, and LuckyFish makes his baby boat. Yes, my friend, pocket 4s are a monster. FYI: He pushed on the flop. I gladly called... nothing I can do there.

And that, in a nutshell, was how my night went! I almost always came up just a tad short... thanks to the river or runner runner in most cases. I can't even fathom how many times I re-bought or just changed tables. It was literally a nightmare.

I don't want anyone listening to my faulty advice ever again.

Damn horrible run... yesterday I deposited $600 to take advantage of the whole bonus and have to play 1050 hands. So far Ive played about 300 hands and Im up about $95... if I can just avoid some bad beats this will be a great bonus clearing.

I was the opposite of you last night... all my good hands held up, that always helps. QQ vs AT flop was like Txx and he goes allin for like $6 more and I win like a $15-20 pot. Guess he likes calling raises preflop with ATo.

Also cracked a big pocket pair when he doesnt raise preflop which was nice... had 77 and I just limp in and the flop comes 7 high and then he starts raising and we end up allin and he shows AA... If you didn't play it like it can't lose, you wouldn't of lose lol... that was about a $50 pot.

Hopefully today will be just as good as yesterday...

BTW: I also play the $25 and $50 NL tables... I love that action... get some big pots for micro NL lol.

Ok guys, I have a problem. I tried to download Empire, but when I try to create an account it says something along the lines of I already have Party installed. Can I not have both installed at once? Keep in mind I'm no IT guru, I know there are a few of you out there that can help me out.

OK, I'll add mine.

"Evil" Empire.

KK called 3 bet on flop by Q4 sooooted.

Calls me to river with bottom pair 4 and ............

Yep hits 4 on river with NO other draw on board.

200 hands into my 1050 to clear and up $8. January I got murdered chasing Empires bonus so I'm still holding my breath.

I know what you mean. The troubles I'm having (which is basically one session - lol) were opposite of what happened last bonus. The last bonus I took advantage of was Party's JAN05REL or BONUSJAN, which I crushed.

[Platinum Dave]

what type of bonuses do you get?

do you withdraw the money afterwards?

[GeoffM]

TP, this weekend then. I will be using your linky linky too .
