Hate cash games but...

**John** · 08-27-2005, 02:28 PM

I had all these pending bonus dollars on UB and figured I should at least try to earn some of them and get some practice in the process. So I spent about 2 hours in the .25/.50 Hold'em, buying in with 17 bucks. At first, I went down to as low as 8 bucks, just getting killed by flushes, straights, that I couldnt chase away b/c of the limited betting structure. Eventually, I adjusted my game and started tightening up. I grinded my way back to even with just average or mediocre starting cards at the end of the first hour. The trend continued for 30 mins, and I was up to about 8 dollars ahead. I had some lunch plans, and was ready to quit, when I was dealt AA. It held up and came away with about 3 bucks more. So I opted to sit until the blinds came around, only playing if the top 5 hands were dealt. Naturally, when I reach the SB, I get dealt JJ. They too hold and I elect to sit through another round of blinds. Now on the BB, I get AK, which eventually loses to a set of 9s, but I laid them down with minimal damage. Around the table it goes, lastly back to the dealer button, dealt QQ. Again they hold, and on to the BB. KK!!!

Anyway, I finally signed off even though the rush was huge, and ended up with 23 bucks more than I started, including the UB bonus dollars. Just thought I'd share
