"It just cannot be RIGHT!"

As I have posted in the past I am obsessed with Check N Raise Poker and getting my bonuses. My friend Mr. T informed me that he has been having luck on the NL $.05/$.10 tables and slowly working off his check points. Well I have been giving it a try and "It just cannot be right!"

I am beginning to think that there is a problem with their algorithm or I am simply destined to lose my entire bankroll at their site. Here are two examples:

I do not recall my position, but I have pocket 9s and I came in with a modest raise of $.30 (blinds are $.05/.10). I had two callers I believe. I flopped a set with 9Q6 rainbow. I bet $.60. I get one caller. I think the turn was a duece. I am pot committed at this point so I go all-in. The guy calls me and turns over 78o. You guessed it a ten comes on the river. There goes $4 more of my dwindling stack.

I quit playing only to be lured back in by the obsession a little while later. I pull out $4 more. I am in the BB with A40. The flop comes A4. I go all-in. Yes I get one caller, who again hits a straight on the river.

Man it just cannot be right!

Just thought I would blog a short blast. I am currenly playing $.25/.50 at Paradise. I can not get a starting hand to save my life.

Christmas Eve we did make it to midnight Mass. Our 5 year old then stayed up until 3:30 AM. At least Santa got to play some poker until he fell asleep. Santa finally got to bed around 4:45 AM. Christmas was good, but at some point the commercialism needs to come to a halt. It is not time to rant about that however.

Hopefully I will post again before 2005, but if not CHEERS!

Play on!
