Kicking Back
Have cleared the kickback portion of my bonus at GNUF so a nice easy $100 to the roll for that. Took about 1300 hands of Omaha to clear it the points were not racking up at 6 max fast enough for the limits I am playing. For now I am putting on hold trying to get the full bonus until I move up to the $50 games.
So it looks like in this bonus building phase Onaha is going to be the main game as its much quicker at generating rake. So far am a couple of buy ins down as I get back into the game have made a couple of bad calls where I should know better especially in the full ring games. Am also having to adjust to 6 and 5 max which I have never played at Omaha before, but at the low limits the games seem passive and loose so I suspect full ring post flop is going to be pretty similar. Not sure if at the 6 max games you have to lower the hands you take to showdown ie doesnt always have to be the nuts but will see as I get more hands in.
I am now doing the kickback for Bwin another $100 one but may take a bit longer to clear as the rake there is contribution and obviously at this point I am playing pretty tight. Also having to adjust to 5 max there with two identical blinds although the games do seem to play looser and with bigger pots than GNUF.
I have also just got Empire Total War which is taking up some of my spare time as well, seems ok game at the minute playing the introduction campaign which doesnt seem very varied but hopefully will get into it more once get into the grand campaign.
Once I move my digs next week it should be much more comfortable as I will be able to actually sit down and play at a seat, currently play sat on my bed which isnt ideal or comfortable so hoping to be able to get a load more hands in.
Also rereading the Watchmen comic, havent been to see the film but first read the comic when I was 18 or so and thought it was excellent. Want to reread see if I think its as good and then see the film, seems a lot of people find the film confusing so want to go in with the story fresh in my mind.
Current bankroll $715
