Grinding ... Zzzzzz

Well, I'm grinding away.
The good thing I like about online poker is fact that I can log on, play a few orbits and leave. I get bored easily when I play longer sessions, so I think that my "freshness" is definitely helping sustain a higher winrate. I also like that I have many options at my disposal. NL, L, 6-Max, SnGs, MTTs, etc. With so much variety / game selection around the clock, there shouldn't be a reason you find yourself yawning in front of the computer.
I took advantage of Empire's reload, PLAYAUG for $100. Easy money, especially considering the soft micro-NL tables. I was able to clear the bonus with a profit. I finally created an Ultimate Bet account, so that's where I took my money next. $200 deposit bonus, but I'm more excited about getting 26% rakeback.
Once I got over $300, I switched to 6-max limit. I'm falling in love with this game. Right now, I'm playing $1/2, grinding my way up to $1200 , but I occassionally find myself in a good $2/4 game. I can say that 6-max variance is a mutha. Swings of 20 BBs seems common!? Damn. Something tells me that I'll need 400 BBs to take on $2/4. Time will tell.
Sometimes, you just gotta gamble.
Speaking of which, I gambled at chess this week.
Lightfungus
(from the
TP forums
) and I faced off on Yahoo. The first game was for $20. The second for $10. Luckily enough, I won both, and he was honest enough to pay up! Maybe I'll give you odds on the next game, light! (My "Chess$30" has grown to $141 on Stars!)
