The Good, The bad, & the ugly

Well not much is good, except I received some rakeback from rakerebate.net in my UB account. This was a whopping $32 but not bad considering I was only playing $0.01/$0.02 and $0.05/$0.1 NL and this was for the month of Februrary.

The bad is I played some MTT's yesterday. The Bluff Poker Tour is starting up, and I would like to get in a little bit of practice time.

An for the ugly I couldnt place in any of the MTT's. I played 1 $11, and 2 or 3 $5.50's. Setting trapsand getting sucked out on was the theme for the evening.

such as was the case in this hand

And now I sit with a crippled bankroll. I am glad that I did limit myself to only playing micro MTT's even though the play is so bad. Its going to be typical of what I face in the BPT.

I transfered my $ out of FTP, and moved it back to UB. The bonus $ clears faster at UB, and doesnt come out of rakeback. I also have more statistics on my competitors at UB.

I signed up at 2 sites that I didnt have accounts at and will need rakeback for. I could only find rakeback at Sun Poker so I signed up through the Bluff link for VIP Poker. If you are going to play the BPT and need rakeback for SUN go thru my link on the right for rakerebate.net. Thanks!

Someone asked me about the discussion thread on 2+2 regarding chris ferguson Here is the link. Although I think some of the posters are way off base in the way they think chris approached it.
