My poker playing volume in 2010 has been woeful. I've had months off here and there, never really got going and suffered from severe bouts of poker lethargy.
I finally got my act together in July with a concerted effort to try and win something and was promptly rewarded with two 2nds in the Betfair 10k within a week for $4k total (just to prove i can still do it when i put my mind to it) plus a few other minor cashes here and there to keep things ticking over.
My regular comps now seem to be a few on Betfair and a few on DTD most nights but this is all set to change today when Betfair merges with the Ongame network. I'm a bit sad really. I quite liked the dinky little betfair nightly comps... well I liked the overlays and a few of the fish to be honest. Not sure what Ongame has to offer but if it's anything like when Hills moved to IPoker it will mean stopping up way past the current requirement of 12-1am for a 1st place finish and I'm getting too old for that shit.
I do like to keep an eye on various promotions that are being offered across the various poker rooms. Every now and then you spot a fantastic opportunity to make a few quid. There have been a few of these in the past. Getting 15 friends to join BF was all that eventually was required to win an entry to a WSOPE side event two years ago. I did very well out of a Hills points race promo last year that no one else seemed to notice as well. I've got my eye on another one at the moment and may well have a stab at it... seems too good to be true on face of it. Don't want to promote it here as it may spoil the opportunity but watch this space.
Finally I feel I must post some form of comment as to the nature of my last post that has prompted a few comments and e-mails. Bingo is the future... plus they paid me shed loads :)
