I deposit $100 in my Ladbrokes Casino account. I'm after the $100 welcome bonus. I've printed off my perfect strategy spreadsheet and I have to play 4 x my $100 deposit at a minimum of $10 per hand. I lose my first three hands including one doubled hand and its looking like I might bust out but I hit a nice run including two Blackjacks and a winning double and I'm soon $40 up. I manage one more winning double but have a losing streak on my last few hands to finish up $10 down.
I claim my $100 bonus and assuming I've not messed up on the criteria in some way - they do try and make it tricky I should be $90 to the good for 20 minutes work.
It's off on the footie club Xmas bash tonight sailing on a junk on the high seas to .....
where else but the other side of Lamma. Land Ahoy!

Interpoker
Final Summary
Played a total of 7,308 hands to clear the bonus. Managed a multi-tabling ratio of 2.21 with a true win rate of $6.76 an hour plus bonus.
Averaged a win-rate of 3.44PTBB/100 less than my target of 5PTBB/100.
Fortunately I anticipated cashing out with $422 but managed $611 so won more than my expectation for a site profit of +$511. If I lump the 50NL and GBP25NL tables together I profit at all the bigger stakes game but lost at the lower stakes. I think I'm too inclined to not believe overbets on the lower stakes, play a few more hands and try and move people of hands a bit too much.
The breakdown was as follows.
50NL 378 hands
-15.84PTBB/100
(GBP)25NL 754 hands
+22.64PTBB/100
GBP20NL 3753 hands
+13.53PTBB/100
25NL 929 hands
+10.31BB/100

-5.47PTBB/100
GBP6NL 606 hands

Bankrolls 17/12
Here is the juice. Deadly continues his run of three figure gains and Phillberto chalks up his biggest week yet. Lamma_Jim approaches bankruptcy and makes plans to buy in again and resume his dalliance with the cash game circuit that hasn't welcomed him warmly. We await Moocher and Bigshots figures to complete the festive book-keeping. And in news just Moocher takes another mini-slide while Bigshot busts and awaits his new year reload to step back to the online felt for hopefully a better online 2008.
I may well sign off on this result for the poker playing year although may dabble in the casino and online betting world if I get the opportunity. The Cincinnati Kid Club in Glasgow looks quite tempting for some live action as well.

Super Caley are fantastic, Celtic are atrocious
Looks like I've forgotten to list half my bets. Think I forgot to look at the second page of bets. Anyway a worryingly good start to my festive punting.

Drunken Poker - once more into the fray
After some festive supping it was out with sober logic and clear thinking and time for some high octane stuff.
I sparked up one GBP20NL and a GBP25NL table, waited for the blinds to hit and dropped a line to Moocher who was on the bubble on one of his fave formats a Full Tilt bounty MTT.
I didn't have long to wait for some action as I get pocket Jacks on the Big Blind on my first hand.

Festive Punting - Results
So I didn't find let alone read the terms and conditions so I dropped an email to support requesting T&Cs and it appears my bonus clearance bets have to be 1.4 or higher odds
That means $9.20 of my bets will be accounted for in clearing bonus.....ah well I'm off to a good start with The Big Easy staging a comeback after bogying the first two to come back one under and a long way ahead of Dyson who was well and truly hoovered.
Els v Dyson - S.African Open - $2.50 (1.54) = +1.35
Fiorentina v Mlada Boleslav - $2.50 (1.20)
AZ Alkmaar v Everton $1.50 (4.25)
Real Madrid v Osasuna $2.50 (1.3)
St Mirren v Dundee U $2.50 (1.36)
Kilmarnock v Gretna $2.50 (1.12)
Inverness CT v Celtic $1.00 (7.0)
Hibs v Falkirk $1.70 (5.1)
Liverpool v Man U $2.50 (2.7)
Rangers v Hearts $4.40 (1.38)

Festive Punting
I've signed up for Unibet who offer a GBP20 welcome bonus. So I deposited $50 and the gave me $41 free. i now have to bet $82 in order to cash out with my loot.
I predict using my random selection policy and Bookies usual edge Ill be looking to leave with around half my bonus intact.
I've kicked off the clearance requirement with the following selection:
Els v Dyson - S.African Open - $2.50 (1.54)
Fiorentina v Mlada Boleslav - $2.50 (1.20)
AZ Alkmaar v Everton $1.50 (4.25)
Real Madrid v Osasuna $2.50 (1.3)
St Mirren v Dundee U $2.50 (1.36)
Kilmarnock v Gretna $2.50 (1.12)
Inverness CT v Celtic $1.00 (7.0)
Hibs v Falkirk $1.70 (5.1)
Liverpool v Man U $2.50 (2.7)
Rangers v Hearts $4.40 (1.38)
Total staked $31.10
I need to win $15.55 to be on track to cash out as break even. Anything else is money in the poker bankroll. Yeah, baby! Who said this was just (even?) a poker site. See the nit does have some gamble in him!
The online bookies are mostly banned in HK but this one seems to work. Most of the sites seem to offer welcome bonus of about $40. The fast way to clear them as an example as an example is to open up three accounts. You have to bet $80 to earn your bonus so you deposit $80 in each of three accounts. You then bet Liverpool to win on Sunday, Man U to win on Sunday and the draw on each of the three accounts.
Liverpool win: Site 1: Cash Out $192 Site 2: Cash Out $40 Site 3: Cash out $40
Result: +US$32
Man U win: Site 1: Cash out $40 Site 2: Cash Out $216 Site 3: Cash Out $40
Result: +US$56
Draw: Site 1: Cash Out $40 Site 2: Cash Out $40 Cash Out: $252
+US$92
Not bad going for 20 minutes work in setting up accounts that you will never use again. As I'm new to it I still want to have a little punt as long as its a +ev situation for me.

Bigshot's new Site
According to the site I use to assess where I'm playing Poker Stars for 6 max 25NL and 50NL games has the toughest games around at the moment. It seems to be a site to avoid at the moment at those levels.
Assuming you are moving away from tournaments (and planning to play 6 max - where the real action is) there are a few things to take into account.
1) Quality of Games -
The softest currently are:
Poker4Ever
Pacific Poker
Ongame (5 skins including Poker Room and Hollywood)
Deadly mentioned Full Tilt which plays average at 25NL and slightly below average at 50NL (eg quite good players). William Hill is part of the Cryptologic Network and is tough at the moment for 25NL and average for 100NL. It's also where I'm playing at the moment and although I'm winning its at a lower rate than normal.
2) Rakeback and Bonus - my preference is to keep moving and to earn whatever the best bonus around is. You may want to consider signing up for a Rakeback deal. I've not really examined this in too much detail but if you are planning to play at one site for a long time this might be for you. For bonii at the moment all of the above are pretty easy to earn $100. Alternatively you could also sign up via Internet Texas Holdem and get Poker Tracker for free which is very useful for improving your play. I'd estimate I earn about $6 an hour from play and around $3 from bonus at the moment.
As an example for Poker Room you need to pay $100 in month in rake to be eligible for rakeback of 30%.
3) Availability. This is not really an issue at most sites if you are looking to play 25NL and 50NL. The traffic at Poker4Ever can be poor at certain times but for single tabling I seriously doubt you would ever be without an instant game at any of these sites.
4) Software. Each sites has its quirks and nice features. The only factor I really take into account is multi-tabling ease. Its very difficult at Poker4 Ever. Another factor is whether it supports Poker Tracker or not. If you aren't planning to use it then you really want to play at a site where it doesn't function so you are competing on equal terms. Poker4Ever is one such site that doesn't.
If you want a combination of Tournaments and cash play then it gets more complex.
I'll try and hone this down to a recommendation when I see you next.

Casino Bonii
Just had a look at a Casino Bonus Whoring site and there seem to be a few tasty ones around.
From this site these four sites: Ladbrokes, Golden Palace, Bet365 and 888.com pay a total of $800 in bonus.
Assuming I play Blackjack using basic strategy at $5 a hand ($20 at Ladbrokes) I can clear $800 worth of bonus in 9 hours. As the house has a small edge playing perfect blackjack strategy I would expect to cash out $732 of this as profit with average luck. That works out at over $81/hour.
In reality I would guess I'd be playing at about half the pace they predict and probably messing up basic strategy to double the casinos house edge. That would make a profit of $664 in 18 hours still working out at almost $37 and hour.
As I'm on holiday I greatly doubt I'll be allowed 18 hours 'spare' but I'll see if I can squeeze in one or two and I'm researching if I can play any of them in Hong Kong.
Has anyone tried the Ladbrokes Deal or No Deal thing yet. I reckon you can earn +$30 in less than 15 minutes. Just make sure they have put the bonus in your account before you start playing. I didn't and ended up losing money before I started clearing the bonus.

Would you like sauce with that?
I've picked my new poker site to kick-off 2008. Hugh Hefner may not actually take much note but I will be shipping him some rake thoughout January and February in return for a $200 welcome bonus. I also plan to sign up through Internet Texas Holdem and can expect two free books in addition. I will be wearing a fluffy bunny girl tail and suspenders for the duration of my online career there.
I'm planning on 'Inside the Poker mind' and 'Professional No Limit Hold'em' as my tomes of choice.
I anticipate it should take me around 58 hours of multi-table play for the bonus so expect to clear it by 25th February. With an initial deposit of $200 I'm targeting a cash-out figure of $1000. Based on last years calculation method I would be looking at 8 full weeks to clear this and aiming at a cash-out figure of $752. Not counting bonus that's now a true hourly rate of $10.34/hour as opposed to $6/hour. Quite a jump.
I need to do this for my ambitious 10K by the close of 2008 bankroll target, if I set the year up into four Quarters I'm looking for the following gains:
Quarter 1: +$1,250
Quarter 2: +$1,500
Quarter 3: +1,700
Quarter 4 +1,800
Given week 1 is going to be a write-off and February is a short month I have just six weeks of play in Jan/Feb so need +100 for Weeks 2-6 with the Week 7 including the bonus and being +300.
So....
January Target: +$300
February Target: +$500
March Target: +$450
Can I hear a 'geek' from the floor please....

Hands that don't do dishes
Logged on for another session last night and squeezed in just over an hour. I was looking for 40NL or 50NL but went with table selection and opted for the 20NL tables where the pots were bigger and more people seeing the flop. I decided to play two GBP10NL and one GBP25NL tables. All big hands of the night below.

Bet the Pot schmuck
I posted two of the hands posted yesterday on Bet the Pot Forum and got some advice from the (semi) pros. First hand posted was my trips facing a reraise allin on the river with flush and straight possibilities. They decided that as played it was a call but that I misplayed the hand by not betting enough on the flop and turn which I already knew. The second hand I posted was my pocket Kings hand and the consensus was I played it well.
The end result was $140 up so can't complain with the results. No poker yesterday as I attended a function at the Hyatt but Bigshot spent the day playing at home and dropped $100 getting felted thrice-fold.........don't give up the day job Bigshot!

All quiet on the Poker Front
I've taken the foot of the pedal this week. Played one ultra brief session at lunch time. Saw a 50NL table with ultra big pots and all playing with big stacks. I presumed they were raising and reraising light and bought in for just 10 bucks with a view to playing short stack strategy. Pushed with KQs against button raise and got stacked by JJ. Lost another one with AK against AQ. Playing a simultanous 20NL table I managed to get stacked with KK after raising OOP to 15% of my stack. A dry flop and turn and I get stacked by trip 9's.
My bad fortune continued on my one other session on Friday night. My queens lose to a medium stack when I call a reraise and then have to call his allin on a non-scary flop. My losses are now running at around $90 and I stage a comeback making one very scary call against a loose aggressive player with A8 on a A862 (rainbow) board and a Queen hits on the river. He bets just over pot and he is representing the Queen having helped him to probably two pair. I make what I think might be a crying call but he shows down a missed straight draw.
I then double up with 88 in a multiway raised pot that hits trips on an aggressive table and get put allin on the turn when a second 6 hits on the turn giving me a full house. I go back ahead for a brief while. Holding a double stack at an aggressive table I have AKo on the button and raise $2. I'm reraised to $8 from the small blind and BB folds. I really should reraise here but wimp out and just call. A low flop and I can't call his 3/4 size pot bet. I recognise playing with $100 has affected my normal game and cash out. I strike up Poker4Ever and play for about 15mins. In that time I lose $10 three times in a row when I can't go beyond the turn with a missed draw or mediocre hand and facing aggression.
Things may be winding down for 2007 on the poker front but I'll try and make amends for a losing week.
The only good news is I'm playing 50NL on a regular basis (although not particularly well it seems).
Elsewhere Deadly continues with killer consistancy but is kicked off his regular haunt of Cardoza and spies William Hill as a possible replacement.
Moocher visits the ATM again as he reloads for another $200 and signs up at Full Tilt enjoying the $3.30 tournaments there. $2.50 goes into the winning pot while 0.50c serves as your 'Bounty'. Every player you take down you keep your bounty. On his way to a 5th place finish he managed to take down 8 bounties giving him a boost to his newly replinished bankroll.
Bigshot declares himself a convert to the Cash is King school of though and racks up a winning week. He admits to being prone to racking up early wins and letting them slide as his opening requirements open up.
With Moocher's rebuy we have a rematch of the battle for third place in the roll stakes with Moocher holding a slight lead.
Radio silence from Lamma_Jim but we have heard reports of Singapore being a venue for some online Poker hustle from a five star hotel room.

Live in Lamma
I missed this one myself as I scooted off to Clearwater Bay Country club for a wedding. Seems no shortage of action though with three allins in the first couple of rounds of the table. A little bit of Dutch courage for Mr Spicer and two debutants adding to the action it seemed like I missed out on some action.

Feel free to post any hands of note for posterity. Sounds like there were a good few feltings!
