Which equals $200 bonus

Mayb we can get to 2500pp and get $400 w firing up the $50s? Not sure

Yeah from what I remember they release it to you in small increments instead of a lump sum at the end. Doug Polk has some stuff on bb defending as well, assuming you dont play poorly postflop and let reverse pot odds hurt you, yes you should basically never fold the bb to 2.25x etc. crush em!

It looks like you did the casino welcome bonus and not the poker welcome bonus when you deposited? Did you select casino welcome bonus?

I was thinking about jumping back in the online game too. (Haven't been for 5 years.) What's the best (not too expensive) HUD to use for mostly cash games?

I’m not much of an online player and don’t play tourneys. What’s general bankroll management rules? I would think 5% of your bankroll per entry? At $1000 would think $50 is ok but if your playing multiple tourneys at once maybe it’s $25, also might need to get some hours in before moving up regardless of bankroll.

Of course. Forgot they raise rakes every year. $340 was a decade ago lol.
I'll play the live $400 T as long as my agoraphobia/anxiety is in check that day. I'm sure I'll have some spots where I'm feeling uncomfortable, but hopefully I can fight through. This is why I like playing cash. I can b gd for a short period of time, but a lengthy T is a different beast. Sometimes it feel like the room is spinning and everything is going a million miles an hour inside of me. It's the worst!
To bink tho, I must overcome. #ThinkBink #WeGambol

$135 of $500 in play today on the FanDuelz.
We do PGA only. Let's try to run up this $500. Got the exact same line up through 8 events...I was never much on diversifying. If I believe in something, why sway from it? I believe in the build I came up w. Now lfg.

Today we watch opening round golf and play the onlinez. Somewhere in between we drain the pool below the returns and put safety cover on.

Let's beast everything.

So what u (or any T specialist) think my bottom bb calling range from a 3x in ep w 30bb effective shd be?
Thanks

Gonna try to pay more attention to it. Haven't noticed yet maybe because the $ amounts cleared have been small. Got around 220 pp now.
I'll see u Columbus in a couple weeks.

K. I noticed once I got to 400 poker points, it seemed $50 got contributed to the acct. I think lol.

Next level is 1,000 pp. shd take a week (if I don’t go bust first) to get $100 bonus.

Got the new xs Max yesterday and been playing sng every chance I get on this phone.

Got a bit tilted after losing a few $50s in a row in the parking lot of Kohl’s. Dove straight into a $200 hu and won. I know, I failed at brm. Gonna try not to do that anymore, but no guarantee.

Coincidentally, we got married in the exact same building.
