Tracking My Winnings and Multi-Poker

I have a major major problems with keeping track of my poker sessions. Did I win 20BB yesterday? Or was it 4? I don’t have PT or PTO though I probably should pony up the money and get one. I tried Spy-Poker for a while and did not like it. It is more of a “PT for dummies” than anything else. A friend of mine didn’t like PT because it was too complicated for him to read/understand.

So….First order of business tonight will be to download the trial version of PTO and PT. Usually when I am trying to finish up a bonus I would have 4 tables running (2 – texas and 2 LO8). So basically with the tracker running too, I’ll have 7 “programs” running. I’m afraid my computer will explode if I do this.

Currently, I’m at Multi-Poker as “Frederick Mob”. I couldn’t think of an alias for this site. Bird suggested some retarded names like MaxieSquat, SuperSquaty, and SquatNPoop. Finally I liked his Frederick Mob suggestion. Of all the “party skins”, Multi wins it hands down the best interface. I love the graphics and plus there are no “robot” looking figures too. Anyway, I’m at Multi to clear the sign-up bonus. The best sign up bonus code so far is HOTBONUS100. This is the “20% 5x” code. The other codes you might have heard about are 7x or worse. I didn’t deposit the whole $500. But $380 instead so I’m working to get the $76 released. Right now, I’ve done 205 hands so I have 175 more to go. I’m down $3 or so into the bonus. Major suckouts at the .50/$1 tables. Every once in awhile, my AA, KK, QQ, and AK will stand up. Yesterday, my set of 8s loses to pocket Aces with an A hitting the turn. I knew he had trips so I didn’t get into a raising match with him. That play alone probably saved me about $8 right there.

Sometimes when you don’t hit the flop you still have to play as if you have a premium pocket pairs. See Below:

Looking back at my play, if I had checked the flop or turn and one of the other two players bet into me. I might have folded. However, by being first to act, I’m showing strength here even though I only have an Ace high with a King kicker.


Multi-Poker is also having a reload going until the 10th of October. This is the monster one that everyone is talking about. Your choice:

2000 hands for $100
4000 hands for $200
6000 hands for $300
8000 hands for $400
10K hands for $500

The problem here is that you will have 20 days to clear it. Think about it, if I want to tackle the $500 bonus, I have to average 500 hands A DAY for the next 20 days to clear it. That’s about 5 hours a day (4 tabling). That’s simply too much especially when I have a full time job. However, since I will be “off” from work for 2 weeks. I might be able to do one of them. I’m thinking about the $300 bonus (6K hands). That’s gonna take me about 58 hours of online poker. Spread that out for 20 days which averages almost 3 hours a day. I figure I can get 8-10 of those hours during the day when the wife is at work and son is at day care/preschool. So that just leaves 48 hours to do in 20 days. Certainly do-able. However, Party and Empire should have a reload coming up this week and next week. That’s $100 bonus each right there. Plus the $100 IGMPAY bonus for Multi. That’s only 2200 hands for $300 bucks. Certainly more attractive than the 6000 on huh? However, if there is no reload going on this coming weekend from Party or Empire then I’m gonna tackle Multi’s $300 reload. If I’m VERY LUCKY with the timing of the bonuses, I might be able to get 4 of them done this month for a cool $600 in bonuses. Certainly is nice especially when I’m heading for Atlantic City in November.
