Abolute Minimum Wage
I played in a Pot Limit (PL) Omaha freeroll at Absolute Poker
last night. Started with 2000 people. I ended up playing for more than 4 hours and took 4th place. What did that pay you ask? 4s are wild, $4. "That's like a dollar an hour" (Napoleon Dynamite).
Yeah, so I played for 4 hours and walked with $4. I was chip leader for a lot of the tournament. Tripled up twice with trips and the nut straight on flop. I was just trying to improve my game a little bit. I want to expand my expertise.
I did make some money playing limit hold 'em though. There was one player who decided to raise everything to the river. Didn't matter what it was. Made about $20 off of him. It may have been the wife ditching all his money so he couldn't play anymore. Who knows?
Anyway, check out Absolute Poker. They have fantastic games and good tournaments. If you want to do low limits, I'd suggest the $2.00+.20 sit 'n gos. I've been killing those right now. Like I said, I'm in college and trying to make a few bucks.
My goal for the year, to get a buy-in to a major WSOP or WPT event. Got $20 in Absolute through an affiliate, and am trying to make it grow without depositing. It's working so far. If it doesn't, I still have that wicked bonus to deposit.
Good Luck,
GUMBY
