Nothing hurts worse than sitting at a wonderful table watching everyone else clean up on the 2 or 3 suckers, and either you're getting no cards or when you do get 'em they're drowning in the river to 4's full of deuces.
I've hit a brick wall on my quest to go from $100 to $1000 at Titan for kicks and giggles. Stuck hard between $700 and $800. That while there has been a dreamy $2/$4 table going for a couple of nights this week.
On the bright side, I'm generating lots of rake for Titan, and moved up to "Silver" status this month and am just a couple thousand from Gold. What does that mean? Pretty much nothing... except my bonus only takes 500 hands for $10 instead of 1000 on average. Whoever is running the titan bonus promo is brain dead. I know lots... I mean lots, of low and middle limit players who would play there if the bonus was just a tad bit easier to clear, and having looked at many an affiliate report and statistics, I know that they could be a bit gentler on the bonus release and still make money.
If the suckers stay though, I suppose I'll stay. Nothing like playing against folks who raise you on the river with their straight when you've got 4 suited cards on your porch and have been betting since 4th street. ;]
