Still playing the $50 NL tables and finding myself up, down, up, down on a zigzag that thankfully trends upward. But even though I&#8217;m on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pokersourceonline.com\/pso.asp?rc=glyphic\">PSO rake rebate program<\/a>, sometimes I get to feeling a little directionless in my play when I&#8217;m not clearing a bonus. I&#8217;ve been reading around about all these guys jumping on the Omaha 8, Razz, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fulltiltpoker.com\/?aff=407&#038;code=\">Full Tilt<\/a> bandwagons&#8211;you know who you are. So I guess I&#8217;ll sign myself up at Full Tilt and start going about clearing that gargantuan bonus. By my estimates, it&#8217;ll take me about 80 days to clear it all. Ew.<\/p>\n<p>This Sunday you&#8217;ll find me at the Aladdin poker room clearing another kind of bonus: a poker room rate. In exchange for committing myself to 6 hours of poker (really? that&#8217;s all?), I get a room that&#8217;s more than half off the going NASCAR-March Madness rate, and I suppose that&#8217;s a good thing. The Vegas detour will come on the heels of spending a couple days in Death Valley with my mom. She&#8217;s taken up photography as a hobby and wants to snap some pictures of the crazy wildflower boom that&#8217;s resulted from all this rain we&#8217;ve been getting. Me, I haven&#8217;t been to Death Valley in years and years, so I figure the beginning of Spring Break is a good time to get out of the house, out of doors, and maybe catch some no limit action (and maybe show my mom that poker isn&#8217;t the nasty gambling habit she imagines it to be). Can&#8217;t wait. Maybe I&#8217;m wrong about this, but I&#8217;m guessing NASCAR fans will be about as good at cards as those cowboys from the first WPBT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not much to report in my corner of the Blogosphere.
