Just under two without the bonuses.<\/p>\n<p>Seven: The number of days I&#8217;ve played.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really hard to believe. I don&#8217;t feel like I&#8217;m playing great, winning poker, and my time constraints relegate me to playing only an hour here and there. So a lot of this is just making out like a bandit on two or three hands and folding the rest. So I&#8217;m left to wonder if I&#8217;m just on a good run or if something about Paradise players makes them give it up when I&#8217;ve got the dominant hand. Obviously if it&#8217;s the latter, I should keep playing there. It&#8217;s still too early to say for sure (936 hands&#8211;mostly at 1\/2), but I&#8217;m liking the 9.96BB\/100 hands.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another number:<\/p>\n<p>Thirteen: the number of days before I hit the tables in Fabulous Las Vegas! Hopefully I&#8217;ll keep up this current run and have enough in the bankroll to fund the entire trip. <\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s a question for you Vegas gamboolers out there: you should sit down at a table with 20BB according to <a href=\"http:\/\/loveandcasinowar.com\/blogarch\/000567.php\">Love and Casino War<\/a> (and have an extra 20BB to rebuy if you feel you can beat the table) and your bankroll should have 300BB to play at a particular limit according to <a href=\"http:\/\/cardsspeak.servebeer.com\/archives\/analysis_of_a_cold_rush.html\">The Cards Speak<\/a> (and others as well, but that&#8217;s where I recall first seeing the number). How many big bets should you take with you for a Friday &#8211; Sunday Vegas trip? I think you can safely assume that I&#8217;ll be at the tables at least an average of eight hours a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eighty: Percentage of bonus I&#8217;ve cleared.
