Poker update

I haven't played much the past week or so. I played at William Hill for the 5hr bonus and ended up around $160 which includes the $50 bonus.
I also played in the $4000 (600MPP) tournament on Saturday at William Hill. I played pretty good. I was the chip leader after the first break. Cards went cold after the break and players quickly caught up. I lost a couple of coin flips later on in the tournament and ended up finishing 10/428 for $60. I was happy with my play but I am still looking for my first big MTT win.

Bowmans NHL Contest

I won the weekly NHL contest at Bowmans this past week. There were five of us who picked 10/10, so the $800 CDN weekly prize is split between us for $160 each.

I've been playing the weekly contest ever since my account at BetWWTS was transfered to Bowmans. The closest I’ve been so far is 7/10 and the winner usually has 9 or 10 out of 10 correct. I think there are still 10 weeks to go in this contest.

Free $ challenges

I received some free $ in a couple of my accounts this week. So I've set up a few little challenges for myself.

Pacific Poker gave me $10 for some survey I did a while back. My challenge is to get this to $100, so far I'm at about $40. There are some really bad players on there.

Eurolinx called me to say that I had $ in my account (not sure how as I haven't played their in months and withdrew all my $). They are now on Microgaming, and after I upgraded their site, to my surprise I had $22 in my account. I played a few hands (maybe 20 hands) last night and got it to $50. Goal is to get it to $100 as well.

William Hill has skill game challenge freerolls. I'm only playing the BJ tournaments, but they also have Gin rummy & Backgammon. I'm not around during the day for the bigger freerolls (250euro)but they have nightly 20Euro freerolls at 9 & midnight ET. With a max of 64 players they take all of about 15 minutes to play if you make it to the end (pays top 8). I've hit the $ 3 times for a whopping $7+ profit. Goal is to get it to $40 which will give me my $40 match for their monthly casino play.

Other than that I'm just grinding out the Party Poker $100 reload. I'm about have way through the WR and am about even. I would be up $ except for a couple of bad beats. Also played one bad hand against Curatio the other night, where I new I was beat, but couldn't lay my hand down (trips), and made my donation to him...LOL.
