I opened up my email this evening and found that I had one from Full Tilt offering me the largest bonus I've ever been given. I mean, I usually see 25 or 50. This time: Five hundo.
My initial reaction was "huh?"
Second reaction was ... "um, WTF?"
Upon further reflection I do kinda wonder if the sites are experiencing/anticipating an outflow of cash with the June 1 UIGEA implementation date. Offering bonuses is certainly one way to keep people playing.
I mean it's not possible that the bonus was triggered by me coming back for one day after taking a couple months off due to the doomswitch, right?
Right?
As for the bonus itself, I'm undecided as to what to do about it. I have 30 days to clear it from the day I opt in. I would need to average around 300 points per day.
To accumulate that kind of pointage in a reasonable amount of time each day, that means playing Rush 100.
I am not rolled for Rush 100. I am not close to adequately rolled for Rush 100.
I could play longer and play mostly Rush 50.
Honestly, I'm not even rolled to handle any kind of downswing at Rush 50.
Sigh.
The points come very slowly at Rush 25.
I see shot taking coming up.
Depositing is not an option. The funds are not available.
If I traded out everything I could find elsewhere online I'd still be pretty under rolled for Rush 100.
I guess I'll think about it and wait a day or two before opting in. I think I could devote the time to clearing it - even though I shouldn't - and unless I come up with a better idea I'll probably just clear as much as I can playing conservatively.
Now that I think about it, if I play in June, I can probably tack on a pretty good size Iron Man bonus for playing so much Jan-Mar.
So if I play, who will show up: Will it be the player who tripled his roll playing the cash games or the player who pissed away all those gains plus some once the doomswitch kicked in?
Expect futureprayers whining in this space about why can't I just be a break-even player. Break-even over the next two months would be all sorts of win.
