Almost a week ago I was sent an offer from PartyPoker. It was pretty basic, $20 bucks, as long as you earn 160 points in a week. Once I did all the calculations I figured that it would take about 2500 hands to earn that.
I had been trying to get the new PartyPoker client installed on my laptop (a Vista box) without much luck for almost two weeks. Once I tried installing it on my XP machine, it worked the first time. I did some basic hacking and finally got the client installed on my laptop as well.
I really liked the look of the new client and decided to try to fulfill the bonus. I figured that this was my chance to set-mine a bunch of micro-limit cash games. The final decision was how many tables. It was time for me to try a 9-table experiment. I would buy in for 50 BB on nine tables and just wait out some big hands.
After half a week, and approximatly 2500 hands, the results are as follows:
Starting Bankroll ($20)
Ending Bankroll ($61)
Overall Profit ($41)
41 BB/100 hands
This was basically broken into three different sessions. I really have to admit that I enjoyed the new client quite a bit. It's much cleaner and awesome for multi-tabling. It isn't as stable as other clients when on wireless networks but at home I didn't run into many connection issues.
I think I'm going to continue multi-tabling this way until the end of the year to see how my results are affected. My main adjustment is not to over commit with QQ and AK pre-flop.
The final word for this post: "Thanks Party Poker."
