Brief Update
I played in the PSO League Tourney #5 tonight, and finished 9th out of 112. It's amazing how far you can get with just a little bit of luck and nothing else. All night long, I had pretty crappy starting hands. I only had 3 premium hands, AKo once, KK once, and JJ once, all of which won only small pots. I flopped trips once, but all the other flops I saw didn't hit me with anything better than top pair, and I only managed to accumulate chips by getting lucky with some mediocre hands.
JTo - in SB, I called a min raise from the button, who had KK, I flopped trips and managed to stack him.
98s - had to push with this when I was down to only 2.5BB, got called by K2s, flop paired his 2, but I managed to river a straight.
56s - flop came up Q87, I pushed with the OESD, and got called by AA and 87s, turn was a 4 to make my straight.
K9s - all-in preflop, got called by KQo, I managed to make 2-pair on the river.
And that was the extent of my hands. A couple other times I was all-in preflop with a slight lead, and managed to survive. My last hand I was the short-stack at the final table, had to push with A8o, and was called by AJo. Now if only I can have both good luck and good cards for the next tourney, then I might have a decent chance at taking first place.
I did a CasinoRewards reload, 100% up to $150, played it like a sticky and busted out for a loss of $150. Did the Bet365 Casino bonus (#5 on Actyper's Top 10 Casinos), and finished with a profit of $164. Played a bit of poker on Party (which, BTW, feels like a ghost town now after banning all US players), and made $9.
I've removed eCasinoDeals from my Recommended Poker Links. DO NOT sign up for any promos there. That affiliate is a complete joke. Customers there have not received their points or their orders for 3 to 6 months, now. I myself have about $120 in points there which I may never be able to cash in. Supposedly, the owner is having some personal issues, but no one really knows what the heck is going on 'cause he doesn't even have the decency to post an update :(

For shits and giggles I browse the forums over at ECD. I can't understand how much lack of service that Tom guy is providing. He seems to be a cheapass duchebag who just doesnt care. I did 2 casino promos and won that freeroll from him, and actually got the goods in a respectable time, but I guess his greediness of not hiring staff killed the company.
One casino that isn't on that list is Yukon Gold, which is a must do risk free, if you haven't tried it yet. GL!
Yeah, ECD was pretty decent at one time. Not the high level of service we've seen from PSO and PokerSavvy, but reasonable. It has gone downhill rapidly, though, these past six months or so. I've done three promos, two of which I probably won't get paid for. My first one, however, I got a really nice 300 pc Tiki Kings ceramic chipset, which is set up for cash games, so at least I got something.
I've already done Yukon Gold, but my luck there hasn't been good. Busted out of their risk-free offer, and also just did the CasinoRewards reload there and busted out again :(
Nice job on the league final table!
