For all you PP players who might not have gotten this email or just plain ignore em but this weekend is the monthly reload bonus. Just got to play 7x your bonus amount in a weeks time to claim the bonus.

From PP email (probably also in their online Newsletter)

"RELOAD NOW
This January, once again we offer you a great Reload Bonus. This time you get a 20% bonus, up to a max of 200 USD. Just enter the Bonus code "BONUSJAN" when you make a deposit between 00:00 AM EST on Friday, 21st of January and midnight on Wednesday, 26th of January 2005. "

Completed 500 of 1400 tonight, will jump back in tomorrow. Basically watching 4 games for pocket pairs or "ace and face" gets me 150 racked games an hour. Playing $25 NL (.25/.50) so the blinds are cheap. Should be done in 6 +/- more hours. But then again that's the usual weekend playing time when I play online anyway for the weekend.

Good luck to all who jump in.

Well a 3 hour session this morning and an 1-1/2 hour session this afternoon and I got my hands in. PP just credited me with $200 to go along with the $160 I won during this bonus weekend.

Best hand this morning was KQ clubs on the dealer button and a flop of JT9 clubs with someone else holding A8 clubs. Wow! Almost peed my pants. 4 people went all in post flop, we only had about $110 amongst all of us so that's what I scooped. The other two were a "nut" straight and someone banking on hitting the FH with 2 pair.

Worst beat was flopping the nut flush and someone hitting their set and going all in and then catching a pair of fours on the turn and river. Poor guy apologized about three times, but wouldn't give the money back when I told him "if you really want to clear your conscience......"

Oh well another successful reload bonus weekend. Now if only the rest of the month's play was as productive.

Imagine that.... 5:1 odds of it happening!

Actually I believe that the odds of making a FH or 4 of a kind with a pair in your hand and a third on the flop is better than 5:1. The prior discussion was with 2 pair.

Yeah, it was two pair making a FH.
