Bah humbug! I two tabled InterPoker for about 2.5 hours last night in hopes of getting the Hilton Sisters. They were worth $10 a pop (claim it with the bonus code “TURTLEDOVES”) no matter the outcome of the hand, and I could have used it. I hardly got any cards all night. Due the fact that I wasn’t playing anything, the two times I got the rockets and raised, everybody folded back to me and I’d pick up $1.50 for my troubles. Nice. I did clear my December bonus and am now into Monday’s bonus, so at least I’ve got that going for me.
As soon as I sat down at table #1 I noticed I was directly to the right of 2+2′er and fellow poker blogger IggyWH. OK, maybe two of us at a table is ok. Next thing I know the person to the right of him asks (in the special secret 2+2 code words) if I was the chrisdhal from there. Oh joy. We’ve got the left side of the table taken up by other 2+2′ers. While this is not always bad, especially because the general concensus is that 2+2′ers tend to be fairly weak/tight, the problem is that in general they’re better than average. Oh well, I’ve got bonus to clear and there’s the hope of the Hiltons to keep me going.
Right…
I got them exactly zero times. To top it all off I was down 5BB on one table and 7BB on the other. Woo hoo. What a night.
I’m not going to be playing tonight or tomorrow. The promos aren’t ones that interest me and more importantly I have a major paper to write for class. I think I can hammer out most of it over the next couple of days and then I’ll have a couple of weeks to concentrate on poker.
Hey, email me the 2+2 secret handshake when you get a chance. I remember seeing some talk about it a while back but I had never run into any of “us” at that point. Since then I’ve been at at least a dozen tables with guys I think were 2+2 but I didn’t want to out them with a “hey, you a 2+2 guy?”.
Ok thats it! Guess I have to go chase the Interpoker bonus so I can play with you guts too
Be there for KK night !
2+2′ers weak-tight?
The ones I know, I’d classify as tight-aggressive.
Some Dude: Yes, I would say the majority of 2+2′ers are weak tight. This has been changing lately with the advent of SSH, and there are always exceptions to the rule, ie. the guys who are making a ton of money are TAGs, but the majority of people aren’t making a ton of money (despite what they say).
4Flush: Yes, I’ll be there on Friday
I might leave my money in Interpoker for one more week to chase the cowboys.
