Doors and Poker Points

Sat with laptop on knee, watching poker balance dwindle as yet more staggeringly unlikely cards hit the river. I started playing at a place called i4 poker (on the B2B network) - and if you want some advice, steer well clear of this site. This is not whining or sour grapes, but I saw 2 players there over 3 nights and they were raising and re-raising on flops without even a draw and hitting runner runner. One did it so many times at the table I was at, he turned 50$ into 436$ in about 45 minutes, almost every hand he played was so far behind, even the fishiest of fish wouldn't have stayed. It all seemed a little dodgy to me, so I emailed the poker site to advise, but to date they have not replied. Maybe it was my current mood, but I thought, if this was a live casino, you'd do something about it. You'd had to have seen it to understand I guess, but it was very
I made sure I never went heads up against him!

Anyway, there was a crashing noise, followed by Mia crying and I flew up the stairs to find the door hanging on by one screw. She had been banging the door against the door stop (I put in earlier in the day to stop the door banging the bed) and this had basically acted as a lever and her repeated banging had prised the screws out of the door frame. Anyway, made it safe and put Mia to bed, then have fixed it properly this afternoon. She was crying at the shock of the door falling, rather than it hitting her.

Closed and emptied my i4 poker account and was debating where to go next, when I recieved an Email from Poker Room, telling me I had 1200 player points. Not sure what I could do with them, I logged on and found I had enough for 2 5$ SNG's (and some left over). OK, this is free poker, so I fire up a 5$ Turbo and after being a clear chip leader when heads up, managed to finish 2nd when my AK fell to his A2 and then my AJ fell to K10 in consecutive hands. So 15$ profit. Fired up another 5$ turbo and tis time got heads up marginally behind. My raise with AJ was call adn we saw a J 7 2 flop. I pushed, he called and turned over K 10 (????, I thought) but sure enough, the K hit the river and I came 2nd, but at least another 15$ profit.

So this has got me thinking, how many points have I ignored over the last 2 years? CD POker has over 9,000, Titan has over 4,000 and I haven't looked at any other sites. These 2 sites only offer satellites to tournies for points, rather than cash prizes, but I'm going to try a few and see how far I get.

Anyway, no more money is leaving my online account for the foreseeable future, untill all these points have gone, and I can be sure this run I'm currently in, is over.

Good luck all.
