Killing the Quest

...before it kills me. 

Two sessions since my last post, and I got slaughtered on both.  I absolutely can't play my best poker when the beats are this relentless.  I don't know that an official announcement is necessary for me to stop pursuing a sideshow quest like this, but I made a big enough deal about starting it, so it seemed that some type of formal statement announcing its discontinuation is in order.

I think for the rest of the month I will concentrate on finishing up a few Cryptos and maybe grind away at Absolute Poker for a while.  I am still enamored with their new VIP program.  I would really like to earn that laptop in a few months.  I think it is possible, I just need to have the cards land in a more normal distribution for me before I can spend any serious time at the tables.  I refuse to play poker when I know I am not playing my best.

I have decided I would like to stake some new players at Absolute Poker.  I think the sign up and continuous reload bonuses there are a great deal for new players, and this VIP program is another added benefit for anyone who is planning to play there consistently for several months.  If you are a new player, or new to Absolute Poker, contact me at BullsBetting, and we can discuss the options available based on your particular situation.

I think it is interesting that you would want to stake a new player at Absolute. It seems to me that there would be better sites for a new player to start for a couple of reasons. First, the amount of bankroll one would need to play the levels at which the bonuses clear decently. Also, I have heard that the play there is better than at most sites.
Unless you are getting something big in return as an affiliate for the signup, it would seem risky.
Enlighten me.

I am assuming a new player would begin playing at limits below the "prime" bonus chasing territory at Absolute. Those tables are quite soft - view flop percentages running > 50% on a regular basis.
Absolute has been and continues to be my single most profitable site as a player. There is definitely a region where the play is very tight, but decent tables can be found with pretty good regularity, especially for anyone interested in playing other than full ring limit.

I take it you are not interested in a stake for yourself. ; )
