First place in one of those gives you a seat and then all you have to is unregister and now you have 215 bucks. They also have 4 person 2 table HU Sunday Million SNG's for like 3 or 4k FPPS. You will find the players in these FPP tournaments usally suck pretty bad.
I still haven't spent any... I may buy the £250 ($500) Amazon gift voucher if I can find someone to sell it on to. At 30k FPPs that's way better value than the $650 bonus.

Bankitdrew, you're right of course. I think that was part of the problem in January, I worked too hard getting the hands in even when I was tilting. So I'm down to 12 tables with a new HUD set-up which means I get way more info. I think I was playing an ok style but not adjusting enough.

Anyway, here's a fun hand vs. our very own Rondavu
