Being disconnected….is…well….massively –EV!! THEY STEAL YOUR BLOODY CHIPS!

I hope you are all well and running better than ever. The last few days I have been the centre of Betfair's Sit and go bounty promotion. The idea is simple, I playa variety of 9 seater STTs ranging from $4 up to $500, every time someone knocks me out, they get a worthwhile bounty (relative to the Buy In).

Clearly the idea is to get more people playing STTs and having fun. Personally, I am enjoying it thus far but, I must say, a few of you are really tilting me!

Having a bounty on my head isn't as fun as I originally thought. People are calling me with 62ss, 79o, K3o etc just for the bounty and in many cases, when taking into consideration the value of the bounty their play is actually quite correct. What does this do to me? Well, it drives me mad. Also, it increases my variance beyond belief which contributes to my early retirement age.

Why would you guys do this to me? Last night, I had an epic session whereby I was disconnected every 20mins or so after accidentally knocking my modem on the floor, when playing super turbo STTs being disconnected....is...well....massively -EV!! THEY STEAL YOUR BLOODY CHIPS!

So I had to resort to playing just $4 to $16 STTs as I couldn't handle being DC in another $500 STT again. Way too annoying and just waste of money. I'm not sure what my starting balance was exactly (MBN) but I have a strange feeling that I lost a few hundred playing these very low limits!! Now, that is funny and tilting! I think challenge wise (ROI % ) I was doing alright, but after last nights debacle I could be placed in a very dark and lonely category.

In summary, I am out in full force tonight boys and girls. With a brand new modem, I suggest you get your bullet proof vests on and strap on those helmets as I'm out to punish this evening.

BETFAIR. 17:00 GMT. TONIGHT. SIT AND GO BOUNTY MADNESS !!!!

Good luck all.
