Grubby at PokerWorks

On Saturday I played a whopping 1688.80 points on Full Tilt, double that of my Friday. That’s an insane amount, and indicates either cold rainy days or no life or both.

Iron Man status kicks in at 200 points, and I went over by 8x. They should have a Super Iron Man that awards an extra day at 1000 points. The infuriating thing about the program is if you miss a couple days, you could instantly be out of the running for the Iron Man freeroll.

Other sites I’m on still have bonuses to work off, and I may move over because without rakeback or a bonus, I feel I’m earning points for nothing. Though if I kept up that pace, I could trade in 400,000 points for a 50″ plasma TV by the end of the year.

Every time I think about switching, they come up with a brand new promotion that sucks me back in.

This one’s called Daily Double, two back-to-back $10+2 tournaments, each with guaranteed $5000 prize pools. (Click the Full Tilt link on the left to check it out.)

Daily Double A is every night at 9 p.m. ET.
Daily Double B is every night at 9:02 p.m. ET.

What’s different about this is that there’s an additional $10,000 jackpot for players who do well in both Daily Doubles:

• If you cash in both, you share 3 percent of the jackpot.
• The best placement in both shares 2 percent.
• If you reach the final table in both, you share 20 percent.
• And if you win both, you receive 75 percent.

The extra $1 juice seeds the next day’s jackpot.

As of today, the jackpot is now up to $13,080.22.

The promotion began Friday with 1208 people in Daily Double A and 1027 people in Daily Double B.

Saturday had 1034 people in A, 898 in B.

Not sure what the 15 percent dropoff in players from A to B means, but I’d expect both numbers to go up, as well as B increasing once Full Tilt starts advertising the promotion.

I haven’t done well so far, not cashing in any of the quartet. But at $20+4, that won’t keep me from playing both every night.
