mad mad mad

while planning to play in the mobs tourny tonight i knew i had to win some money (20 cents) to pay for the entry fee
as the site thats host the tourny doesnt take neteller to i tried to work out the easiest way to make the money i opted
to play a number of SnG but with my time running out and the fact i know i am in a cold spell with the cards i decided to play
in 5 player extremme turbos at $2 +.20 reckoning even on my down swing with 2 places paid i should be showing a profit in under 15 games and i could easy fit in 15 turbo games in 5 hours

i had played in a speed event last night which gave you 7 secs to place or call a bet, with 5 minute levels. i expected much of the same maybe 5 seconds to make the bet with 2 minute levels as these were extremme turbos

i sat down and after 2 hands the blinds went up then i noticed the play clock was the usual 20 seconds
then the blinds went up again at this stage i handt even paid a blind
i looked at the board and saw the blinds went up every 2 hands
total madness

before long i was chip leader 3 players left and i was inn the bb and my stack didnt cover the bb

loved the game and the fact i won my first 2 extremme turbos (i was never a skill full player always a lucky person though)
means you can stick your 10k stacks and 45 minute levels where the sun dont shine i am gonna play these push or die games from now on much more fun and no time to play myself into a hole.

btw how can these sites get away with charging 33.3% rake on a 0.75$ 5 player SnG and 20% on an 8 player $5 SnG surely this makes the games unbeatable unless of course your edge over the field is huge but then again if your edge was huge why would you be playing at that level
