Fishing Trip

I happened to start chatting to a mate of mine on MSN the other night and he mentioned he`d been playing the beginners sngs at Bodog. I`d played one recently myself and noticed that the opposition was pretty weak and we decided to sign up for a couple. The first was pretty much a slaughter margin with the two of us ending up HU and me taking it down. Army won the second one with me taking 4th and we played another tonight which I won and he took 5th.

The thing is these pay 5 places so any half decent, patient player should at worst get their stake back and probably should profit a little most of the time. I`ve played five in total now and placed 1st three times, 2nd and 4th once each. The 2nd place came from a $4 buy-in where the players seemed a little more clued up but it was still pretty easy to outplay most of them. I really should have won it but my opponent kept hitting against my better starting hands.

Now I know some people won`t regard these games as being worthwhile playing because of the extended payout structure but they really are a great way to build your bankroll in relative safety. They`re also a good place to try out some moves.

So if you fancy catching a few fish and making an easy profit check them out.
