Hm, you think that's possible without clearing the bonus/waiting for it to expire? Ok, I think I will carefully ask around ^^
Well, of course ♠_biggrin:

10K views mark hit - thank you for support, guys and girls! 
Also this is the 300th post in blog, what a spamfest 
ATTENTION, ATTENTION! BE AWARE! SEISMIC ACTIVITY DETECTED IN BET365! (caps lock intentional) PROOF:
^^
Played 29/21/6 style, spew spew for the win!
You wouldn't believe what a huge difference between FTP players and bet365 players is. I didn't know at first how to adapt to all those limp/call, check/fold passive guys 
But then I serioused.
Some got pissed off and tried to outplay me, by raising small on paired flops in several occasions, which gave me a healthy laugh 
Also ran into set over set, nut full house to straight flush; crazy PLO is crazy
FTP grind:
What a steady climb downwards from 1K hands mark. Looks like a tilt graph, but it didn't bother me, played the same way, just ran into consecutive shit
Regarding speed - i-poker tilts me like a flea tilts a monkey. Today 3-hour 4 table (can't add more, they overlap on each other so cant follow action) grind gave me 700 hands (to all those who mutter about my volume - please, go out there and grind some PLO, you'll see how 'fast' it is). 2-hour 4 table Rush tables grind in FTP gave me 1900 hands.
Anyway, quite happy with the volume and my play, will definately grind some more lately.
Oh, and there will be a new depositors' freeroll in bet365, but prizes are in Merit Points - haha, so bad
Maintenance in FTP, so no grind there so far.
Played some in bet365 thou, PLO20:
Yesterday played in bet365 new depositors freeroll. About 200 entrants, first 100 get invitation to other freeroll + points. Was in top20 all the way until shoved KK on AJh, flop rags, turn J, river J, i bust in 102nd
Also played in FTP $11BI $10K gtd, busted in ~400 out of 2000, flush vs higher flush ^^
Will update with FTP Rush grind later.
UPDATE
FTP is giving me its crap again. Included AI EV to make me feel better
One of those sessions where you get everything at once: you fail all draws, villain hits all draws. Even when I had nuts on turn being all-in, I was thinking: "well, let's see a two-outer Jack". Boom, jack. "Yep, on to the next hand". PLO is sick, variance is sick, and it makes me sick ^^
Hey Jackalof,
What BRM do you use for PLO? I'm trying out a little of RUSH 10 
peche
Hey peche,
For Rush poker I use 50+ BRM because it's super swingy.
Good luck and meet me in PLO25 if you feel adventurous ^^
But maybe that will not happen because I'm thinking about reducing Rush grind volume because it's not working too great for me. I miss normal tables with reads and stuff.
Today grinded some 'normal' (not rush) PLO25 on FTP. Hands did not hold:
Standard stuff
Will play a $11BI NLHE $7.5K gtd MTT for relaxation ^^
Later - bet365 donkey attack!
UPDATE:
damn MTT ruined all plans. I ran deep into it, wasted 4+hours to bust in 14th out of 779 and win $50 or so. Now don't have the mood to grind bet365. Oh well... 
Haven't updated for a while because nothing exceptional was happening. Oh, and I also hate copycats

Super funny hand from today's session:

--- UPDATE ---
Played some on bet365, result:
Kinda sick, eh? 5BI below AI EV.
This will serve as tilt reducer since this day was crazy both in PLO and NLHE HU. You don't have to get it - it's for personal amusement only
Unlike this cute little deer, I'm aggressive today
Sick sample size! We will have a national holidays for the next two days, so I have stuff to do to prepare properly for it. So no time to grind and no time to participate in miniFTOPS. Will have to unregister for $T I guess.
Hopefully I can update this later in the day with a moderately better sample size.
I fail to update lately for these reasons: 1) no time for poker; 2) sick bad luck which would make me whine in blog which is low
MTTs are killing me. Can't ship anything in last couple of months, usually run deep and bust before money. So much pain
Played some PLO25 in FTP today:

"What do you see in this picture, Bob?"
"Some jerk just sucked out on me, aaargh!"
Long story short - the shrink dies
Played some in bet365:
It's so so easier to play in other platforms than FTP, no wonder I can easily play ~28 VPIP ~20 PFR ~7 3-bet. Passive donkament.
Won a ticket to miniFTOPS 7-game event, will donk and pray I bust early ^^
UPDATE
Busted early in miniFTOPS, nice ^^
Played some PLO in FTP:
Enough for the day.
Word of the day - slow
Couldn't get things going, both in cash games and MTTs. A weird day so far. Won't bother describing MTT bad beats ^^ Will try to satellite in the upcoming miniFTOPS event (the Cashout one).
Can I ship MTT, one time? Can I, Jesus? Bad beats are killing me
FTP PLO25:
Had no cards and no good flops, what you gonna do
Bet365 PLO20:
Not much to say, the software is so slow and the tables so scarce that it takes a while to squeeze in even 200 hands....
Will update later with the story of how I bust in another MTT and satellite
O/T: ordered Moneybookers card some time ago, it should be arriving soon. Weeeeee
QUICK UPDATE
Clueless mister knocks out 3 people in like 5 hands Including me. That's China for you
UPDATE TO FUCKING RAGE
Wow.
Just wow.
I enter in MTTs again and again, and, yes, again. And lose, always. And get it in almost always good. I know, this sounds so bad and not right and single-minded. But in last 30 days or so I always bust in hilarious ways. So ok.
Played $6.60 MTT in bet365. Field sick bad, 207 entrants. Reach final table. 8 or 7 players left. We go all in 4 way. I have AA, vs AK AK 88. Board KxxxK, yep, one outer Anyway, managed to climb back a bit and place 3rd for $124, so not too bad despite sick suckout.
MiniFTOPS cashout event. Start very good, was in top 50 throughout all MTT until: raise donkeys with QQ, several call (ofc). Flop 779 two hears, I c-bet, donkey ships, I call. He shows A4h. Sure, if heart hits, it hits, standard. But no. It comes turn 4 river 4 Ok fine. No big deal. But then this comes. Donkey donks (it's what they do), I raise TT, semi new idiot at table who has been very aggressive ships ~50BB. I have an easy call since clearly he's sick aggressive and would raise better hands than mine, not just ship. So I call, he has Q9. I block straight, so he basically drawing to 3 outs. Boom, trips I say "well played", all table laughs, he doesn't get the joke and starts explaining how he expected me to fold when he shoved So bad. Ok, so whatever. Then I'm absolutely card dead, have ~15BB left. Guy who shipped some trash late position before ships ~10BB, clueless guy calls, I wake up with AQs so easy call. Idiot shows up with K6, clueless with AJ. Sweet. I ofc lose, have 7 or so BB left. Next hand get 77 in SB. It's folded to BU who is aggressive, but always in the wrong spots. So he open ships ~40BB which is sick bad because BB has a similar stack. I have easy call with 77. He shows K3o......... and of course rivers a flush
Yea, that's pathetic, but I really needed a vent since it's not a single or exceptional thing, but rather my daily MTT experience. It makes me sick to the bone. So I figured I better whine in my blog than create a thread about it
Also, to all those MTT grinders - you're the best guys. I don't know how you cope with this. If I somehow could get a graph with my MTT EV lines...
Ok, tomorrow is the new day, new bad beats and sucking out pathetic idiots await. I hope they all fly in the same plane when engines fail 
PLO is swingy on Bet365?
I'm wondering how many merit points you get on PLO 20? I'm thinking for a fd bonus on ipoker .

Anyway, have to admit that your mtt went pretty sick, loosing all the hands you did..
PLO is swingy on Bet365?
Most players there are loose-passive, easy to play. Met quite a few playmakers who are definately profitable. Yea, it's swingy because you're getting called by gutshots and backdoors and occasionally get sucked out
But clearing a bonus on PLO20 = impossible. I've played 3.5K hands so far and only cleared $20. Note that software there is sick slow, I'm 6 tabling (won't find more tables) and still it takes me tons of hours to slowly clear it. The thing is - you must contribute to the pot to get Merit Points. That's why you have to play loose-aggresive But all in all, I don't like it.
Death by boat > Death by plane
Well it depends on the sadistic taste you have, really
the cats. I agree with second kitten: 'shave your leg, dude'.
But then there will be no donkeys to pay us off with gutshots
Yea, I know, it was just a whine in general, to blow some steam off.
IM STEAMING, BOYS. HUNNY, IM STEAMING. THIS IDIOT CALLS ME WITH RAGS AND HITS A STRAIGHT. I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO, DANIEL? I WAIT FOR 4 HOURS, HIT TOP SET, BUT IVEY HITS A STRAIGHT. I WANT YOU TO DOUBLE BOOK ME, DANIEL! (*)

Omg won some cents! Lets see how many cheeseburgers I can afford

Two suckouts by the same person + several floats from same guy who managed to hit alot of turns/rivers = wtf dude

Time for miniFTOPS
That was a tricky question i did see few times a player named PLOisSwingy . Do to blog name i tought is you
Ok, thanks. Looks like releasing a bonus on bet365 takes about the same time like on titan (i have a small reload bonus on titan, played about 3k hand like you, and cleared 20$) . Gotta check betfred to, from their homepage they may give more points / rake after you reached silver etc vip leveles, so the release could be faster.
Nah, not my nickname
