I left Everest Poker the other day to start playing at Cake Poker. This is mainly because Everest couldn’t offer me any more bonuses and I discovered one other important thing I didn’t have on Everest: rakeback.

I was able to build up a decent bankroll on Everest the last couple of days and a friend told me that having rakeback can be a great advantage when multi-tabling on cashgames frequently. I searched for a room that offers rakeback and I found Cake Poker . Now I had never heard of this room before, but it became clear soon that the graphics etcetera were reasonably good. Besides, I received a 100% deposit bonus on my $350 deposit, so that’s great also. I’m playing for a couple of days now ($.10/.20 PLO, sixhanded, 3 tables) and am curious how big my rakeback is gonna be in the first week .

Anyway, I already won a really great pot on Cake, and this one shows once more how juicy this game can be. I’m still having some troubles with finding the hand histories so I copied this for you:

As you see, it’s all about Aces again . I have a suited Ace and two connectors so I bet pot after one caller. The guy behind me decides to raise this for some reasons with only Kings. The guy with 7889 calls, which is not that bad if he can see a flop for this price. However, he could suspect that it’s gonna be raised again. The next guy also calls, which is of course a very retarded call. I make a big reraise, as I prefer a situation where I’m heads-up with one caller to a four way pot. INSTEAD: Mr. Kings reraises me and all the other players throw in their money as well. I’m of course very happy to flop my Ace, as this knocks out a lot of hands and draws, but on the turn I have to beat two flushdraws. So I’m very relieved when the club hits the river and win the $54 main pot. That’s more than 250 big blinds, PLO can be so sick .

No song of the day today, because I updated my top 200 songs of all-time and you can find 200-151 right here! Forty new songs this time, amongst other the magnificent Do You Realize from Flaming Lips and a new Beatles song: I’m only sleeping.
