Was doing pretty well on CDPoker. Just got dinged for a huge pot by the tables loose player. I finally wake up with a hand when he puts in one of his insane raises preflop after seeing him flip over countless 29s and J8s I've got Ks sweet.
What's the table DONK have OH RIGHT HE'S GOT As bam bankroll destroyed thanks for coming out.
So I have dropped down to a lower level and am in the process of rebuilding and I am continuing to play smart. Avoiding the tilt just because I got dinged by one idiot.
Honestly though 12K in points to clear the bonus is insane on an initial bankroll of $50.

I've lost my money too on cd poker in a loose table of donkeys and i perfectly agree with you about the insaity of collecting such a high bonus with only 50 dollars, but i think it's they're way to get you playin in their site

Yea well I figure I should be able to get going again instead of tilting over that I just dropped back to a lower limit and continued to play smart. I will get back it isn't like it's a huge mountain to climb. Few days of smart play and I should be back to where I was if not even further along.
------------ Sickening 4 times in the last 2 days I have had Ks vs. garbage and lose. Flopped a set just that time and lost to QJ on the river. Can't believe it they must have saved up all the bad beats for the one time.
------------ There is absolutely nothing working for me I will be done with CDPoker in a very short amount of time and it is the most ridiculous assortment of bad beats I have ever taken.
Cannot get anything to hold up. Just lost with Ks against 10 2 off.

sometimes the pokergods are just cruel
i hope your next upswing will be even bigger then the bad run you experience now. its however a good reminder why i try to stick to fixed and pot limit games on the lower levels.
(i heard rumours tho, on the bigger tables are as many donks as on the centpoker tables )

Getting some back. Just took little less than what I had left to a low limit table (about $6) and turned it into almost $17.
It's going to take alot of patience and smart play but I will get it back to at least $50 before long and by that time I should be pretty close to clearing the first bit of the bonus. $10 at 1200 points and I am over 1/3rd of the way to that point.

Can't do anything but play smart. Didn't get down because I played poorly, that's why it is frustrating. But I will take it slow and build my way back up if I can.

Good luck with the rest of your bankroll. What helps me is just quit for the night if I'm losing but if you have the advantage over your opponent than why quit?
When I first got my bankroll at CD Poker, I went to play Blackjack because I knew that $50 was not enough to clear 12k points. But eventually went broke can't believe they put 12k points to clear.

yeah but as the points to clear are so high dont think in clearing already, build your bankroll and keep building, put yourself a goal like 10k and without knowing you'll be reaching 12k points

No sense setting any goal now the bonus I received is gone sucked away by bad beats and getting my money in miles ahead. I am too mad about all the garbage that has happened to me to even want to play the site anymore.
