Cooking the slowplay

I had a day off from work and decided to play some poker online.  I had my usual 5 table action going.  After playing for about 30 minutes, I realized that I had not eaten at all.  Multitasking while playing online poker has become an art form for many people, I'm sure.  My laptop sat on my counter while I started to boil some water.  While waiting for my noodles to finish cooking and while I was stirring occasionally, I was dealt AA.  I made a standard raise to 3x the big blind or in my case 30 cents.  I got one caller and took a flop of A5J.  Recently, I have had some issues getting action from monster hands like this one so I decided to slowplay.  I checked the flop and got a check behind.  The turn was a blank and it went check check again.  River came and I finally bet out .50 cents.  Ahhhh no action!  It's so tough to get action sometimes.  Anyway, I was pretty excited to see my multitasking skills at their prime.  I could not help but think how much greater it would be to have the same scenario at a casino where multitasking is not even a thought....I think I'll make that happen very soon ;)

I'm not sure I have mentioned this before about what is going on with me and my quest for online poker domination.  Back in October or November I got an email from UB.com.  It said that they missed me.  And that in order to see me more often, they were going to give me $25 to come back to them.  It was a nice gesture but these things usually have plenty of strings attached.  Most of the time it involves a bonus after making a deposit or something along these lines.  Basically they usually suck and are not worth it.  After reading through the email I could not find any of those sorts of strings.  So after getting the UB app for Mac, I was quickly on my account and saw that I had $25.59 in my account.  I had apparently left .59 in my account from a few years ago.  So I decided to give it a shot.  I played two tables of .05/.1.  I had $20 of my $25 at the tables.  Obviously this is not optimal but at this point, what else can you do?  Play .01/.02?  Pshhh!  No chance.  Let's fast forward to May of 2010.  It's now been about 6 months and lots of up and downs.  I have played 29,000 hands since I got this $25.  My account now stands at $294.  I'm not finished yet, of course.  I would love to turn it into $10k.  That will be extremely difficult as I have not even moved up a level yet.  Ahhhh!  It could be a while before I even move up to the .1/.25 game.  Hopefully I'll keep building and I'll have more to talk about in a few months.  Good luck out there!
