I just learned that you get Ultimate Points (redeemable towards Ultimate Prizes<\/font><\/a>) just for playing on Ultimate Bet<\/font><\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, you earn more points for playing in the real money tables but Brian and I can’t afford that so we just play in the play chip tables.\u00c2\u00a0 You get bonus points for playing in tournaments and everything.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t care if it’s just one Ultimate Point per hour of play.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m just happy that not only am I getting fun and entertainment value out of sitting my ass in front of the computer for hours on end, I also get to earn points towards prizes.<\/p>\n

The only depressing thing is that, after making a few calculations, I’ve determined that in order to earn enough Ultimate Points for the prize that I’m working towards (the Tahiti cruise and Bora Bora stay worth $2,000,000 Ultimate Points) I’d have to play in the play chip tables fulltime for the rest of my natural life.\u00c2\u00a0 Unless of course I start playing in the real money tables and start earning bonus points.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian’s already put his foot down on that one!<\/p>\n

We didn’t get much done today.\u00c2\u00a0 We were supposed to clean house before going to the movies (we just went to see CA2: Full Throttle<\/font><\/a> at the new Warren Theater<\/font><\/a> downtown) but Brian and I ended up watching Junkyard Wars<\/font><\/a> instead.\u00c2\u00a0 After that Brian decided to play poke on UB (and he said that I can’t whine about it because I’m the one who got him hooked to begin with) and before either of us knew it, we barely had enough time to shower and meet Andy, Ashley, Misty and Sarah.<\/p>\n

Before leaving, we said to ourselves that we would clean house when we returned from the movie but that didn’t happen either.\u00c2\u00a0 UB struck again.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian’s actually still playing as I’m typing this entry.\u00c2\u00a0 Hey, at least he’s earning points (hopefully towards that trip I want but I think he will hold out for the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy motorcycle).\u00c2\u00a0 It’s just a shame that we aren’t able to combine our points together so we can get the points we need faster.<\/p>\n

By the way, the Kansas Powerball<\/font><\/a> was up to $135 million after no one won the drawing on Wednesday so Brian and I decided to take a chance on it.\u00c2\u00a0 We spent four bucks.\u00c2\u00a0 He got to pick numbers for one and I got to pick numbers for one and we got two quickpicks.\u00c2\u00a0 I ended up nailing the Powerball number on the one that I chose numbers for so I got $3 out of that one.\u00c2\u00a0 Not too bad.\u00c2\u00a0 I wish we could have won the jackpot but, at least we have three bucks towards more lottery tickets for a shot at $165 million (if no one wins again).\u00c2\u00a0 No whammies!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
