I am largely a breakeven player, making most of my profit from rakeback and bonuses. I multitable (usually 6-9 tables). It frustrates me that most of my profits are from bonus dollars and rakeback
I'll often play small pocket pairs against small raises - going with the attitude usually of set on flop or fold on flop.
I'm looking at the hand I lost the most on yesterday. I don't think I should have played it any differently, just that this is one of those big hands I am going to lose money on. Just wondering what everyone else's thoughts are.
