WEBMARKETCENTRAL | SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, 2006 Caribbean Marketing I just got back from Aruba, on a "free" trip that's going to end up costing me dearly -- though that is a topic for another post. Although focused on the tourist trade, Aruba has not yet become as commercialized as many other sunny tourist desinations. The lack of marketing sophistication is charming in its own way.

SMASHMOUTH MARKETING | SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, 2006 540% ROI for the week I know, only a week, but my new approach is paying off. play sit-n-gos, otherwise known as ATMs, to earn the base earnings to play 5-7 multi-table-tourneys per day. don't play the multis unless the sngs have paid for them. made this decision based on 3 years of PokerTracker data.

Yes, the rate of ruin is higher, the variance unbearable sometimes, but as long as I stick to the plan of only entering multis after I've earned the money through sngs, it seems to work. Tomorrow.
