February 2009 summary

Coming off my worst month to date in January, it was a pretty slow start to the month with little volume and fairly flat results. The last week or so has seen a pretty decent recovery, winning probably a couple hundred BBs at Bodog $1/2, a few BBs at Bodog $4/8, and reasonable gains on Cake from $1/2 through to $3/6.

My main achievement for the month was finally getting my Bodog $1/2 BB/100 back to positive ... after 24,000 hands. It was also good to actually win a few BBs when taking a shot at $4/8.

Overall though, fairly low volume for February, and i'm not expecting a huge volume in March either. Not really concerned though, i'm in no rush.

Last month's goals for February:

• Clear as much of my Bodog reload bonus as possible (Cleared $180ish)
• Clear a chunk of my Cake reload bonus (Cleared $40 - enough to qualify for the freeroll)
• Clear my monthly interpoker bonus (just finished it today)
• Play some William hill when interpoker runs out for the 60% February rakeback (didn't get to it as I only just finished Interpoker)
• Work out whether the Ladbrokes rake race is worth it in Feb. (it wasn't)
• Spend some more poker points and hopefully convert some to cash (fulltilt?) (didn't get round to it)
• Possibly purchase the Pacific hand grabber to play there (didn't have time)
• Work out whether to keep playing on Sun (played a little whilst i'm on 40% rakeback)

The gain of $950 for the month was made up of:

Bonuses/VIP: $300

• Bodog: $160
• Interpoker: $90
• Cake: $40
• Sun: $10

Rakeback: $100

• Fulltilt: $20
• Interpoker: $60
• Cake: $20

Poker bankroll Interest: $50

Poker winnings / (losses): $500

For March the goals in order of priority are:

• Clear as much of my Bodog reload bonus as possible
• Clear a chunk of my Cake reload bonus
• Play a heap of Interpoker - DOUBLE rakeback this month! RakeTheRake
• Spend some more poker points and hopefully convert some to cash (fulltilt?)
• Possibly purchase the Pacific hand grabber to play there
• Maybe look for a new bonus to chase

Current bankroll: $17,150
