January summary

Well, that's my worst result for a month so far where the 275BB downswing on Bodog has been pretty ugly, and add a -10BB/100 run on Ladbrokes for the month, and its never going to be a record breaking performance.

That being said, i've still made a profit for the month of $400, so I am actually fairly happy still. My volume for the month was probably also pretty low and may not increase much in February either by the looks.

I'd like to say there were some highlights for the month, but there were few and they were far between. Probably the most satisfying was Cake support giving me a reload on the weekend, when I hadn't actually been included in the promotion. Thanks cake!

Last month's goals for January:
  • Clear as much of my Bodog reload bonus as possible (try to get closer to taking another shot at $4/8). Cleared about $160ish, but got slaughtered at the tables
  • Finish my remaining Cake reload bonus. done
  • Clear my monthly interpoker bonus. done
  • Spend some more poker points and hopefully convert some to cash. spent 500 stars fpps and bubbled
  • Possibly purchase the Pacific hand grabber to play there. not yet
  • Pray for another Cake reload ... and don’t screw it up this time. Got one thanks to support, and didn't screw it up
  • Maybe sign up for another kickback bonus through PSO Signed up for ladbrokes through Boogster
The gain of $400 for the month was made up of:

Bonuses/VIP: $500
  • Bodog: $160
  • Interpoker: $50
  • Cake: $10
  • Ladbrokes: $280
Rakeback: $120 (wow that is really not much volume ...)
  • Cake: $20
  • Fulltilt: $40
  • Interpoker: $30
  • Sun: $30
Poker bankroll Interest: $60

Poker winnings / (losses): ($280)

For February 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
  • Clear my monthly interpoker bonus
  • Play some William hill when interpoker runs out for the 60% February rakeback
  • Work out whether the Ladbrokes rake race is worth it in Feb. Probably not though as they have changed the prize structure
  • Spend some more poker points and hopefully convert some to cash (fulltilt?)
  • Possibly purchase the Pacific hand grabber to play there
  • Work out whether to keep playing on Sun

Current bankroll: $16,200

for your fulltilt points. try to win a $26 token through 1800 ftp entry 3 paid places. then there is a $75000 guarantee tourny you can use the token in and top 4 get paid. 1ST place os 109 entry which you can cash 2nd $53 and 20 or 30 for 3rd and 4th.
ive dont this twice now for a 2nd and a bad 4th where my AQ lost to A9.
both tourny take about 45 mins and is pretty simple to finish in. only trouble is $75000 entry tourny takes some luck to be filled when you want to play
