March 2009 Summary

Just when I thought it was safe to get back onto the tables after a relatively poor January followed by a half decent February, i've managed to go even worse in March for my worst monthly result to date. The shots at Bodog $4/8 left my bankroll on that site crippled, and my monthly results in tatters.

However, with a bit of luck and a super hot run on Pacific, I managed to recover some of those losses. Add in the double rakeback on Interpoker, my great reaload with Bodog (through RakeBackStat) and I still managed to end the month in the black. Just. $100 up, although i'm still about $100 short of my all time high that I reached earlier in the month - however I am very confident of getting back there in the very near future as I believe I am still playing quite well.

Interestingly enough, my BB/100 on Bodog $1/2 is still positive after finally getting out of negative territory last month. $4/8 is running at a super cold -10BB/100 over about 1,200 hands. Ugly.

Last month's goals for March
  • Clear as much of my Bodog reload bonus as possible (cleared approx $200)
  • Clear a chunk of my Cake reload bonus (cleared $60ish to qualify for the freeroll)
    Play a heap of Interpoker - DOUBLE rakeback month! RakeTheRake (about $120 RB)
  • Spend some more poker points and hopefully convert some to cash (used my Stars points to try to get into ANZPT. Busted out.)
  • Possibly purchase the Pacific hand grabber to play there (done)
  • Maybe look for a new bonus to chase (haven't taken one up yet. May do Noiq through RakeTheRake if they do another generous rake race)

The gain of $100 for the month was made up of:

Bonuses/vip: $270

  • Bodog $200
  • Cake $40
  • Pacific $30

Rakeback: $160

  • Interpoker $120
  • Fulltilt $10
  • Cake $20
  • William Hill $10

Poker bankroll Interest: $50

Poker losses: ($380)

For April the goals in order of priority are:

  • Clear as much of my Bodog reload bonus as possible
  • Clear the remainder of my Cake reload bonus (please give me another one Cake!!)
  • Spend some more poker points and hopefully convert some to cash (fulltilt?)
  • Play some more Pacific if it seems fishy
  • Maybe sign up for Noiq through RakeTheRake if their race is generous enough.

Current bankroll: $17,250
