March results

-233 live
+100 FTP bonus
+348.27 FTP rakeback

= +$1,250.97


Meh.. didn't run well, but it could be worse. First 2k hands were 50NL at ps, next 9k were 100NL on ps, and the rest were 100NL on FTP, where I will be playing from now on. Loving rakeback thats for sure. Hopefully I can put up a $2k April... I'll try to update soon, but there is a chance the April results update will be my next :)

Feb results... March goals

+~$68 rakeback
+ $70 ps stellar rewards
+ $63 live

=~$1,010

To recap...


Feb goals:

[x] Move up to .50NL (will take a shot when roll gets to $1k, maybe it will stick) moved up and played 22k hands there at 3ptbb/100
[ ] $1k+ profit online not quite, but $1k overall was ok :)
[x] Goldstar (if I run good early and move up to .50NL soon, I may go for Platinum) made goldstar



And now March goals:

[ ] 50k hands
[ ] At least 20k hands 100NL
[ ] $2k total profit


Been playing a little 100NL lately.. It it about what I expected. There are more thinking players, hence more light 3betting and metagame is starting to play a role just because there are more solid players overall than I saw at 50NL. By the way, after about 3k more hands, I'll hit the 100k hand mark since I started back at cash games in December... Crazy huh? Roll is at $1,896.60

So I lost right at a buy-in. The roll is at $1611, so I'll probably take another shot.. if I dip below $1500 its back to 50NL. I had an "OK" February, making a little over $1k including rakeback, bonuses, online and live. I'll update with the numbers and graph soon. I'm going to play a 1/2 live game in 2 hours.. glglgl me
