September Recap [+113 cash games + $240 bonus + $88 rakeback]

Posted by icemonkey9 on Oct 1, 2008 in General | 0 comments

Well this month blew. It ended awesome ... well today was awesome. I went from a losing month to a winning month but I think my HEM is messed up because of the time difference set between the server and my computer's clock because the session I just put in didn't accurately reflect for "this month" even though it's "next month" on Pokerstars.

The quick story in terms of $:

Cash Game Profit: +$113.16
Deposit Bonus: +$240
Rakeback: +$88

TOTAL WINNINGS FOR SEPTEMBER: +$441.16

The story is this: In what was my worst month in the last (I think) 4, I made more money than ever thanks to the deposit bonus and rakeback. Go figure. I won't have any more deposit bonus to rely on but still have the "210fpp = rakeback" thing going.

Anyways ... here's the graph ...

Played well below All-In EV ... which means I was more on the wrong side of some bad beats than I did suck out on people. What else is new eh?

The new news is since last night I've been on a tear at 50nl ... to the tune of +150 so with that I'm really hoping that October is THE big breakout month for me. I want to play more hands and grow more in October than any other month to date.

To Review my September Goals:

1. Play 4tables of 6max poker
Result: Passed. I played 4 tables of 6max for about 90% of this month, then switched over to 50nl FR on advice from bw07507 and that has worked out well. I miss 6max. I really do. Maybe I'll be going back again ... sigh ...

2. Play 11,000 hands this month
Result: Passed. I played 13,799 hands, a new career high.

3. Watch all Stox 6max videos for 25nl & 50nl
Result: Failed. Ridiculous of me to post. I did watch a LOT of videos that have helped my game in terms of preflop play and also cbetting.

4. Maintain Silverstar status
Result: Passed.

5. Finish ITM in 1 more 210fpp turbo, sell the $22 for cash.
Result: Passed. I actually made $88 in rakeback this month. Nice!

Bonus Goals:

1. Play 15,000 Hands - FAILED
2. Achieve Goldstar status - FAILED
3. Make the Final Four of the CC HU Championship Tournament - FAILED
4. Unlock the $240 deposit bonus at Stars - Passed
