Planing on switching to pokerstars, some hours on ipoker its hard to massplay sngs and cgs cuz of some low activity with only like 6-10k players online w like only a few sngs running at a time

what I wonder is about the "cash back" system. now I have a 27% rakeback deal and I wanna know if the bonussystem to switch "points" to cash is any good?

If I rake say 3-4000$ / month will I get like any cashback? cuz 1k rakeback is pretty nice for me and if I can get like close to like atleast 500-1k$ as a 20-30$ sng and 50nl, 100nl player?

Im to laazy to search around on pokerstars site with a calculator and shit ^^

just wonder if any1 who is like using the points for cash regulary can give me some nice info?
Is their bonussystem any good?

would really appriciate it
Thanks <3!

So I moved up from 50nl to 100nl about a week ago with some nice sucess until today..

played for 6 hours 9 tabling and ended up losing 13BI's

like 1/3 of my roll..

I even think I played good aswell actually.. dont even wanna count the set vs higher sets and overpairs vs middlepair sets/random 2pair / draw riversuckouts in 3bet pots..


by far the worse ive ever run straight withoug catching any breaks..


couple of days break time and guess ill get back to 50nl...

Played almost only MTTs and SnGs last month with some good sucess, but I really feel like I need to get the cg's going again.
So far Ive done good Moved up to 50NL pretty fast because I realised im to much of a nit playing 20NL with like 150 buy ins



Played around 5 sessions of 9 tabling 50NL and it feels just great Pretty high VPIP in 50NL but there is included one HU session of a couple of 100 hands.
Smallish sample of hands but 23bb/100 pretty sick when im running 150$ under EV aswell

The regs are so weak on 50NL so far, they play like robots and gives up to 3bets/squeezes supereasy.

Planning to play atleast 30k hands this month, I need to clear out my 600$ signup bonus + get a 200$ extrabonus for making 50k "cardozapoints" in 1 month.
Next month my 27% rakeback deal will kick in aswell

Feels so good to grind with bonuses and rakeback now.

On my last client I hadnt had a bonus to clear in over 1 year. Wich suxed pretty hard.

Im still pretty conservative and not 3betting to much, I really wanna try to go for a lower variance kinda style in the beginning.
But it looks like its not needed yet. Hope to continue to do good and become a 50NL reg this month

Bankroll now of ~3800$ almost 10xed it in 1.5month now :D

LP has been nice inspiration for me

lovesloves



ps. Any1 wanna get pwned 1on1 bw later? -.-



PS2 I found the most addicting game ever (worse then poker..) I played it for 4 hours last night omg ^^

would be funny to see how you americans do in this game. Goes some rumors for us euros that the average american pretty much cant point out canada on a map


Prove me wrong?

My best score is 9.2k points. Can u beat it??

(dont hate me my american friends^^)

Somedays fishes just swims around all over the place. Never had such easy tables as I've had today I think

Have been playing SnG's alot now the last days, done pretty good since I switched to Cardoza! feels just great atm!
Switched name from longple1 to NaWRataN in the transfer btw.



Also played my first cash 6max on my new nickname/site today, still sticking to 20NL. Im prolly rolled to shotting at 50NL with br of 1.9k now but I want atleast 50 BI's before going to 50NL. 20NL just feels safe and easy, no rush. Today has been extreme though, big donks have just been donating money all day

This hand below sums up overall how easy money today was..^^
+ Show Spoiler +

Holdem manager is kinda fucking up my handhistories so it looks a little strange... But good enough.

Love the 20bb open push by ATo, and having a guy like the Q7o guy who flats my big "isolation-raise" (wich I kinda should have made alot smaller wich I realised asfast as Ive done it) but it worked out pretty perfect anyways.. rofl. That Q7 fish was spewing like 5 buy ins around the table, I got 2 of them : )

Overall my 12 tabling day has gone great. Im up around 8 BI's wich is nice

Graph:
+ Show Spoiler +

Though my AA has been a loser over those 4.7k hands :O ~ -6$, delt 23 times. Sick.
Good thing like every other "premium hand" worked out pretty much optimal today.

Ive signed up with another site then VCpoker now. Same network though (iPoker).
My new "home" is cardozapoker and I got bumped up to 5/6 VIP levels and got a 27% rakeback deal.

Much better deal then I had before. Will be much more profitable to just massplay like a crazyass now with rakeback

Watched the latest poker after dark episode today with taylor/raptor and cole south from cardrunners vs gabe/doyle and eli elezra. Pretty nice episode.
Will be e nice series I think =) I think its great that they've started to invite more online pros to those types of programs lately, much nicer to watch then
donking phil helmuth whining of some1 sucking out vs him with a flushdraw when he minbets and give them superodds.. ^^

The site im playing at is VCpoker (Victor Chandler poker) and they are having an event the next 10 weeks where the top 3 active/successfull players every single week at 3 different stakes will advance to an 10 ppl SnG.

That SnG will contain:

1-5$ 3 ppl
10-50$ 3ppl
50+$ 3ppl

+ Victor Chandler himself, rofl

I came in 3rd place (week 2) in the 10-50$ area and advanced to that SnG. The player busting Victor Chandler will recieve an bountykill.
But the winner will win a trip to Spain in some live event. + Play Victor Chandler for 100.000$ HU (live).

I also won a bonus of 200$ cuz I came 3rd. Wich is 20 buy ins for me, always nice



The reason that Belgariad123 didnt advance is because he won last weeks 10 max sng and already won a seat to Spain.

The equation for the point system is (number of players in the sng - position) + 1.

So for winning a 6 max it is (6-1)+1 = 6 points

The final tourney will take place this Sunday. Would be very nice to win it. I've never played a serious live event.

GL guys!
