Gonna start a blog just for myself to keep track of how I'm doing.

I started playing in August I think, throwing $100 into Doyle's Room, $150 into FTP, and $350 into Stars.

I went bust on Doyle's and my FTP is at around $50, and I just cashed out at Stars for $700. I don't like Doyle's nor FTP very much, but I decided to cash out all my Stars money to transfer it to Cake Poker because of their amazing bonuses.

I haven't got my check from Stars yet but I've already made a $500 into Cake and I'm just trying to grind out my bonus before it expires. I also got a 33% rakeback bonus that I'm very much looking forward to.

I believe I started Cake Sept. 19, 2008. I've played 4772 hands up to this point, and my balance is at $737, with $30 of it from my deposit bonus. I've come up with 626.50 FPP so far, and if my calculations were right, I need 8333.33 FPP to clear my $500 deposit bonus. I'm receiving about .17 FPP per hand so far at NL20, so if my calculation is right... I will need about 63k hands worth of NL20 to get the bonus, but once my Stars check comes in, I'm throwing in $500 from it to Cake and taking a shot at NL50.

No program I know of will track Cake HH so I can't see fancy graphs and what not. If anyone knows of anything that will work, let me know.

Here's a PT3 graph of my journey through NL10/25 on Stars...

Note to self: Stop playing tournaments.
Edit: fixed up numbers in hands played and FPP needed...
Found out Cake updates at 9 PM for me daily.

The only hands a nit balances in his range are the nuts, the second nuts, and the third nuts.

recommend against depositing money for the purpose of taking shot if i read correctly; why not just grind it out with what you've got and make yourself comfortable?

Hmm maybe I'll do this, I already picked up like 10 BI in a week or so.
