March went pretty good for me for the most part but I started to play kinda shitty near the end of the month which Im mad at myself for. I managed to reach my goal of playing 40k hands and finally being able to play NL25 fulltime. If I didnt make so many withdrawls this month I would be playing NL50 by now but its alright I dont mind grinding it out at NL25 for a while.
+ $367 Cash Games
+ $250 Tourneys
So I made just over $600 which is alright but I really feel I could have done a lot better if I didnt end up playing so bad the last week. I was getting coolered a lot and I think I might have gone a bit on tilt and ended up spewing away chips. I got it under control now but I dug myself a little hole to get out of which is never fun.
I decided that it is in my best interest to get of Stars and go to a site that has rake back. I did a little rakeback calculation the other day and it said with the amount I play at NL25 Im looking at over 1k in rakeback! Thats a lot of money that I would like to have but will never see if I stay on Stars so I decided I am going to move to UltimateBet for the rakeback and the 111% deposit bonus they have going right now. I wanted to go to FTP but I already have an account on there and it doesnt have rakeback. I dont feel like going through the hassle of trying to make a new account and gettig away with it etc.
So for April Im going to set out a few goals here:
- 40k+ Hands
- $1k in Rakeback
- Clear bonus on UB
- $500+ Profits from cashgames
- $200+ from Tourneys
- $2k Month in total profits
- Move to NL50
Each goal there is easily obtainable. I just have to stay disciplined and things should be fine. Im hoping to have my whole roll switched over by the weekend so I can put in some serious hours. It usually takes about 2 days on Stars for me to get my cashouts so I wont be playing much during the rest of the week but thatsprobably or the better because I have a lot of school work I need ot get done and I could use a little bit of a break from poker as well. Been grinding like crazy so a little break cant hurt. Im excited to see that I have the potential to bring home $2k this month if everything goes as planned. This would be my biggest month by far! Cant wait to see where this takes me.
