Feb Review and March Plans

I didn't hold out huge hope for Feb, I had to commit a lot of days to real life work + its also the shortest month in terms of days. I only managed to play 9 short sessions during the month so my volume really did suck :( 


Although I'm obviously disappointed with such a poor month at least I managed a small profit for the hands I did play. I also managed to spin some points up cashing in the Sunday Storm for $34.29 from a 700 FPP ticket. I also had a $5 ring game ticket on Fulltilt and decided to have some fun with that on the Adrenaline Rush tables where I run that up to $20 and then up to $50 on Roulette LOL. A swift transfer back to Pokerstars and the hit and run was complete. That's the first and last time I will play Roulette online. I'm pretty confident they let you heater on your first session at the house games! 

    

Total Hands- 16,634 

10nl-  $56.38
25nl-  $51.41

1,023 VPP's 

FPP value- $6.70 
Sunday Storm Ticket- $34.29 
Fulltilt $5 Ticket- $50 

Total = $198.78


I'm really optimistic about March and hoping to have some great volume combined with more play at 25nl. There's 31 days to work with and I'm only working 7 of those days so shouldn't be any excuses during March. 

Targets:

100k hands 
70k at 10nl
30k at 25nl

After the terrible volume of Feb I'm going to be back to Silver star which is a bit annoying. I should get Platinum Star for my efforts in March which will be nice. I know when your putting in enough hands to make Platinum star at 25nl the extra rewards you receive are pretty insignificant but the extra star on your VIP badge is enough for most people... aghhhh, the power of  Pokerstars Marketing for you lol

    2. Haha, It was just one small spin that happened as a result of me turning a free $5 ticket into $20 and just noticing they had table games and was curious to see what Fulltilts casino software was like.

      I work as a croupier in a casino part time and my pay cheque each month comes from the degens that play the house games, so I fully understand the maths involved and witness many lives get ruined at the hands of gambling.

      It was purely just a bit of free roll fun and would never invest any meaningful money in to -EV gambling. I also do the lottery each week for the same reason. I know it's -EV but its a small sweat for very small money and there's always that small chance of a bink :
