OK. Back in the saddle again.
Was using Epassporte at Cake but it is now not longer supported. So now I cant redeposit on Cake and I just went broke there. This happened when I went well above my Cake BR of $500 and played on the $200 buy in table.. one missed draw and one player hitting a draw against me and I was on the rail at Cake... needed to be a lot more patient in grinding out my $5oo first time depositor bonus. Should have bought in at the $25 table (this would have been 5% of my Cake BR, instead of 40%..lol) and just grinded out the bonus. Went for the home run shot and struck out. I still have $400 left on the bonus so once they get their deposit issues fixed, I will redeposit, be patient, grind it out and get my money back.
Put some money back on FT so I could play some of the blogger events (Mookie, Dookie, Skillz and RC).. this is a losing money situation for me (posted stats in last blog) but I am thick headed sometimes so I will keep playing it (I really enjoy the chats, blogs and overall atmosphere of the tournaments.. plus, I am not a quitter.. I will take one of these down.. just need to make a few adjustments in my game).
On a positive note, just bought a refurbished computer at the online Dell outlet store. Got a good deal on one for $700 (dual core, 2 gigs RAM, 17 monitor, N wireless card, webcam, bag). They have alot of great deals and I am computer savy so I can fix just about anything on a laptop except the motherboard (they cost about as much as the laptop to replace. Found this out after my Toshiba motherboard blew one month past the warranty..ugh!). Now I will be able to keep all my hand histories and reads on one machine (I currently use 2 different computers for this), so I wont have all my info scattered about. I can also keep all my web page design stuff and job opportunities in one spot (wife is going to pharmacy school next year so I looking for part time teaching opportunities online.. I have a part time gig at ECU but it is for only one semester each year).
I had fixed a laptop for this purpose before but sold it to my brother in law as he needed it for his step daughter.
Put some money back on FT to play the $3 rebuy, $5.50 mixed games and some bloggerment tournys. Taking a break from the cash games online as I am getting crushed... need a big score as I put a sizeable dent in my small BR with losing $500 at Cake, $500 at Bodog and buying a $700 computer (all this over the last 2 weeks.. ugh!).. Played way over my BR at Cake and Bodog and got what I deserved.. back to BR Management 101 for me (1% for tourny and cash game buy in's online).

Crushed in the bloggers
Really enjoying playing in the blogger tournys but after several month of playing, my stats arent looking so good.
and along with my PLO stats
It is time to give it a rest for a couple of months at Full Tilt. Luckily I have a rakeback deal and grinded out about $1000 in bonuses so I basically broke even over the last several months.
I withdrew everything off of FT and will be playing tournys at Bodog and the cash game at Cake (used epassporte to get money on Cake.. had to wait 10 days but it was hassle free. Also got a 33% rakeback deal through RakeBrain).
I have about 25000 point and am going to attempt to grind out a small br at FT so that I can play the Mookie, Dookie and possibly the Skillz but for the most part, I am over it. Great site, great game but I am getting crushed to say the least and if Furguson cant win on FT (dropping $18,000 over about the same period), I dont stand a chance..lol.
