I finished my initial deposit bonus at Cake. It took me 16K hands at the $50's and about 1K at the $100's to clear the $475 bonus. My balance at Cake is $1782 including RB($141). I'm estimating my hourly rate at $35.00. My BR is at $3250

It took me this much punishment to finish my $125 bonus at Stars. In case there is anybody left here that doesn't know LHE....

It took me 9.2 hours with a MT Ratio of 8.21 This puts my hourly rate at $8.42 I might even have enough points for a bobble head or some other stupid shit.

I'm heading back for more Cake and jumping in at the $100's. My goal for the $100's is an hourly rate of $50 including RB.

BR= $3327

My wife and I had a nice night...I stopped on the way home from work and picked up a couple movies and a pizza. We got to just sit and relax for a few hours because the boys were sleeping and our 13 YO is at a church retreat. It was a real nice change from our normal routine

I decided to call it a month because Cake is freezing up and players are timing out every hand.

This has been my best month for total hands and total $'s since Frist bent us over the table.

I put in just shy of 23K hands and gained $1609.50 including bonus and RB.

My BR= $3520.

I have moved up to the $100's on Cake and hope to put in +18K hands this month and have an hourly rate of $50.
LOL up until this post I thought this emoticon meant cheers...tipsy works

Starting balance($1591) and hand count(16779) at Cake for the $100's.

Poker on Cake @ the $100's is going well. I've put in nearly 2800 hands and I'm up almost 8 buy-ins. I'm starting to wonder how long the sea of fish will last. BR= $4K

8.2k hands in @ the $100's... in the last 2k hands I have had a problem with my game that I can't put my finger on. I have lost a few stacks when I called with overs, aside from that I have been bleeding chips and pretty much playing like shit. I took a mini break from NLHE and played around 300 hands of .50/1.00 LO8 on FTP.

I'm still up > $200 + RB @ the $100's for the month.(this is a blessing )

My wife and sister along with a few friends talked me into going to the casino last Saturday and I played 2-10 spread LHE for 5.5 hours and picked up $160.

I also cashed in a free roll NLHE tourney on Cake for $50. Total for the month: $610 including RB

This month started out great and went to shit in a hurry. All I need to do is pull my head out and start playing my A game again.

I owe ED and EM a bottle of wine and a nice dinner when we come out to visit
