Well I am close to passing $3000 in my BR. With redeemable points I am over $3200. Have continued cautiously playing bigger mixed limit games with some success. Really hoping to make a strong run in the Last Man Standing promotion. My best rake day was almost $170, so I figure I can make it down to the bigger prizes. My goal is to earn @ least $300 through the promotion. My goal was $3000 by months end, but now I am really pushing for $5000. I guess it will all depend on how many shots I take at bigger games and how I run at them. I had a $750 roll that I quickly built from scratch and lost just as quickly. This time I am being far more judicious with my game selection. Would be pretty painful to lose. Would be nice to get a cash-out and be able to have enough left to grind during the summer so I don't have to get a summer job. Wish me luck.![]()

Ok status update. I have raked $210 today. I am again back on track to get Carbon VIP by months end. If I can have a few solid days and not drop with my BR, I will be able to continue playing bigger games to enable the run. I took a little BR hit earlier, but the VIP points will absorb most of the loss. When I hit Carbon VIP I will be able to redeem 20,000 points for $700. I have about 12,000 atm. I plan on playing in the Happy Hours between 11-3 Wed/TF. You get double VIP points during those days and hours. I am still in the LMS promo along with 160+ people. Wish those MFer's would stop playing already. With 3 days over $150 in rake, I am encourage that I can make it to the 15th of March without using any of my free days. That will be worth a $100 additional bonus. Also by that time I should be guaranteed another $200+ from the Last Man Standing promotion. I am playing the $60 Stud08 game tonight, which is easily my best game. I really hope to make a Ft in that event. If I make a deep run I will give you guys a live stream of it. I ran so badly @ 10-20 (2-7) triple draw today it wasn't even funny. This idiot kept drawing a card with 1 draw vs my stand and getting there. He must have robbed me of $1000 worth of equity, I am not even freaking joking. I was literally about to tilt. 2-7 is a cruel game. So $60 Stud08 and possible $33 PLO mtt tonight, even though I am prolly giving 25% up in PLO. It's a PM4 event so whatevs.... Like I said, if I make a deep run I will throw a link up for the railbirds. Alright I'm out, back to the grind in a bit.

Played a little 5 card draw and won $60. I had AKKxx and drew 2 and drew KA. Guy bet pot into me and I slammed it. He reshipped over the top with QQQxx. Pretty sick action hand. I still don't see much value in reshoving trip Q's. I guess villian might call smaller trips but.... Overall nice way to fire up another session. Still kinda gun-shy with the draw games. I played HU 2-7 $5-$10 and was down $300 before rallying to +40 and quitting villian. He was pretty tilted as he had me down a bunch and I quit him after getting a little ahead. The rake in those games is absurd. You have to get a couple of fish to beat the rake. I have raked $234 today...... pretty sick. Carbon VIP is 35% rakeback so it will be worth it. Goal is another $200 rake today while @ least breaking even. Tonight I FT a PM4 event..... fingers crossed.

Hit a little downswing and decided to take a nap. I feel a little tired still, but I need to play the Stud08 game here @ 9pm est. Hope I make a deep run. This is by far my best game. GOGOGOGOGO Me....

I wanna beat some of these dumb fucks I played today. I especially wanna beat this idiot named ILOVE12CATS. He was so bad and lucky vs me. I literally have grinded $400 worth of rake in the last 28 hours. I am playing 10-20 limit stud08 atm and am up like +300. I am like break even the last 28 hours. I know every session won't be profitable, but I am getting marginally frustrated. I lost a big hand near the bubble of the stud08 $60 tonight. Some clown chased down a wheel vs my 6 low. Was a 4 way pot and would have made me top 10 stack, and easily made the money. I just shake my head at how bad play seemingly always gets rewarded. I really wanna get 20k VIP points before the 24th so I can reg 4 the 5k fr. It will be close..... I definitely will make it by months end. I am taking another Poker Maximus shot tomorrow in the $60 PLO8 mtt. I am getting tired of being cheated in mtt's near the $$$. L8r's
