just had a thought

something i was just thinking. i've seen a couple posts on cardrunners about people spending there fpp's. i started getting extreme jealousy since i thought the fpp program was pretty sick when i decided that i could really just do the same thing with my fulltilt rakeback and save it up and let it sit in my rakeback account.

so i think i'm going to neglect cashing out my rakeback until i have a couple grand and then it will kind of be like a free roll when i want to cash it out and go to the wsop and play an event.

it also will act as an incentive to play more since the more i play the more rakeback i get.

two posts in a day! BOOONGGG

i suck so bad at posting

i've meant to write like 3 updates since the last one but keep forgetting. now i've forgotten most of it but here's a shot.

- had my first plo lesson last thursday and my second last nite. both went very well and im starting to feel very confident playing. im still making the odd horrid mistake but for the most part playing well. i've been up playing 100plo again and feel comfortable at this limit although i haven't had an opportunity to put a lot of hands in. pre-flop i've identified a few spots where i was playing too tight and my last nights session i played at 29/16 pretty much.

- i've played a couple tournies without cashing. i went semi deep the other night in the 7pm $75 but made a bone head play to cripple myself and then another bonehead play to dust off my remaining 4 bb's. i took a stab at qualifying for the $535 ftops horse event last nite but went out 8/8 in a $133 satellite.

- i had a lot on the go last weekend and never got to play so the number of hands i've been putting in is a little pathetic of late. if i want to get better and make actual money i have to start dedicating myself to putting in hands. i often only play when i really feel like playing and if im feeling a little bit lazy than a seem to use that as an excuse. from now on im going to set a goal for hands per month since on a week to week basis i might not have a set amount of time. my goal for now is 15k hands of cash plo a month + mtt's on the side. i won't really have a goal for mtt's since i will just play them sporadically when time permits. this month i've only managed 2k so far but im still gonna try and hit 15k somehow. my goal for december will probably be higher since i am off on vacation for a week around christmas and should be able to play a lot more.

- i've been craving live play lately and am also looking into possibly playing some smaller wsop circuit events if the times are right and my bankroll permits it. i'd probably need to hit some kind of score in a mtt or run well and move up in the cash games to be able to afford it. oh, and i've been looking into a vegas trip in more detail and have hope of going early in the new year.

- gonna play a wack tonight and might get a chance to play either a home game saturday nite or a possible casino visit for some 1/2 nl.
