February roundup

All bonuses and expences accounted for I finished my first month at $1/2 up around $1,200 (bankroll now $7,866). Here's how it broke down...
  • My 2nd in the OfficePoker tourney paid for my GBPT stake with $100 left over to put in the roll.
  • I made $733 from online cash games.
  • RB/loyalties made me enough to cover my $500 coaching/DC/Leggo bills with money left over. I like the idea of spending the RB on education each month and keeping the true $$$ made to pad the roll.
  • I'm going to have some additional $$$ each month from affiliates which I think I'll withdraw and keep in a seperate account for tourney buy-ins, trips, etc.

Next month:
  • 15k hands is fine, not gonna get as many in due to work being busy.
  • Play 4-6 tables (instead of 6-8) and focus on analysis and study.
  • Crush.
Not too much on the live tourney schedule next month, will likely just play a couple of OfficePokers and the Circus £165 on the 16th.

Also really need to get my ass in gear and sort out a WSOP trip in July, thinking about going for the first couple of weeks. Maybe going via CA, and back via NY. Any recommendations for anything?

Seems like a good month in the end. A bit of up and down but thats to be expected playing the tougher compitation.

I would recommend PS sats for the wsop try hard enough and it can be done.

All the best for the month.

Nice solid 1st month at the higher level hopefully you'll kick on from here if you get the time to play as you get more used to the next level.

Good luck
