December Review and Transition to PokerStars














Played a little over 26k hands at FTP $100 NLHE FR Rush Poker in December. I basically broke even and won a little with rakeback/bonuses. I bought the $1k bonus in the black card store and I'm in the process of clearing it in January along with my $500 end of the year bonus. It's nice that they both clear at the same time too.


Goals for December 2010:

1) Complete Rush week and earn $250 bonus.
2) Play A game 100% of time or just quit for day/session
3) Earn at least Gold for the Iron Man so that I can collect my end of year bonus.
4) Stop being a calling station without solid reads.


1)Completed
2)Probably played my best about 80% of the time. I'm still making terrible preflop calls and stupid hero calls without solid reads.
3)Earned Gold
4)Failed

Goals for January 2011:

1)Clear my $1k black card bonus, $500 end of year bonus and $100 Holiday Bonus
2)Stop Being a Calling Station
3)Transition over to Poker Stars

As for goal 3, I'm in the process of taking the majority of my play to Poker Stars. Since FTP changed how they calculated rakeback, it's better value for me to play at Poker Stars. I figure I can get atleast 100k vpp and earn SuperNova. If I go on a heater and improve my poker game, I can go for 200k and slowly move up to $200 NLHE FR.
