Boring

I played way to much today, it would be a good thing, but it was the wrong things I was playing. I played a bunch of Multi's and Satelites and played really well in all of them, just well enough to almost make the money or ALMOST qualify. It sucked. I only put in about 2k hands at 5/10 and think I may have made like 300-400 or so, it was all so spread out that I'm not exactly sure. I need to get out and do something sometime soon, so I may go visit my friend Jon Little in Florida sometime in the next couple months. He's the ultimate grinder and I think staying with him and watching his habits could be pretty beneficial. Right now my biggest enemy is fatigue and burn-out, so i am trying to figure out ways around them. My numbers are acceptable, but I know they could be higher. Since I get rakeback now, I think I will just withdraw my rakeback $$ for living expenses which will leave my poker bankroll untouched and free to grow as much as I want it to. I should probably get around $2,500 a month in rakeback which will be plenty to live off of.

Also, one of my good friends informed me that his brother hit the Bad Beat Jackpot on Party Poker today for a cool $164,000...... sick




My blog gets boring so I figured I'd take a picture of my hair and let you look at something, I have a running $500 bet with my friend Nate on which one of us will cut our hair first. I guarantee victory.

September Numbers:
Hands: 21,463
Profit: $8,373.07
BB/100: 3.9
Rake Back: $1,161

How does rake back work? Dad

Rake is the ammount of money that the poker site takes out of every pot, usually $1 - $3. It's how they make their money and they make a LOT of it. To try to get people to recruit players to their site, they offer Rakeback to their "affiliates" who refer the players. For every $1 in rake the player generates the affiliate recives usually 30-40 cents. So, in order to get high volume players to sign up under them, some affilates offer the player a large portion of that percentage that they get. I get 25% rakeback, each hand averages about 20 cents in generated rake, so I get a nickel back (on average) for every hand I play. Hope I explained it well enough
