Bodog Here I Come + Feb Review

My money made its way into Bodog Wednesday evening, and I was able to get a session in before I went out. Things are going to be a little different playing there, as you can only play 3 tables. This will be fine for March as I’ll be spending most of the month in Seattle visiting my dad, and will only be able to play on my laptop. This is going to mean a lot less hands, but I think playing against worse players at fewer tables will increase my win rate enough to compensate.

My first Bodog session, and final session of Feb, was as good as it could get. I played 435 hands in 2 hours (like I said the hands will be much slower) and made $551 at $100NL 6max. I’m not getting any bonus money at Bodog, so I’ll just be posting rakeback updates as I get them. My roll is getting to the point where I can consider moving up again in the next few weeks. Bodog has no $200NL 6max games, so the situation is a little tricky. I will probably stick with $100NL 6 max mixing in some $200NL, when I can find a good short handed game, until I have 9k and can try my hand at the $300NL 6 max tables.

February was a very good month. I fell short on some of my goals, but I’m not too worried about that.

Profit: $2357
Rakeback: $1668
Hands: 29105


Let’s see how I did with my goals:

Play 55,000 hands: I only got in about 30k hands this month so I fell short on this goal. I don’t really have a good excuse, I just didn’t get in the time I should have. 30k hands is still a lot, and I made pretty good money so it’s not a huge deal.

$2600 in Bonus Money + Rakeback: This is pretty much based on the number of hands I played, so it only makes sense that if I missed that goal I’d miss this as well.

Improve My Game: This was the most important of my goals, and I’m happy to say I accomplished it. I’m very happy with where my game is at now and exited at where I can take it in the next few months.

I’m not going to be setting any specific goals for March, as I really have no clue exactly how much I’ll be playing. The week before I leave I’m going to be hitting the tables pretty hard and I’d like to get at least 5k hands a week while I’m in Seattle. I think the Bodog games are going to be a lot of fun. I’m happy that it’s still possible to make a living at this game, even in such rough times. If you can do it now it’s only going to get better in the future. I’m going to be working on my game a ton this month and anyone who is serious about this game should be doing the same.
