Just a little update +giraffe =)

So this week has been great, I got to my classes and they are all really GR88. lol, So I've been playing some cash hands lately. I've been trying to get back in the swing of things but it's been sluggish to say the least.

1. My game.
2. Rakeback
3. Challenge!


1. I'm really happy with my game VS the regulars at 25nl. I havent had more than a couple big all in pots pre flop, and have managed to run about 20$ below EV which I am really happy about lol. The regs have been sucking against me, or I may be owning them. Either way I'm able to get in good spots vs. the fish and recognize how obvious it is what the regs are doing, and print money :) It honestly feels like the old days back in summer of 09 when I played 10k hands (lol smaple size) and i was able to move up with my winnings. That's not a brag, variance is still insane and will even out if I am winning more than i should. Ahh poker. Say-La-Vee

2. I managed to play every day since thursday and ended up putting in a 2k hand session today which went well. I'll be looking to put in around a 4k hand session tomorrow, whilst grinding out the big tournaments that I play on stars. GR88.com has some insane bonuses right now. With rakeback (35%), my 750$ deposit bonus, and this new promotion they have coming out, I think its safe to say im getting close to 45% or more rakeback. Also, thats not even including the VPP's you get from paying rake. These VPP's have a $ value of 100:1$. Which i can cash in anytime by buying into a tournament directly with VPP's or buying the 50,000 or 5000 vpp bonuses. It's pretty, pretty, pretttty good.

3. As for the challenge, I've manage to spend 0$ so far. I'm kind of in wait-and-see mode with my book-budget right now since I have no clue which ones I'll need. I do however know that I will have to spend 250$ on my phone bill for the entire semester, and should spend around 200$ on "dates" with my gf, throughout the semester. I think I'm going to allow myself 100$ of discretionary spending for the 3.5 months of school. This may sound a little or alot, but it seems kind of high for me considering I don't need to buy anything, like ever lol. So with 909$ in bank, 250$ goes to phone, 200$ to dates, 100$ to spending on anything, and the rest for books/ profit?. I think books might cost close to 300$ so I just might make it with money left over :)
