Hey guys,
Well I've had alot of time to think the last week or so- HM2 still hasn't fixed the ipoker issue. Obviously I want to make as much money as possible as fast as possible and figure that next month i'll move my Titan money to another site on the ipoker network and scoop another 2k bonus, plus what the loyalty program pays. I've shortlisted a few sites for this, so have a pretty good idea now.
Recent developments in the industry have resulted in rumours that the ipoker network is going to split into two separate networks in a few months time. This is obviously awful news for player liquidity however, in terms of loyalty schemes this is better as this places a greater incentive to maintain players rather then do the standard jump around the 30+ skins on the ipoker network scooping bonuses.
By having other accounts on the Ipoker network I will firstly be able to change my screen name- this will make me harder to play against as regulars will see me as a random for a while and thus have not much info on how I play. Secondly I want to be in a position if/when ipoker splits to have accounts on both networks so I have access to both player pools. My choice of site for next month is going to be one that is rumoured to be part of ipoker2. Essentially I want to hedge my bets here in the short term whilst scooping some 2k bonuses and getting 1-2-3k from the points i accumulate along the way.
So how has Party Poker gone? Well as I was limited to a $1k deposit for regulatory reasons- which is obviously absurd as what if your playing 5/10??? leaving me with a skeleton 50nl roll- I mean 50nl is all well and good to supplement an income but is pretty thin on being able to "play for a living". Basically the goal for my party poker account is to keep everything in there and not withdraw until I have a 200nl roll there ($7k), essentially this account is just to play extra tables during the day and is secondary with ipoker being my main earner. Party poker since opening the account has gone ok with my account on £1k- so now I guess i have a pretty comfortable 50nl roll on there. Hopefully I will get more data on players and move up to 100nl in the next month or two and really secure myself on this network.
Not being able to play on ipoker sucks and this month i've been punished- hope its sorted soon.
Take care.
To be fair you are a degen who require punishment once in a while to make up for the fact you don't have to work for the man. I would rather said karmic punishment comes in the form of difficulties in being able to play rather than difficulties whilst you are playing.
ReplyDeleteOn the flip side there is some pretty sick stuff out there that we may have to take advantage from bonus wise and I have used the time effectively by listening to podcasts and watching training vids. Whilst you have been researching other rooms and what bonus whoring options are available.
The point I am trying to make is that whilst you may not be making as much $$ at the tables, you are doing work off the tables which is +EV and rates to net you more money in the long run. Which is something not to be devalued.
Plus every extra day you aren't playing your normal volume is 1 more day I get to scoop your money at risk.
