My month long poker goals.

Great post thread [I]sickread23[I]. As much as I've played online poker over the past 13 years, I'm still amazed at some of the play too. The bad calls, out of pos. raises, all ins, etc. I believe that a lot of questionable play is just is due to the ease of a mouseclick. The higher the stakes, the better the play, more times than not. Keep Grinding!

Thanks for commenting itt man. I used to be a mtt fish for several reasons. Recently I switched to cash games and have not looked back. I specialize in lmit08 and stud8 cash games. I started at the very bottom with under $100, and am now @ approximately $3000..... and that isn't including all of the value I have accrued in promotions yet to be realized. Since the beginning of February, I have moved all the way up to playing 5-10 limit mixed games. When I 3-5 table bigger mixed games, breaking even is actually not a bad goal; although I have been winning. I can rake over $100 a day with just a couple short sessions. With vip points exchange @ 35% + high value promotions, I should be cashing out $2500 @ the end of the month and still have another $2500+ to grind with. If all goes smoothly, I won't hesitate to recommend Carbon to anyone. The games @ Carbon are pretty good imo, definitely considering
the poker climate. I was +225 yesterday, even though I missed a $100 sports bet on Miami vs Duke..... $line was +250 Miami, and IMO that was a serious overlay. Duke had some epic contribution from this player named Kelly who came back from being injured.... guy scored over 30 and Duke still only won +3...... Oh well, would have made a really sick day but whatever.

Played a decent amount of poker today. I was pretty tilted with Carbon's glitchy software..... so I started the day poorly. I just finished a 10-20 limit stud8 game that usually doesn't run much. I ran poorly towards the end, but finished the game up +350. I still managed to lose around $40 today..... but with the amount I raked I am actually up. This promotion I am still active in is grueling. I have to rake $100 a day, and it will be going up steadily over the duration of the month. I have narrowed my competition down to 43 players. I really want a top 10 finish, as that is where the prizes start to become serious for me. I banged out 25-30% of Mondays rake requirement, so I will just need a couple mini sessions tomorrow and then a night caper. I will be looking to sell around 25k+ in points in a couple of days if anyone is interested in buying them for either PayPal or GDMP.

i wish i had that luck

It's not luck man, it's a lot of hard work and volume. I have played over 200 hours since February. I am a student, so this pace is kind of wearing me out. I piggybacked today's session off last night's session, so I had all-ready met my rake requirements by 4am est. I am not even going to think about poker until tomorrow. I have been having dreams of certain hands playing out in my head. I am pretty excited about the Chip King Promotion that is running this month. I figure to earn a lot of value in the promotion based on my volume. I also am ggaining more value daily in the LMS promotion. I already have $100 locked up in that. I really think that $400+ is doable. If Carbon runs another sick promotion in April, I might not be able to leave the site.

On a downswing atm. I have had to cut back on the bigger games due to variance. I am going to have to volume up the smaller games and grind for a few days. I mean I still have a roll over $2000 but...... I need 4,000 more vips to redeem for $700. I am kind of in need of a break, but the promo's are keeping me from doing so. Im going to have a monster stack in the Chip King $1000 fr on Sunday.....read up on the promo it's cool. See you all around.
