Whoa, you get 150 points for your 777th post? That's news to me, kinda gives me a little more incentive to be active on the boards. lol

Lol, no, I got 150 points for it being Doc's 777th post cause he's just a nice guy like that.


So, I finally used my $33 coupon and an $11 coupon in DONs tonight and won both!! I'm still waiting on the check I requested 4/3 to be processed. I'm not being very patient since my first check came so quick. Done ok on swc and sold off a few chips. Placed in another PO Bovada freeroll so I'm slowly creeping my way to the $22 mark when I can take a shot at a MTT or a SNG.

Carbon - $206
Bovada - $14.68
SWC - 274

I haven't felt like playing much the last couple of weeks, but finally put in a session tonight. I won 2 Carbon MTTs, a $2 NLHE and $2 PLO for just over $50 each. I also had an $11 coupon that I won a DON with. Got 3rd in Bovada, so I just need one more 9th place or higher finish and I will finally be able to give a $1 buy-in a try. Got second in a 5 chip swc tourney. Not a bad night at all, now if only I would stop losing all my LLBs.

Carbon - $255
Bovada - $20.48
SWC - 240

I have been doing absolutely horrible. Lost half my BR, but made another Carbon min cashout. Starting over again.

Here's a rough estimate of my BRs

Carbon - $75
Bovada- $20
SWC - 200

It's been awhile since I've updated. I've had a lot going on in my personal life transitioning to a new job, so haven't had much time to play over the summer. I've just been getting back into the swing of things the last couple of weeks. I got a little rusty, and it hurt not having the PO freerolls to boost my bankrolls. Carbon was down around $30-40 most of that time, but had a great run the last couple weeks and have started getting back in the swing of things. My roll on Bovada looks really good, but I've honestly been doing pretty horrible there. A couple of months ago I had gotten a free $15 casino bonus with a 300x rollover. I got damn lucky and hit a royal flush on video poker that gave me a huge boost. My BR on SWC dropped awhile ago, but has been staying pretty stable.

Carbon - $107
Bovada - $236
SWC - 105

Doubt anyone is still reading this thread, but I like having it for myself to track my progress. Been on a major heater the last month. I've had more time than I ever expected to have to put into poker. I'm also broke off my ass and would like to finally have just a little bit of extra money from poker. I'm slowly creeping in that direction.

A couple of goals have changed for me.

1. Any cashouts will now be put towards building a live BR where I follow the same rules as I do online. I will need roughly $900 saved up to start playing the cheapest local tournaments.

2. Because of Carbon's new cashout policy of 1 free check a year, I will try to build my BR enough over the next year to make a max withdrawal of $2500. I know it's only a 3% fee for additional checks, but I believe poker is about building small edges. If I don't hit that mark, I will withdraw however close I am next September as a birthday present to myself =) (if Carbon doesn't change their policies again).

So I did just deposit a $50 check from Bovada today. That will be the start of my live BR!

SWC - 96
Bovada - $279
Carbon - $365

Good luck with your poker rghy2, you seem to have it nailed!

Had my downswing, it sucked like all downswings. I lost about half my br on Bovada and down a little bit on Carbon. But, I just won a $2 buy-in on Bovada for $259!! It's my biggest online win to date. I went ahead and requested a min cashout.

SWC - 112
Carbon - $322
Bovada - $438
