Following the Gravy Train

So, I have all the time in the world !

Not exactly true as i have a 5 yo daughter and 1 yo son to look after and a wife to not ignore too much. Not the ideal 'single without a care in the world' lifestyle that would enable me to play when ever i wanted, needed or liked to.

Still I can play a fair bit, so might as well make the most of it. Question then is where and what should i play. Intend to go and play the odd live game, usually at B'pool Grosvenor, but might get about a bit if possible for an attractive structure/buy-in.
Mainly though it is going to be online. And i used to be a fair STT player at Littlewoods where i had a pretty good rakeback and sponsorship deal. That has gone now, so need to look at other ptions as i feel the STT standard has risen a lot, not too sure this is what i will go for as my stable game. In fact it soon became obvious that i needed a game that would let me reach bonus and rakeback targets more easily.
I plumped for the offer of Pokerplex, which was a rakeback of 30%+ and a $500 bonus on reaching 3400MPPs.
So December started and i set off with this in mind and then realise i could also make a fair bit if I won too! This bit hadn't really dawned on me, until i went the first 6 sessions up and about $500 up in 4 days. Then the ups and downs started to happen and i ended the month no further ahead. I did reach the MPPs so gained the bonus and will also receive a similar amount in rakeback next month.
Final figures from December ( games are all Omaha high or Omaha Hi/Lo )
Played : 14,155
Won : $342.69
BB/100 : 1.87

Hardly the stats of a potential poker millionaire. However i decided for January i would stick with them and get the bonus and rake back deal again.
However Pokerplex have totally screwed up there Jan Bonus on the ecash screen and it is still not available at time of writing.

Hence i am now hammering the Omaha8 Limit games at Pokerstars.

Multi-table crazy !Keep dealing me in all 6 hands !
