$1000 and more...

havn't updated this bad boy in a while and as a result have kept you all in the dark about the completion of ze challenge!
wh00t! my free $10 was put to good work and somehow managed to come home to me with a little over $1000 a month later.. (thank feck for that!)

thoughts...
after pitbull, playing at hollywood wasn't a very pleasant experience with their extremely slow software and many server crashes.. however, i still managed to beat the bonus out in about 16hrs of 4-tabling .50/1 which was a dream according to my br..

withdrew the $503 from hollywood and and deposited $500 into party to take advantage of their $75 august reload bonus which was an absolute doddle.. (3hrs)

then finally lodged $50 into paradise poker to take care of the last bonus in the challenge, a $50 refer a friend bonus.. took 5hrs of 4 tabling .25/50 shortstacking to complete this one.. broke even for the first 4hrs and manged to win just over $200 in the last hour which thankfully carries me across the $1000 line.. shiiip it!!

below is a rather colorful breakdown of the bonuses completed..

	deposited	bonus	winnings				profit
pitbull	$10	none	$41				$46
party	$50	none	$45				$45
grandbay	$50	$60	$6				$66
golden riviera	$100	$50	-$88				-$38
william hill	$100	$47	$55				$102
hollywood	$200	$275	$259				$534
party	$500	$75	$12				$87
paradise	$50	$50	$291				$341
	total	$557	$621.00				$1178
		bankroll	$1,178.00

i'm not quite sure what to do with this blog now.. i may set another challenge for $5000 or i may concentrate on my game and forget about the bonuses altogether... either way, i'll be withdrawing some of my delicious bankroll and buying something nice to look at to remind myself the next time i get myself busted, it's worth it in the end...

balance...
$1178
