May results - Rakeback pro FTW!

I broke all sorts of personal records this month:

Biggest winning day: +1.6k
Highest number of SnGs in a day: 346
Worst month ever pre-bonuses and rakeback: -3.9k
Largest winning month including rakeback and bonuses: 10.2k$ (my first 5 figure month, yay!)

May 2010 Total: 10210$
2010 Yearly Total: 29960$

Obviously, I'm pretty happy with the month. I played 2152 SnGs which was an equal split of Super Turbos, Turbo DoNs and Jackpot SnGs. With the rake on these you are never going to expect a long term positive ROI 9 tabling these, especially at the 55$ SnGs and above. The rake on the super turbos is ridiculous, 10% rake for a SnG which last on average 9 minutes is really taking the piss, especially when compared the rake on the super turbos at Full Tilt (4% at the equivalent level). Jackpot SnGs are raked at 18% and the turbo DoNs are raked at 10%. I broke even on the Super Turbos and Jackpots but sustained heavy losses on the DoNs in the first half of the month.

April results

April was a bit of a mix, on the whole I'm pleased with the results but disappointed with the last half of the month where i ran like a sausage, tilted and played bad. However, 6.6k for the month makes it my best month to date for grinding sngs. Hopefully, Ill eventually have that elusive 10k month this year. Really thought it would be this month but oh well, guess I can't really complain!




April Profit: 6600$ (Inc. Bonuses & Rakeback)
Total 2010 Profit: 19750$

February Results

Well, after my last update I have not played a great deal. Due to work and then going on Holiday for a week I didn't get many games in Week 2 and Week 3 of the DoN promo and then after getting back from holiday I just didn't feel like grinding so I took a break. I don't think I've put enough games to reach the bottom of the leaderboard prizes for week 4, but I may just sneak in, we'll see..

Anyway, The results I was pretty pleased with especially seeing that I had never played any DoNs before mid January and it was nice to run hot for a change.

February Profit: 5750$ (Inc. Bonuses & Rakeback)
Total 2010 Profit: 8850$

February Graph:

Week 1 of the iPoker DoN Promo

Well, I can't complain about the first week as I have ran hotter than hell, which makes a change :) It feels like I have adapted to the DoNs fairly well but who knows as the sample so far is pretty insignificant:

477 games played in the first week, with a mixture of 55$ and 109$ games.

+1.88k$ From the games
+1.72k$ From Rakeback
+0.35k$ From a projected >20th place in the >50$ leaderboard.

+3.95k$ Total.

Which makes this my best SnG grinding week to date.

Placemint setup for iPoker

Placemint is a windows positioning tool, it allows you to set up predefined slots for windows anywhere you like on your screen space.

See the 2+2 thread for more detailed info - http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/45/software/placemint-window-positioning-tool-251893/

Below is a set up guide specifically for turbo sngs on ipoker.

Once the software is installed, you will need to configure Slots and a RegEx (Regular Expression) code.

First step is goto the Configure option in the Tools tab:



Next, Add a new group using the Add New Group button on the Configure Window Groups window:



Rename the Group Title to something more meaningful.

Tick the Custom check box for the regular expression (or you can add a regular expression using the Edit RegEx List menu)

Paste the following expression into the empty white box space.

^"Turbo"\s

The next step is to set up your window slots.

On the Slots tab, set up the first slot, enter the table size and then tick Show Sample slot.

Then hit the clone selected slot button and again tick the show sample slot, move Slot 2 window into the desired place using the arrow buttons on the Slot 2 window.

Repeat the above step until you have all desired slots filled.

Remove the Sample slots on all slots by deselecting the Show Sample Slot tick box on every slot from the configure window groups window on the Slots tab.

Save the config and close the Configure Window Groups window and you are ready to go!
