I've now been back for a few days and have played a few games, basically just some DoN 6-man. Anyway, I wanted to keep my statistics somewhere to keep track of my game so that's the entire purpose of this blog. I'm not in any way trying to earn any real money for the time being, it's just something to do when I need (or want) to kill some time. I will make an update anytime I've played, even if it's just one game.
I stick to a very strict 20 BI or more rule. When writing this I understand that the level I'm currently playing at is below the 20 BI's but since my level is the absolute lowest level, there's not much I can do about it.

Played some today, not the greatest of days. AA knocked out by 88, without that b******t happening I probably would have been in the green today as well.

Well based on you're previous statistics it will probally be around the same if u still have you're old game. Especially on the lower games there arent that many regular players so u have probally an edge while playing. It doesnt matter actually on which site u play imo cause well shuffling is random.

Everybody always have bad luck day so normal. I believe you will get profit again soon. But I curious why just play DoN ? I know you very good play MTT, almost always get big five at leaderboard PS and FT before and many times got first place. Do you no have time play MTT ? ( like me )

Exactly, I don't have the time. If I can find the time to play even 3 DoN it's amazing. Work takes too much of my time. And with a baby on the way I won't get more time, that's for sure.

Well I can tell you as a husband and father of 2 daughters ... it will be difficukt to find lots of time to spent at the tables.
I play short cash sessions (half hour to an hour) , I used to play DoN in the past but when you have to end one half way it s just wasted money, so I prefer cash tables where I can leave anytime.
I see poker as a hobby and try to relax while I am playing and my aim is just to play profitable on the long run.
and keep in mind there more important thinds in live than poker....

thelfy is right. If you cant find time now, imagine later with the baby. You will not have time at all for it. And its not only poker that you wont have time for. So play what you can now, since later, on your free time you will be probably sleeping

Wow. erru9107. You got some pretty impressive numbers. I think you are using total earning figure to calculate return on investment. Normally, net profit is used to compute ROI as shown in the formula below. * ROI (%) = (Net Profit / Cost of Investment) x 100.

Played 3 games today, complete disaster. All kinds of sh*t happened. Hit top 2 pair on flop, guy goes puts me all-in and shows a low pocket pair. Turn gives him trips and river gives him quads, I'm out. My KK ran into AA, My AA lost against 78, KQs with Q4T flop loses to 73 after turn gives him 6 and river 5.
Apparently not my day today and my total stats are crap due to the last 2 sessions. Oh well, slow and steady wins the race.

While you had some bad results in terms of cards, your loss isnt considered a bad one. Who wouldnt wish their loss only to be that high Anyway, ups and downs are there in poker. Good luck in your next session.

Been away from poker for a while, really no time for it. But I participated in the promo at PartyCasino and won myself $1.30 so bankroll is now up to $3.04 which is good. Inching closer to a higher level buy-in.

We are glad to hear that you have been consistently doing well. erru9107. Greater happiness or contentment is just around the corner with another thrilling accomplishment. Wish you all the best.
which is a very small amount of money I see ... of course everyone plays as he wants but is it worth the time? I certainly understand that maybe you play just for fun or train before the big game but .... I can not understand

@Tony_MON7ANA Thank you for your kind words
@pajalnick I'm playing for pennies because I simply can't afford to deposit. I'm just working on increasing that money but it takes a lot of time since I'm very busy with work and the little baby at home. I play mainly because it's fun but since I know that I do make a profit when I play (at least up to the $1 level) I would love to play on higher stakes. But since I can't afford to deposit, I'm gonna have to make due with what I have.
I only played 2 DoN's yesterday but I won both of them so I made a $0.18 profit.
Today I got a $1 bonus on the freebies at PartyCasino, played that up to $4.50 playing roulette and then I used the strat I've talked about before (beting on every single number taking a $0.10 loss but guaranteed releasing the bonus for at least $3.60) and cashed in on the bonus for a total of $3.90! This got my bankroll up to a total of $7.12 so I can now start playing on the $0.22 DoN level

It looks like that the strategy worked for you once more playing in roulette to release the bonus. And you made a good profit out of it. Next level for you in poker so good luck with it. You will always have some extra i guess from promotions to add to your bankroll

You are very welcome, erru9107. Wow, betting on all 37 numbers? Your odds of winning are 100%, but the payout for a single number bet is 35 to 1. So, you are going to lose one unit bet per spin. Yet, this is a very clever method for the purpose of clearing wagering requirement in a very short period of time.

Exactly, the whole idea is simply to clear the bonus for a GUARANTEED amount rather then keep gambling and maybe lose it all, In my opinion it's a better choice long term Especially since it's all free money, I'd take the lesser amount rather then blowing it all away for the dream of a good score that almost never happens! You have to keep in mind that when gambling, the house always wins! This method allows me to put the odds in my favor and actually get some winnings.
------------ Got another good bonus, win 5 free spins on Africa, won $2.50, played that up to $3.30 and invested some of my own money to play on all numbers on roulette 7 times, lost $0.60 due to this strategy but I cleared the bonus for a total profit of $2.70 that I can add to my bankroll! I now have a bankroll of $9.82 so I only need another $1.18 to take a shot at the $0.55 DoN level

A great helping hand the free spins in your quest. The good thins also is that you are following bankroll management, and you are not jumping to higher buy ins, while you cant afford it. You are close to that new target of yours. Good luck.
so normal. I believe you will get profit again soon. But I curious why just play DoN ? I know you very good play MTT, almost always get big five at
