April Results

I've been really looking forward to writing this post. April was a good month for the bankroll. It was The Best Poker Month Ever©™™! February and March kept my bankroll pretty stagnant. But in April, I doubled my bankroll from just under 3,000 to 6,000 (remember, this is play money ;D )

There you have it. I was profitable at each poker room that I played at, which is quite amazing to me. Obviously, the big bonus I got from Martin's was a huge boost, but April turned out to be good even without that. Of course I know that these results are not sustainable. Over 50% ROI on SNGs? I'd say 20-30% is the high end over the long term for a really good player. I'm not exactly sure what PokerTracker says my ring game results are (I'll maybe go into that in a later post), but I would guess my PTBB/100 is right around 13 or so, which also isn't really sustainable. Though some where around 10 is doable I think, especially at the limits I play at.

Another thing of note is the number of days where I made over $100. There were 10 days of over $100, with one at 360 and another at 420! Wow! I like those days. I had 22 profitable days, and 8 days with losses.

Hopefully May continues like April, but I fully expect the bad end of variance to kick in any time here. I have quite a few bonuses to grind out this month. I have about 500 more raked hands at PokerRewards, about 700 more at PartyPoker, and I signed up for the 600 € Bonus at TopRankedPoker.com, which gives 20 €€ for every 100 raked hands. So 3000 total there.

Oof da!
