Here I go Again.

So I had seriously considered stop playing poker at one point in the last month or so. However I went to Seneca Allegany Casino and chopped (heads-up) an $120 MTT. I had been wanting to start and account on FullTiltPoker for some time now so I can get rakeback. Finally had the cash and a little extra time to do it.

So I deposited $250 of my winnings onto FullTilt and I Stack Green was ready to go. Started off playing 10 NL max (.05/.1) and $6 sit n gos. Lost a few buy ins and no real end of the downswing was in sight. Until I discovered the $13.75 token heads up tournaments. Way outside my roll but I consider myself to be an above-average heads-up player. I have won 3/4 I played in. So the first one I won I used my entry into FT's 11500 guarantee KO tournament. Finished in 29 outta 712 for 68.35 and collected $16 in bounties ($4 each). The very next night I won another token so I decided to play the 32000 guarantee. Had a very nice run, making the final table, finishing 5th outta 1405 and a cash of $2024. I was in 7 coinflips all night and the only one I lost was the last hand of the tournament. Fitting I suppose because I doubled up the first hand of this tournament on a coinflip.

Plan on withdrawing 1200 to put on my loans and get my car fixed. Roll will stand right around $950 once I get the approval to have FT send me a check. As of now I am playing in $15 MTT, $20 Sit n Gos and 25 max NL. First time I have had a decent bankroll and I am looking to start making decent cash. Could also potentially have a few referrals for rakeback so that helps the account as well.

I am playing some pretty good poker at the moment and look forward to building upon my success.

Hey Edd checkin out ur blog here saw that you got signed up at FullTilt with rakeback, what rakeback site did you go with? If its RTR it's not too late to get you as one of my referalls, maybe we can split a few bucks here ;-) I got signed up on Tilt a month or so ago myself they pay the rackback on a weekly basis instead of monthly. How did you deposit on Tilt? I just got a P2P transfer and started that way not sure how I'll deposit myself here in the future, and Nice 2k score my man way to go.
