FPP use update

FPPS

I wrote earlier about the best use of pokerstars fpps. Time has passed, fpps were generated and spent. Now more and more I'm regreting those fpps which i spent not on hyper-turbo satellites. Here is the reason:

As you can see i've already played 41 tourneys and cashed 14 of them. So now lets do the counting.

The highest possible vip level for me is Goldstar. So i can get 75$ bonus for 6250 fpps. Lets assume that i would purchase two bonuses: That is 150$ for 12500 fpps. For the same amount i could play 12500/235=53,19 tourneys. In order to be breakeven i need to win 15 tourneys: 15*11*0,95=156,75$ ( I am multiplying by 0.95 because this is an exchange rate for which i sell my T$ on twoplustwo.

So basically now i am almost freerolling for 53-41=12 tourneys, as if i win at least one more i'd be up by almost 7 bucks.

CASH UPDATE

I played cash only for three days now. All things are going quite well. I am a bit scared for being above EV and hope it wont even out. I'll need to pace myself in order to maintain Goldstar. The good thing is that i am back at 25nl.

Update

Running it twice reduces variance...



So this month is the worst for the year so far. Had to move down to 16nl. That limit is going quite ok. However i am starting to lose motivation to put in the volume also to write a blog...

It is very likely that i will not remain goldstar, which i had achived for two straight months. That is nothing to be worried about though. I won't complete the whole reload bonus. Now this is not very good.

The good thing is that i think my stagnation with poker is bound to end. Either i am going to improve or i am going to stop playing so much ( really not that much, but it is to me). The main thing keeping me here is to get some money on the side.

I will continue playing mtt's sometimes.

The best thing lately is Lithuania taking down silver in Eurobasket 2013 in Slovenia!
