Bankroll Updates

I played at Party for a bit so that I could withdraw some money from my bankroll. I made $163 at the tables, then withdrew $1163.

I did a PokerSavvy promo at 9Poker, and made $10 at the tables, and earned a bunch of SavvyPoints. I cashed in my points for $88 cash through Neteller, and also bought PokerAceHUD (worth $25).

I did a casino bonus at Lucky Nugget, but busted out of my bonus and $50 deposit.

Then I did a reload bonus at Dream Poker and had my worst downswing ever. I ended up down $543 (over 5 buyins at my usual NL$100 level), while earning a $125 bonus. You know you are having a bad stretch of negative variance when pocket aces is a money-losing hand for you :( It also sucked that over about 1000 hands played, I got AKo only 3 times, AKs only once, and my most frequent hand was KJo at 19 times. KJo is a hand that I usually don't like to play, but when even aces aren't holding up and this hand keeps popping up in the hole, then it gets very tempting to play it, especially when you keep getting rivered by mediocre hands like this, or you see others flopping monsters with it, or you see that you would have flopped a monster if only you hadn't folded it! Anyway, after this I knew I was on a bit of tilt, so I took a break from poker for several days to clear my head.

I just started playing again recently, since Full Tilt offered me a $50 bonus for 500 points. After a couple nights of playing, I cleared that bonus as well as $20 of my initial signup bonus, and made $103 at the tables. I enjoyed playing there, as the table selection is pretty good during the late evenings when I'm usually playing, so I'm going to look into trying to get rakeback there. I've already done the PSO promo there, unfortunately, so I think I'll have to get my wife to sign up with a different Neteller account. Anyone know if this is possible?
