Up to the 5.40 level now

Update on the DoN grind
Total Wins 101 Losses 48
Current Bankroll 50.40
Current total win percent is 67.8%

At the 5.40 level
Wins 9 Losses 6
Total +9.00
Win percent 60%

At the 1.15 level
Wins 92 Losses 42
Total +$29.90
Win percent is 68.7%


Now that i am grinding out the 5.40 level i the profit will move a bit faster then at the lower levels and i had to make such a big jump with nothing between the dollar games and the 5 dollar games but now that were at the 5 dollar games profit should come in steadily. Although i made an early jump this time i will wait till i have atleast 12 buyins to the 10.80 games so the bankroll must be in the area of 130+ for me to move up.

What to do with those FPP on PokerStars

From the low limit grinders all the way up to the seasoned online pros everyone earns FPP when they play on stars. Its stars form of rakeback (even though many people complain that they get nothing from stars). If you are a Supernova or a Supernova Elite then this article really isnt for you as you should should know what to do with your points simply buy the $4k 250,00 bonus and use the milestone bonuses that you get from Pokerstars. If you are a grinder that can't quite make it to the Supernova level there are many ways to get your money.

One of the simpliest and my personal favorite would be to use 210 fpp and buy into the 20 man turbo sng that stars runs to the Sunday 200k. This tournament pays a seat to the top 6 players. Once you win a seat you can simply unregister from the tournament and get your 11T$. This is one of the simpliest and easiest way to get money out of those fpp. Many people think that the 5400 sat to the sunday million is the best way to use your points but your not going to win every one of those that you play and doing the math:

Say you win 1 of every 3 of the 5400 for 215 T$ that means your putiing up 16200
That 16200 would work out to just over 77 buyins to the 210 fpp tournament and out of that 77 you would only have to win 20 to win more then the amount you would have won at the 5400 sat.

Persoanlly i dont think the math lies the 210 although full of donks chasing a couple of bucks is a far better tournament to use your fpp in then the major buyins like th 5400. So if you are good a 2 table low buyin turbos like the 1.75 18mans and the 3.40 18 mans that these tournaments should be a cake walk for you and an easy money maker for you.

Use my advice and who knows maybe using these tournaments youll be able to grind your way up to the point that you could be a supernova getting milestone bonuses rather then trying to grind out the 210 fpp


Good luck at the tables

Getting Close to Moving up

Update on the DoN grind
Wins 82 Losses 39
Total +$24.85
Current win percent is 67.8% (goal is to stay above 66.7%)

Things are really getting close to moving up in levels and I am playing really good. Once I move up if I can maintain this win rate over this many games I will be able to profit around 160 at the 5 dollar level which is great in just a short amount of time to play 120 games.

Slowly getting there

More to come

Originally I made this blog to just keep my results and help me keep on track and not take shots. Now after some thought I decided that I'm going to put some of my toughts down in this to give people something to read from time to time. Things mainly dealing with poker and other gambling related topics. Anyone with any ideas on what they want to hear about or want opinions on can send me a message on AIM at strailsterstars or can send an email to me at Kstra1@brockport.edu


One topic I'm going to discuss is my views about online poker and the government that will be my next post most likely some time tomorrow night.

I will also post a trip report of my time in Canada coming up when i take a small weekend trip to Casino Niagara.

Untill then keep the bad beats to a minimum and keep busting them donks with sets over sets.

(i usually tend to play limit 6 max around .50/1 and i also sometimes play HU cash and NL 6 max mostly 25nl and 10nl)
