Ipad2 Bonus Finished + Moving Back To Where It All Began

After about 2 months of grinding at the Pacific Poker network I finally managed to reach the milestone of $2500 rake and get my free Ipad2! The IpokerVIP staff were very helpful with tracking how much I had raked over the course of the months, my HEM and PT3 were showing way different numbers for some reason, probably the HEM wasn't up to date! I've shipped the order to my dad who has wanted an Ipad2 for a while and I don't really need one so I have been a good son and handed it over!

A few thoughts on the games, software etc, the games have got dramatically worse from when I started up to when I finished, I really have no idea why that is because there isn't any sick rakeback deal available or a huge bonus!? The software is kinda manageable but only 8 tables max absolutely sucks, especially when grinding full ring. That's probably a huge factor why my hands this month is only about 25k (lol) Traffic on Pacific is ok for 6max but recently there has just been like 4 regs to a table which for a small site with not huge traffic isn't great and the 100 games seem to be even drier, apparently there's a big staking stable from 2p2 on there at 100nl which would make sense for the games being like they are and also there's very minimal traffic at 200+ so it has a knock down effect.

Anyway my stats are below, I ran absolute horrific at 100nl and I would say over 3/4 of that is coolers, standard response but I know it is I've reviewed all of the sessions. Other than that I did alright at 50 6max but the main boost from my winrate came when I moved to FR, I crushed the games at about 20bb/100 over 15k and I really didn't think I ran that hot either!

hSo now that I have my free Ipad2 and about $900 in bonuses my roll is looking fairly healthy at $3500ish but I have had to withdraw $500 which is super annoying but I will put it back in at the end of April! I am moving back to where I started my career as a poker player Pokerstars! which I am actually really looking forward to.

I am also going to move back to full ring and just see how that goes for a while on stars because I felt like I was playing solidish at Pacific and had some good results so we going to grind out some hands and hope for some good results! Pokerstars even tweeted me to say welcome back so that's a sign I'm going to crush right?

Anyway I will be posting a strategy/thinking post within the next few days aswell as a joint review of January and February as I was too ill to post when January ended haha!
