January results ($2900)

This is going to be a quick results update. I barely played 1000 SNG tournaments last month which is pretty sad even considering the distractions/complications. I lost marginally over all of my games (~$200), but after rakeback and bonuses finished up on the month about ~$2900. $1000 of that came in the form of a compensation bonus from BetFred since the complications on their end made it impossible to compete in the rake races last month. I have to thank my super awesome affiliate for all of that (PM or email me if you need a good iPoker affiliate). Also it was a nice gesture from my favorite poker site and I feel pretty fortunate to have received it.

This month is going to be insanely hectic. A double-up SNG race started today that will reward almost $200K in prizes over the course of the month, and over $50K in freeroll value on top of that. If I win all four of the races in my 'division' I will get an extra $10,000 from that alone this month. I've won these races in the past but it's going to be extra difficult since all the grinders seem to have come out for this promo. This is hurting the softness of the games in a pretty profound way so far, but I suspect that more than a few souls will be crushed in the next few days and the field will thin out to something more manageable (I hope anyway!). I've already put in a ton of volume today and will be putting some more games in as soon as I finish with this.

So to finish up, in terms of meeting our required monthly nut to hit the goal, January was obviously pretty bad. But this is ok and everything is still sitting well with me. I'm super excited to compete in the races this month and I will be blogging about how they're going frequently throughout the month, starting sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Cheers and thx for reading!
