So this month has been a relatively quiet month for me. I have lost my SilverStar Status (I'm going to miss them two little stars!) Don't think I made the most out of the status,to be honest. I only played in one of the weekly 100fpp $30,000 freerolls for a min cash and I didn't have enough fpp's to go and try to qualify for a live event through the VIP satellites. Now that I have achieved this yearly goal I might as well be ambitious and target GoldStar Status for a future month this year. Very unlikely that I will be able to reach this goal but I might as well write it down and hope for the best!
I am over half way through clearing my second stellar reward and I should hopefully clear this in March. I am going to introduce more 2c/5c games to my grind as I feel I am getting to comfortable making pennies at the micro micro stakes.
In other news, this month I played my biggest online pot! It definately wont make Isildur1 quake in his boots but it had my heart racing when the final card was being dealt.The hand occured on a 10c/25c table. I was playing against this maniac at the 1c/2c tables and when he busted I decided to follow him onto a 2c/5c and so on, taking a few $'s off him along the way. It was quite funny, at one stage he played for about 10 minutes on a play money table, lost his stack, and then jumped into a 50c/$1 cash game! I didn't join him here because I thought the risk was too high of the other players at the table taking advantage of me whilst I was trying to take advantage of him! I bided my time and waited for him to sit at a 10c/25c table (after losing his stack on the other table). Instead of describing the hand I will just post the link here to pokertableratings hand history.

I know it's never good to get our stack in with bottem pair holding 6-3 for a $63 pot but I had strong reads that he was weak. Alas the river didn't go down the way I hoped and I ended up losing my biggest pot played online. At east I bounced back from this hand and made my way back into the black for the month and then some. Overall I was very happy with the (limited amount of) poker I played in February.
My first turbo takedown is over. For some reason the tourney froze for a good 30 minute period just after the start. It is quite a large field you have to work your way through and I bowed out around 12,000 place well away from the money. It seems like the private tab is swelling with affiliates offering freerolls into the turbo takedown so hopefully I can secure my ticket for this month as I see major value in the tournament and the freerolls as a whole.
The Irish Student masters is coming up on March the 20th in the Jackpot Casino in Dublin. I unfortunately was unable to satellite in as I was training on the Tuesdays that the freerolls were on PPP so I will have to pony up the €110. Small change when I win it and take the IPO seat all the way to the bank! I haven't played live this year to date so I am sure to be a bit rusty, but it's worth playing for the experience(and the glory!). Finally here are the stats for February:
February:
Bankroll = $397 (+ $48)
vpps = 378
