June Results

I won't be playing at all this weekend (camping) so I thought I would post some June results.

June was a fairly quiet month for me. I started off by opening a Click2pay account so I could do the Interpoker reload.

Interpoker - I just did the $100/500MPP reload and ended up $150 including the bonus.

Paradise - Started by getting the $20 offer for making a $20 transfer to the new poker room. Did that and kept playing (because it has been so juicy)off and on throughout the month. Up $940 including a small bonus.

Intercasino - did a couple of reloads...NOT GOOD (:. Like an idiot I was playing BJ before I realized it wasn't counting towards my WR (both times). Decided to play slots and lost $400 trying to clear $130 in bonus $'s. Tilted big time playing $.25/spin times 9 or more lines,depending on the game. Down $400.

I Didn't play any tournaments other than 2 Pokerstars freerolls through PSO. Donked out of both of those for zero $. I also played a couple of $100,000 Sats on Paradise with there Frenzy sattelites. It's just a quick gamble...u start with 100 in chips and the blinds go up every minute I think. Basically you push with anything and hope to get lucky.

July will probably be pretty quiet too. I want to do more things outside and enjoy the few weeks of summer we have. I will probably only do the Interpoker reload. I have about 4 poker rooms I can now do through PSO, but will wait on those until the fall when I have more time.

Paradise (Boss)

The bonus is terrible at the new Paradise site, but the players are even worse than that, making this better than any bonus chasing. I've been playing mainly 50NL(5max) with a little 7 Stud for fun. Just watch if you get on one of those Turbo tables because you don't have much time to act. I've only been playing 1 table at a time, as I'm not clearing any bonus just playing the table.

Table selection is key, I don't sit at a table with other Cdn's, it's usually a mix of France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Hungary, etc. Most players are calling stations and will call down to the river with nothing.

Stud

I was going to play a little Holdem on Paradise yesterday. I sat down at a table and got dealt my first hand and I’m like “why am I getting so many cards”. Damn, I sat down at a Stud table. I’ve never really played Stud online before; but decided to play for a while. It was actually a nice change of pace from Holdem even though I donked away my $50 buyin. I might actually have to read up on how to play Stud (properly) and play it every so often when I want to play something other than Texas Holdem.

I finally opened a Click2pay account so I could deposit at InterPoker. I’m hoping with Click2pay & Moneybookers, I should be able to deposit at the sites I regularly play at.

I’m still looking at ways to qualify for the EWSOP (European)

European WSOP

I just read recently that there will be a European WSOP (EWSOP) in Sept in London. I've never put any effort into winning a seat for the WSOP but I think I may try to win a seat in the European one.

I've played in a few more tournaments lately (I normally just play cash games) and I've quite enjoyed them. I'm not sure what site(s) will be the easiest to qualify for the EWSOP but did notice Titan had some sattelites for it. I have a few $'s in Titan anyway so I may just use them for this purpose.

Anyone trying any other sites to qualify for the EWSOP

On another note, I just can't withdraw my $ from the new Paradise site. Not because I can't but because it's just been so +EV playing there. What a difference from playing some of the rock gardens like Fulltilt or UB.
