VIP bitches!

Yep, I hit Silver Star VIP.  Playing at 25NL instead of 10NL makes a huge difference. You earn VPP's more than 3 times as fast.  

February was a decent month. I reached my goal of moving up to 25 NL.

I also started using my FPP's to play in the 210 FPP satellites for the Sunday 200K tourney. You just have to finish in the top 6 out of 20 people. Then I just unregister from the Sunday 200K and get credited $11 in tourney dollars. You can easily sell the tourney dollars to someone for real dollars for 99% of their value.   This month I played in 18 of those satellites and won 8 of them. I sold the 88 tourney dollars for 87 real dollars.  That averaged out to 2.3 cents per FPP. for comparison the $50 cash bonus for 5,000 FPP's averages out to 1 cent per FPP.  I highly recommend Micro stakes players try this out.

My goals for March:

1. At least 60 hours of poker.

2. Gold Star VIP

3. Play in 27 of the 210 FPP satellites.

Over due update.

I fell short of my January goal of achieving Silver Star VIP. I at least achieved my goal of moving up to 25NL by the end of February. I moved up this week, and so far I'm doing very well.

Tonight Stars will hit the 25 billionth hand.  I've never won anything big in my life, so it would be nice to win that hand.  It would be life changing.
