.::. Currently playing at Poker Stars.::. Updated Daily and Monthly Most recent monthly update is July Final report: Available Here Bankroll on June 30th 2008: $202.56 Bankroll on July 31st 2008: 162.21 Current Bankroll $162.21 Titan Poker: $69.12 Other Sites: $80.00 Moneybookers: $13.09 --------------------------------------------------------------- About me: My name is Brian and I'm a 19 year old University student from Canada. I can see myself playing poker semi-professionally in the future, and I see it as a potentially lucrative source of income. --------------------------------------------------------------- Usernames: Titan Poker: brian997 Party Poker: brianf997886 Everest Poker: brian997 Poker Stars: brian997886 CD Poker: brian997886 Carbon Poker: brian997 Pokertime: brian997 Absolute Poker: brian997 PokerWorld: brian997 --------------------------------------------------------------- Goals: Short Term: Reevaluated on July 23rd I want to keep playing BSS until the end of August. I will then reevaluate. Right now I am playing two tables NL2, but will soon move to 4 tables of NL2 (if they are available). Then I would like to move to 2 tables of NL4. The buyin is the same, but I expect the play to be a little better, thus my winrate should go down. Long Term Reevaluated on July 23rd Hmmm long term... that sounds soo ominous... Now that I am playing BSS, I would like to be able to play NL10 by the end of September. To be able to play semi-professionally, I think I need enough money to live off of for about 6 months. To get this started, I will plant a 'seed': This will take effect when I start on Stars in September - Each month I will be taking 25% of my winnings out of the site and putting it into moneybookers. - If, at any time, the amount in moneybookers represents more than a quarter of my entire bankroll, I will withdraw 50% to a savings account. For example: September 1st: I have $200 at stars, $0 on moneybookers, $100 on Titan. September 31st: I have $240 at stars, $0 on moneybookers, $100 on Titan. October 1st: I withdraw $10 to moneybookers from stars. . . . Down the line: I have $620 on stars, $100 on Titan, and $250 on moneybookers. I now take a withdrawal of $125 out and put into savings. This is designed to be a slow process, but its mechanical and I will always follow it, thus slowly saving money. Another rule: If I win a tournament, and the prize is more than half my balance on the site, I withdraw all the tournament winnings to moneybookers immediately and proceed from there. --------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading and feel free to comment :) -Brian

For all those interested. I whipped up a little chart of FPP vs $ for PokerStars.

A few notes about this chart.

All prices are in Canadian $.
The last column is $/FPP in CENTS!
The chip set prices are from pokerchips.com
The prices of the xbox, wii, and ps3 are based off canadian msrp.
The concierge service is based of the minimum values they quoted (so this may be different depending on the value of the item you want)
For the 70FPP and 210FPP, the $ value is based of pure mathematics, not skill.
So the 70FPP tourny is a 10 seat, 1 winner (thus 10% chance, so $11*0.10=$1.1)
The 210FPP tourny is a 20 seat, 6 winner (thus 30% chance, so $11*0.30=$3.30)
So to decide between the two should depend on skill. If you are good at tournies, but suck at HU or short handed play, pick the 210 FPP tournies. If you are good at the short handed play, but bad at the opening of a tourny, pick the 70FPP tourny since it becomes short handed very quickly.
I did not include the values for the other electronics, many of them are worth much less than 1.6 cents per FPP, so its not worth it! Just buy a gift card then get it from a local store! Not a single piece of electronics was worth more than 1.6 cents. The closest was the 20" monitor at 1.58 cents/FPP.
The value of the porsche was 85,000 which is the CAD value for the car. Note that in the US the value is much less, so the $/FPP may not be the same.
