Last two days of April...
29.4. +31,08$ - 379 hands
30.4. +20,58$ - 306 hands
-----
+51,66$ - 685 hands
Playing for an hour and a half on both days. Funny story yesterday. My two tables break and I decided to finish my session. I was at +30$ after about 250 hands. I looked at Mansion's cashier and saw I am missing 1.5MCP for Elite status 
Because I wasn't sure if I could play today, I decided to play a hand or two. First hand KK and I lost against 95 with runner runner 9 on turn and river. Few hands later AKs - lost, next hand AQo - lost and after an orbit, I was at zero 
I didn't want to end this day with such a bad result, so I played for another half an hour and I got 30$ back
Nothing special today, another well played (lucky) session.
Graph 29 and 30.4.
But who cares about these two days, right? Let's look at this month's stats! 
FL SH 0.5/1 Mansion
22395 hands
+121,75$
0,54BB/100
+150$ First deposit bonus
673,44$ rake
3BB/100 rake paid
18995 MCP collected
84,8MCP/100
Pretty bad month, but it could be worse, right? At the end I've beaten this limit, so I can move up to 1/2 now. I datamined this limit for almost whole month, so I have big enough database. Just for curiosity I sometimes scanned 1/2 and I think it will be same fishy limit as this one. Lots of calling stations 
So lets look at my goals from the start of this month.
- Order Liverpool Football Shirt ASAP (as soon as I get my ~15 000MCP boost) DONE
- Winrate of 1.5BB/100 FAIL, only 0.54
- At least 20 000 hands DONE
- Reach Pro Member status again (this will be easy) DONE
- If there is any possible way, try reaching Elite Member status (I'd need ~27k hands) DONE
- If everything goes well, move 800$ from PokerStars to Mansion in the middle of the month DONE
- Read gold articles Some
- Moving up at the end of April. DONE and can't wait
So new goals for 1/2:
- Winrate of 1,25BB/100
- At least 13 000 hands
- Reaching Elite status
- Moving up in June if I somehow hit 2400$ (not very likely)
I guess that's it. Wish me luck.
BR @Mansion: 1554,05$ (1171,19€)
FDB: 10335/39000 (26,5%) - 150$/600$
Elite Member: 20359/20000 (101,8%) (1364 double points) DONE
1000$ Cash Bonus - 27360/480000 (5,7%)
I'll make an update, because this is my first day at a new limit.
1.5. +64,92$ - 481 hands
It is obvious a great first day. Better than in April for sure, where I had -100BB "downswing" in a first day ♦ 64,92$ is only half as less as my whole April's winrate 
It was kinda weird for the first few hands. It was so strange to see 2$ bets and 4$ raises. Seems so much But I adapt quite fast, even though I was kinda "money scared" for a whole day. But I found some really "good" fishes soon so it wasn't a such a big problem and I managed to adapt in the last quarter of my session. Besides that I got one really nice pot 41,5$ big. I hit 4oak on a river, villain had flush on a flop I had 10 outs on turn anyway so I can't say I sucked out 
But who cares... It was biggest pot in my poker career! 
I will continue trying to play only 3 or 4 tables. I do not need so big volume this month. Hope I won't have problems with Elite status. I'd need like 13-14k hands, which is 450hands per a day and today I played only a bit above this line. But today was a double points day, so I get a head start
Also I've got a MCP50,900.50 boost, which is really nice One step closer to 1000$ cash bonus Besides that I got 50$ from Mansion, because I collected 13000MCP in April. I kinda forget about this promotion, but 13k was so easy doable that I didn't focus to much intention about this particular promotion. But 50$ is nice anyway ♦
I am quite active now in sample hands forum. Hope I will give some good advices to players, who are not yet there where I am atm. I gave some "wrong" advices till now, but there are more good ones where frzl agrees with me ♠_biggrin: I still have a lot to learn

@irregularity: You are confirmed!
@DarthBobo: Thanks man!
Today I asked Mansion support for my 3 months bonus and I think they made a mistake.
In February I was Club Member, in March Pro Member and in April Elite Member, but today I got 105k bonus, which corresponds to 3*Elite member, instead of 15k which would be 3*Club member...
105k instead of 15k...
Pssst... Don't tell anyone ♦
Cool CS, I'll look forward to seeing you appear and disappear at my tables again for a week or two then! (until I move down, you move up ).
I haven't made it home yet after a day off from work (some people call it a weekend, I call it a holiday!!) but I'm really hoping Mansion are making the same errors for me

lol; I got 1,200,000 MCPs more on 1st of May than I should, but they took it back within 30 mins 
Anyway, why did you cash 3 month's bonus?? It's waste of $$$ unless you're going to leave Mansion.. 6 month's one is 33% better.
Too good to be true.
2.5. +55,11$ - 537 hands
3.5. +87,52$ - 553 hands
-----------
+142,63$ - 1090 hands
I should really enjoy in this moment, because I really doubt that this streak will continue. This is just too good to be true.
I didn't start so good yesterday, because I was 50$ down really fast. I tried to play my best, but I wasn't succeeding. I were losing money on all of the tables, instead of one, where I got a really bad player on my right. After an hour I looked at my winrate stats and the only thing I was thinking was... "Please, not to big minus" and I was kinda shocked when I saw +20$. I was so happy that I continue to play and eventually I got to +55$ and I stopped playing then.
Same story today. I didn't start so good, but it wasn't just my fault. I just didn't hit enough, my A high calldowns were never enough and so on. But then everything just opened for me. I started hitting nuts and more important... Villains were hitting second best only! I also bluffed nicely same TAG from two hands with virtually nothing.
I also sat down at Waiboy's table. I couldn't left that table because I had position on a nice player, with whom I played lots of hands on all limits till now. That guy isn't so bad, but I can read him really well. And he has some stupid standard move which are so exploitable.
My monthly stats are so perfect that I almost can't believe it. I'm kinda afraid to play in next few days

Not true Opal. 6 months of Club Member = 50 000 MCP
In next three months I will be at least 3 months Elite = 105 000 MCP.
And yeah. I am probably gonna leave Mansion after next three months, but that doesn't matter.
I get more with 3*Club + 3*Elite than 6*Club.
Graph from these two days:

4.5. -82,04$ - 882 hands
5.5. +48,45$ - 360 hands

-33,59$ - 1242 hands
Naturally... First three days were just too good, so there had to be one bad day... I just didn't know that it will be SO bad. But anyway After that session I looked at my stats and I saw 48% WTS!?! I mean, wtf. I usually have like 32-35%, which is of course too low, but how could I manage to build up that number to 48%. Sick.
Normal day today. I ran good, found some fishes and most important... Waiboy wasn't playing tonight. So of course I can have a positive session. I do not have to sit-and-quit tables so many times

Had a similar experience myself yesterday... just weird... maybe overconfidence? Maybe just variance.. maybe a combo?
