143 hands, +$5.35
AP Mystery Money, +$19.00

So I was 4-tabling on one monitor and reading forums on the other (I know, I'm not supposed to do that anymore), and I discovered that AbsoluteGate is really starting to heat up. They've been blacklisted by BonusWhores and P5's has pulled all their AP banners. Further analysis of the master HH from the Potripper tournament has shown that it may have been an inside job. There is speculation that AP could shut down in the near future and that keeping money there might be risky.

So I shut down all my tables and considered the risk I was taking with half my bankroll at Vegas 24/7 (an AP skin). In light of the most recent developments, I've decided to jump ship. It's really very unfortunate, because the games there are fantastic and the Bonus is pretty decent. All I've really wanted out of a room was PT support, a decent bonus, and soft tables. I had all those things with AP, and I know I'm going to be hard pressed to find another room like it. For now, I guess I'll switch back to Stars and keep an eye out for attractive Bonuses, though I doubt I'll find any.

Interestingly enough, I loaded up an old AP account a few days ago and discovered that I had $19.00 in the account. I don't know if it was one of those promotional deals where they feed your account, or if it was left over from years past, but I decided to deposit a small amount so that I could get it above the minimum withdrawal level. I received an E-Mail today from ePass informing me that the cashout was a success!

As far as jumping ship goes, I'm facing a small dilemma with rakeback. I'm owed about $22 so far, which I'll receive either on the 20th of this month, or the 20th of next month. My rakeback affiliate isn't entirely clear on this, but I think it's probably next month. I wonder if I should withdraw all but $30 so I can get my rakeback. Or.. perhaps I could just withdraw all of it now and see what happens down the road. Perhaps if AP hasn't completely folded by that point, I could deposit $30 and immediately withdraw like I did with the mystery money. Yes, I think the latter choice is probably the best way to go.

Bankroll: $655.02
