I've been meaning to do this for a while now and here it is.

Basically the B&M games around Newcastle are ridiculously fishy. I've never seen anything like them. Problem is they generally only offer either £0.50/£1 or £1/£2. Way out of my league as a lonely PhD student.

Having started on party around 8 months ago and losing three $50 deposits, I came to FTR to learn how to play, switched to stars and donked around on SNGs there. Having grown my roll to $500 I got bored and frustrated with Stars always shutting down their servers. I switched $200 to full tilt to use when stars shut down and played some SNGs there.

However SNGs lost their appeal for me around 2 months ago, much in the same way as they did for Da GOAT. So I read NLHE T&P, and started playing 25NL on stars and FT to clear the bonuses I had pending.

After 30k hands and making tonnes of silly mistakes I am at $1000 and have cleared my stars rebuy and all but $20 of my FT bonus. The time has come to get off these difficult games and follow FTRs directions to the fish!

This blog will track my Bonus whoring and progression up the limits from clearing this last $20 at FT, to wherever I end up.

Wish me luck and let the adventure begin!
