Since my last update I haven't had much time to put in any games. I played two games while I was on a break at work two days ago, but that ended up in two pretty bad shoves and I lost both. I wasn't really focused on the games. I was too distracted and felt rushed since I only had half an hour free to play. Lesson learned- no more poker during half hour breaks.
Later that evening, I went on to Carbon to figure out why my deposits were getting declined. It turns out that for some reason they combined the information from my debit card and my credit card, so they had the card # for my credit card, but the expiration for the debit. Once I corrected that, everything went smoothly. I deposited another maximum of $300 and used a bonus code to get 10% instant cash up to $30. Easy way to make thirty bucks. I'll reload another $300 every month if they keep having that monthly promotion. It will cover the currency exchange fees (which are around $10).
I'm hoping to get some games in today. I worked 15 hours yesterday so I'm pretty tired. The money I made was great though because I didn't expect to pick up all those extra training sessions (I work at a gym).
So with my recent $330 added and my two losses from the other day, my current Carbon bankroll is $665.23.
Here are some numbers so far for the month of October:
Games= 41, ROI= 9.7%, ITM= 58.5%
Just for comparison, here are Septembers numbers:
Games= 39, ROI= -0.2%, ITM= 56.4%
I'm still trying to figure out all the HEM stuff, but that's what I've got for now.
