Combined bankroll is now over $200. Made another $20 today and played the requisite number of raked hands for the deposit bonus. Would have been higher if it hadn’t been for a couple bad beats at this table. But it’s been good for the most part.

Empire Poker and Party Poker are basically just two skins for the same game. So when Empire sent me a 50% bonus code, I promptly transferred $100 of my Party bankroll over to Empire. So far I’m up $30 and I’ve played about 70 of the 250 raked hands required to get the bonus.

My combined bankroll is about $137, which is a result of the heavy losses I sustained on Monday and the minor gains from the rest of the week. I even won some money while playing Thursday evening from 6 to 7.

I’m looking forward to pushing past $200 this weekend. Yup, I’m just a small-time, low-limit grinder.

Blah. Monday sucked. Won money at the weekly game, lost quite a bit online. Again, it’s that whole playing before 10PM thing.

Tuesday was better, but not a lot better. I waited until 10PM to play, and netted $14.25 after 3.92 poker hours. That’s more like 2.5 hours in real time. What a grind.

I played at 7 different tables, two at a time, and won money at 5 of them. Between 8 and 10, I won $9.25. Between 10 and midnight, $10. Between midnight and 1:30, $36.50. $55.75 in total.

I’m still down for the week, but it seems that late in the evening, especially on Sundays, is the best time to play.

My bank’s now comfortably at $125. Thank God. Friday saw its share of losses. But now I’m up past my Wednesday night level. Monday night will hopefully be as profitable as last week.
