Also, the sit win go leaderboard finished on the 28th of the month. And i hadnt even realized i was close to making the leaderboard since my first game played this month was on Nov 22. But, when i checked the leaderboard with 2 hours left before the leaderboard closed i was in 31st place (top 25 get paid), so I figured I'd try and put in a ton of volume in the last 2 hours before the leaderboard closed. I played 130 DoN games in 2 hours, which is definitely the most games I've ever played in such a short period. I managed to get 23rd place which is good for $30 (although it hasnt been deposited to my account yet)
The VIP host last week had also offered me a $60 bonus for hitting 10,000 VIP points in 10 days, i hit it today after only 6 days so I got $60 from that, as well as $50 added to my pending bonus
Heres my HEM graph for Nov 26-28
Games played: 628
Profit: -$206.8
Rake Paid: $391.8
And my graph since my deposit on Nov 22
Bankroll is at $432.96 ($182.96 up since deposit)
I have about $300 in VIP points
And a $30 bonus from leaderboard that's on it way
Up a bit over $500 since deposit one week ago

ReplyDeleteinteresting blog, i play predominantly cash games on ipoker, however i have played reasonable volume with don's. tbh at the higher stakes $30+ i found it really difficult to break even, and even the standard don pros seemed to hammer out huge volumes, lose, and rely on rakeback.
ReplyDeletehave you got a decent deal? i was with hills on their standard vip scheme, i now play on the same side of the ipoker network but get 60% flat rb regardless of volume paid weekly. i'm not an affiliate and i'm only giving you advice. but i do know how much i guess you will rely on rb, and if you can earn 50%-100% more it is worth considering.
Ya the games are pretty difficult, I've put in some decent volume at the $20-50 games and it seems being able to break even is amazing. Although on the other hand with a good rakeback deal the profit from breaking even can be huge because rake is so high($3 rake at the $50 games)
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a partner with an affiliate so I get a good rakeback deal, although I don't get rakeback weekly, its a monthly thing.
Not sure if youre happy where youre at now with your rakeback deal but if you were to switch sites youd be able to get a 2k first deposit bonus, with some RB, and the VIP program the rakeback % could be very high
For now I more or less strive to break even at the games, I think that in the longrun I could win and don't doubt I'm one of the top DoN players on the site, but the swings are huge so its hard to really tell..But when youre playing against mainly regs in a 4max games reads on each player become huge
