So far I'm up $1105. Went on a 10 match winning streak on Cake, then finally lost one and then won my last 2. In case you're wondering...this is what that looks like.
12/13...sweet. 6 of them were DON's and the rest HU. Going back a little further, I've won my last 6 $25 HU matches, so thats very satisfying.

Whats really been going well is my Full ring games...It seems like every time I go in there, worst case I break even, which helps to rack up Rakeback, or best case I make like $10-50. I usually like to grind for 30-60 minutes and then take a break.
Speaking of Rakeback...this month so far I've made $86.90...heres the
breakdown cut and pasted right out of cakes software:
Hands Dealt 3776
Hands Raked 1863
Total Rake $105.99
Entry Fees $157.35
Total $263.34
Earnings: $86.90
I dont count the RB in my monthly totals until its credited, which is during the first week of the month, but its nice to know its accruing and will be in the acct soon. This months profit does include the $130 I got for May...
I'm gonna go on vaca for 6 days starting Tuesday, so not sure how much I'll play during that time...could be some or maybe none...we'll see.

Poker is fun!
Enjoying poker for the most part. Had one of the worst days of my poker life a couple of days ago, and it was hard mentally, but I let it go before I went to bed, and I'm proud of myself for that. I made the mistake of playing a bunch of DON's which I know how to play, but since it had been a while since I played any, I didnt play them optimally. To make matters worse, I ran awful, so the net was a big down day. On a brighter note, I had a very good day today...havent lost an SNG yet, and had a solid cash session too. I have learned to be very philosophical about bad beats and coolers...my thought process goes something like this:
-I'm playing a buy in level that I know I have consistently beaten in the past
-So, the fact that I'm having a bad day is the exception, not the rule..
-So, once this patch of non-std variance is over I will be back to my winning ways
-So, I'm not gonna freak out, rather just keep grinding and everything will be fine.
This framework of thoughts has helped me immensely. I never play over my bankroll, so I never have to worry about a streak of bad variance busting me. Getting all worked up and emotional about a bad session, or day, is really just a waste of energy, so I try like hell to avoid it....plus if you let yourself get tilted, it can do major damage to your roll. No bueno! I'm feeling really good about my ability to mange the emotional swings. The main thing is just playing as well as possible at all times...being honest with yourself if your not, and avoid playing when you're tired, intoxicated, or in any kind of bad mood.

Steady Climbin...
Not putting in as much volume as I would like, but having pretty decent results when
I do, so I'm not gonna complain. Still playing mostly on Cake til 7-2 when my bonus qual period ends. Still have $320 available to take down, and no way I'll get anywhere close to all of it, but I'll just be happy with whatever I can get. Just really been grinding the $10 HU with the occasional $25. I crunched some numbers, and my lifetime win/loss at $10 (on WingmanMtP username) on Cake is 178-158...really not very good. After 7-2, Cake will just be a backup for when Stars does server restarts, which was actually the original reason why I established it.
Gonna go to Denver for a whole week on 6-23, so going to modify the June goal down to $1400, because I know I will not be playing much if any while I'm out there.
June Profit

I was breaking it out by site, but have transferred quite a bit of money around for friends...ie buddy ships me cash on Stars and I ship them on Cake or vice versa, so
it doesnt really reflect reality, so I just combined it.

So far, so good...
June is off to a decent start...got $130 in Rakeback from Cake, and been playing some solid HU. Mostly just playing $10's on Cake trying to find my rhythm. Once I feel that I'm destroying the $10's, I will go back to the $25's. I've played a couple hundred $25's on cake, and I have a positive ROI, but only about 1%. Obtaining FPP's is slow at the $10 level, so still have $340 left on the signup bonus. I've accepted the fact that I wont retire it all by July 2nd (the deadline), but I will work off as much as I can in June and just be happy with it.
Gonna work really hard this month to try to make $2000 in profit.
In tennis, Roger made the final of the French. He will play Robin Soderling for the title this weekend. Wow...if he can win that match, I cant see how hes not the best ever.

June..Lets go!
Ok...So, I updated a few hours ago, but I just played some more and I wanted to update again. Just played a $100 HU Sng on Cake and won it, then I saw a donk that I've pwned a few times sitting in the $50 lobby and I sat him and got 99 in vs AK for stacks and got pwn'd. Oh well...thats the breaks. I also just played a little on Stars, and the software is so much better its unreal. Cake is listed as the 10th largest poker site worldwide in terms of traffic....they really need to upgrade the client. I'll be back on Stars soon...Enough about that.
Couple other cool things...I sold 100 call contracts naked on GM on Thursday. The June $1's (GMFV)...Got .28 for them. With the official Ch. 11 bankruptcy filing this AM, it looks like I made $2700+ in a jif. Love that! Won't be 100% official until June 19th, but I cannot fathom a scenario whereby those contracts wont go off the cliff worthless.
Also, Rafael Nadal was thrashed in 4 sets by Robin Soderling in the French...wow! A shocker is an understatement. I guess Roger will now have the best chance of his life to win the French and bolster his case as the best player who ever lived. BTW...I have a sports betting account, and if any of my friends, or poker buddies wants to place a wager on the French, or NBA final, or any sporting event for that matter, get in touch with me and I will help you out.

May is Done...kinda glad
May has been a little bit frustrating. Up and down and all around. Getting a little bit tired of Cake...the software is clunky as hell. As for games filling at stakes like $10-$50, it's ok for HU...would never play it regularly for anything else. Games dont fill quick, its hard to multitable, and the rake is really hi for some formats (Double the rake that stars gets for DON's as an example). But I'm still marching forward with the bonus whoring process, and the rakeback is cool...made $130 in May which isn't credited to my account as of this second, so I'm not going to include it in my final May stats. The sign up bonus still has $350 to go...don't think I will retire it all by the deadline of July 2nd. Dont care that much though...they changed the rules May 1st and made Fpp's harder to get, but the rakeback is better than it was, so it is what it is...bottom line...the new program is better.
Made a few sportsbets on Mysportsbook.com, and did well with that, and also made a little on Blackjack (I know degen!)
I did not make my minimum goal of $1000 for the month which is very dissapointing, but it just makes me more motivated for June. I want to make at least $2,000 in June to offset the shortfall and then some.
Final May Numbers
Stars $372
Cake and Mysports $457
