I am a recreational player and play between 20 to 50 hours a month.

September 04:
Started playing Holdem on Pacific. Lost $400

October 04:
discovered 2+2, started playing on Party. Grew BR to $1100 from bonuswhoring. Poker results slightly negativ on Party .5/1.0

January05:
Bought Small Stakes, added Cryptos and moved the bank roll to $2000 by bonus whoring. Breaking barely even on game play.

February:
tried out 1/2 6max, having 2BB/100 over the next 3 months on 15000 hands. Playing full ring also profitable.

March:
No poker, somehow started casino whoring and made $4000 over 2 weeks. Scared to death that the casinos won't pay me. It took up to 3 weeks and many e-mails to get all my money. Vowed to quit casino whoring and followed through up to now. BR now to $7000, cashed out $ 2000 => BR @ $5000.

Good April, bad May (got killed at 2/4 full ring, got killed at GamesGrid), BR at $ 5500

June05:
Just needed a change and played 109 and 55 SnGs. Decided to better start learning playing those first and moved back to 22s. Playing the first 20 22s like an ass, lost $250ish. Read a bit more here. Now, after 85 in total my ROI is at 11% (sample size, blah blah) but playing them feels quite comfortable. I'll play them for full 500 and then decide whether to move up.

All in all, it is nice to have a hobby and making some money on it.
