After 13 months of straight Iron Man qualification at Full Tilt, I can no longer qualify this month. Having recently purchased The Orange Box I was engrossed in a game of Portal last night and completely spaced on playing poker. I had already taken to many days off from the tables and now I can no longer qualify for the month.
It’s been a personal matter of pride for myself that I could keep the streak going so I’m a little disappointed right now. Fortunately when I make Iron Man status again next month I will be able to take in a pretty decent bonus. I will miss out on my increased bonus medal counts though which really sucks. I was wanting to collect some more to make a purchase from the Full Tilt store but now it will take a little longer.
At least I’m winning money at the tables this month (now that I’ve publicly stated that you can expect the obligatory “worst day ever at the tables” post)
I’ll post and end of month recap and some numbers tomorrow.
One should always read the fine print. When I checked my Iron Man Status page and saw mention of a new Iron Man Medal, I thought, how cool. I was going to be rewarded for 12 months of consecutive Iron Man Status with a little token of my accomplishment.
Imagine my shock when I logged on to play last night and saw a few other players with medals. Then I found out that anyone who had qualified last month got one. That was completely sucky.
Since it’s just a promotion tool for Full Tilt and not a real recognition of accomplishment I’m going to have it removed from my avatar.
A positive spin on the whole thing is that now I can tell who plays a lot when they sit down at the table.
Sadly September was a losing month. When it comes to losing months though, this is the kind I would choose to have. I ended up down a grand total of 72 cents. That’s right $0.72. When I receive my rakeback for the month it will be profitable but I don’t like to count that as actual poker winnings.
On the SNG front I managed to finish the month with two good sessions which saved me. A total of 152 played for an ROI of 0.4%. Better than a negative ROI I suppose.
Having just completed my 12th consecutive month of Iron Man status at Full Tilt I’m not going to give up now. After this month my avatar will recieve the “Iron Man Chip” addon. Although I play with avatars turned off it may look cool. (Haven’t actually seen one yet)
In order to maintain I’m going to keep playing the $24 turbo SNG’s each day, but only four of them. If I want to play more after that I’m going to switch to NL cash games. My NL record has sucked this year and I want to put some time in to see if I can end the year in the black on these.
In other news; I’ve had a WoW (World of Warcraft) account for months but have never spent much time in game. I’ve finally found a character I like to play though so that is all changing. With renewed interest I will more than likely be spending my free time leveling up instead of doubling up.
