Would you like sauce with that?

I've picked my new poker site to kick-off 2008. Hugh Hefner may not actually take much note but I will be shipping him some rake thoughout January and February in return for a $200 welcome bonus. I also plan to sign up through Internet Texas Holdem and can expect two free books in addition. I will be wearing a fluffy bunny girl tail and suspenders for the duration of my online career there.

I'm planning on 'Inside the Poker mind' and 'Professional No Limit Hold'em' as my tomes of choice.

I anticipate it should take me around 58 hours of multi-table play for the bonus so expect to clear it by 25th February. With an initial deposit of $200 I'm targeting a cash-out figure of $1000. Based on last years calculation method I would be looking at 8 full weeks to clear this and aiming at a cash-out figure of $752. Not counting bonus that's now a true hourly rate of $10.34/hour as opposed to $6/hour. Quite a jump.

I need to do this for my ambitious 10K by the close of 2008 bankroll target, if I set the year up into four Quarters I'm looking for the following gains:
Quarter 1: +$1,250
Quarter 2: +$1,500
Quarter 3: +1,700
Quarter 4 +1,800

Given week 1 is going to be a write-off and February is a short month I have just six weeks of play in Jan/Feb so need +100 for Weeks 2-6 with the Week 7 including the bonus and being +300.
So....
January Target: +$300
February Target: +$500
March Target: +$450

Can I hear a 'geek' from the floor please....

you are a loser...

but i very much enjoy the commentary. keep it coming into 2008 and good poker luck to all.

my 2008 poker plan is to start with a $500 bankroll and see what i have at the end of the year if i don't need to reload before that.

happy to stick to one site, would welcome any alternatives to stars, which is pretty comfortable but i actually liked party more.

"geek"

Mark have you tried William Hill or even Full Tilt? I think Stars is ok, lots of traffic.
