February Review - Pulling Through

I think I can sum up February as a month in four bullet points:

(1) Ran excessively terrible for the first half of the month.
(2) Ran significantly better during the latter half of the month.
(3) Game quality sucked all month. With Pokerstars reducing the effective rakeback of the vast majority of cash game regs and dividing it between themselves and the recreational players, you'd think the opposite would be the case. Obviously they're doing something wrong, though it likely also reflects a lot on the state of online poker as a whole.
(4) My volume sucked, partially due to (3) but also because I had a difficult time finding any sort of motivation.

As I'm sure I've said before, it is always better to go from running awful to decent than the reverse, so I feel reasonably positive about things. I do wish I had put in ~15k more hands though.



The bottom line:
$9574.64 table winnings
+$1187.03 FPP value (21,197 VPPs * 3.5FPPs/VPP * 1.6c/FPP)
+$185 coaching
+$300 pace bonus
+$300 stellar bonuses
---------------------------------------------------
$11,546.67 USD total profit

Hopefully the five full weekends in March yield some better numbers in terms of both volume and profit.
