Bonuses and Training!... Love it!

Well I have received 44, $5 tournament tokens from Mansion on top of the $400 cash on top of the $200 points bonus for a total of almost $800 in the past 3 weeks... of course this is all on top of the original $50 start up capital deposit from pokerstrategy and never having had to put a single penny into this online poker platform myself!!! Check out the link to pokerstrategy just on the right of my blog, it is "sick" worth the time and effort, I mean $50 free USD cash put into a poker room of your choice, rakeback available at many other sites they are linked up with, monthly promotions and leader boards at all of the different poker rooms, free strategy training articles and videos and live coaching sessions, a monsterous forum, great support to get help, free training software programs and much much more, just check out the link on the right hand side of my blog. YOU CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH TRAINING AND LEARNING... ESPECIALLY FOR FREE!!! It's a win win situation and worth the time to investigate a little further.
This month they also have a leader board for members at 3 different poker rooms on top of the regular member leader board. I wouldn't have believed it but at Mansion poker alone I am up to over $1,100. in my current playing bankroll without ever having to deposit a penny of my own money, plus I get rakeback from a few other sites thanks to them.

PokerVT is also the greatest single inspirational training tool I have ever come accross!!! It is totally worth all the money for a year membership and have top notch pros providing videos, forum support, and weekly tournament promotions for all it's members. Without PokerVT I would not have ever considered the fact that I have a chance at actually someday becoming a pro poker player, I would never have started this blog, I would never have given myself goals, I would never have chosen a 3-5 year plan to becoming a poker pro, I would still be playing as if poker was just a fun hobby and withdrawling my winnings on a monthly basis and spending it on having fun in life. Now my chance to have fun in life playing poker is beyond my original expectations and I can place the sole thanks to Daniel, Jason, Jon, Josh, Adam, Nick, Grayson, Bryan, etc, etc... The staff are great, funny and friendly especially Gary, Matt and Lyell which make navigating the forum one of the most enlightening experiences on my journey. Let alone the many members who have tremendous insight into poker theory and continue to enlighten me on a weekly basis. Cheers and good luck to all of them who played well at the WSOP this year, especially Mike Jansen who is going on to Day 5 with over 700K in chips, has made the money and a regular contributing member to the PokerVT forum!!! Go ulitimatemike Go!!!

I went to see Ice Age 3 with my youngest boy and many of his friends for his 5th birthday this week had a great time, also took them to Wild Water Kingdom on Friday which was a great fun time for the family.
I recomend seeing the movie "Knowing" with Nicholas Cage that just came out on DVD this week and think it was a very well thought out movie in the way it was presented to the viewer.

Pulled my hamstring again... LOL at baseball this past week, but had fun, so cheers!

My younger brother is still mad at me for an argument we had 3 weeks ago but whatever... I said sorry and he needs to take ownership for his part too.

As of yesterday I have my current online poker room totals of all my bankrolls, which lest we forget started at $50 for most sites and $100 at betfair, witht he $5o at Mansion coming from pokerstrategy and not my own pocket so here they are!

Day off: Wednesday and Thursday. Lots of T.V watching, rented movies and trips outdoors. Didn't go to the batting cage at all in the past few weeks. Also whole bunch of late night poker viewing..., Poker After Dark, live PKR stream on the WSOP! In the past few weeks Jason (Jcarver) and Juan Carlos both PVT pros placed very high in WSOP events both claiming just under 200K for there efforts, Cheers and well done guys. Repeated this stuff as I felt it very important to say congrats to the pros at PokerVT.

See you all at the tables and best of luck, just not against me!

Cheers and Shambone!
