A bit early to December results, but with xmas/new year etc I might as well do it now. Hopefully I can do a 2009 roundup post soon as well.

So this month started out well, but then died at the end;

And by site;
Site(hands): $$$ (rb = rakeback)
————————
FT(1216): $62.07+$8.08(rb)
PS(1050): -$12.95
UB(1172): -$22.97+$2.69(rb)
PP(882): -$27.94

I don’t really know what to make of things – there were plenty of bad beats I guess, but it’s hard to tell if that’s the real reason I lost 6 buy-ins in less than 300 hands. It devastated the money I put into PS, UB and PP – now I really need to reload them, although such a crushing has put me off playing there now. If it had happened at Full Tilt at least I would have had rakeback to console me.

ok, here are all the worst losing hands in the 6 buy-in crash. Any advice welcome…
