Cellsino – Signing Up to Another Site

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Thought I’d try another site for no other reason other than why not. I chose Cellsino because I wanted to see the EverLeaf network and it had the best rakeback (amongst my offers at least).

It’s not bad, but you can see the gulf that exists between these little sites and Pokerstars/Full Tilt. The graphics are kinda noddy (bright and unpolished)

but what really blows it is that the traffic is horrendous – only 1400 players at 9pm GMT (while PokerStars has 265,000!).

So why play there? I’ve no idea.

ps did get an ego boost though – I was checking if HEM could read the HH’s, and on googling holdem manager cellsino yours truly was at the top of the pile

pps I’ve taken the URL field out of my comments section. Hopefully that’ll reduce the spam a bit (even though wordpress’s spam filter is really effective). It does mean I won’t know a commentor’s blog if they have one though, so not totally sure what I gain outweighs what I lose…

Monthly review time, and it’s not pretty. In fact, in terms of $$$ loss this is easily the worst month I’ve ever had (although that was only possible because the prior months were the best I’ve ever had);

Despite stopping the hemorrhaging I haven’t been able to turn it around yet – my decision to grind out 500 $10 games is taking longer than I’d hoped, and being a grind is definitely the right way of describing it. Since it’s not turned into a winning run means it’s not time yet to move back – my BR is still ok for $20 games (or $30s really), but there’s no point burning more money than I need to. The grind has also slowed in the last week or so because of the frustration and having a few camping weekends, so it’s not been easy lately.

Showing how it stands for 2010 as a whole puts it into perspective – how to have a heater and then give it back;
