Winners or Losers???

[Scamp]

Hi. Long time lurker, first time poster.

I've only been playing for about 8 months and never kept any records. I figured that I'd only deposited once and while I had more than that $100 then I was ahead. Recently, however, I was curious to know how much of my winnings were from my mad skillz and how much came from bonuses. I was pleased that not all my profit was from bonuses but disappointed to discover that from a play perspective, Party is killing me (even though I'm well in the black there). Need to fix that as it's a blemish on my otherwise respectable spreadsheet.

I honestly wouldn't even bother determining which money is from what, the bottom line is bonus money is still increasing your roll.

I was pretty sure I was beat, just not positive. Pot was too big too not call down.

Hey Scamp... Thanks for finally posting. We've got lots of lurkers around here that I wish would turn into active posters. Welcome!

As for your question, I don't believe PT handles bonuses at all. It is unaware of them.

[Scamp]

Thanks for having me! While I doubt that I'll be as active as a lot of the posters here, I figure that I won't improve as much as I'd like to without at least asking some questions.

For the record the PT question was actually from 2Tone.

Well it's not so much a spreadsheet as modified TiddlyWiki page, but yeah, I have a separate bonus column, just so I know.

Off topic, but speaking of winning.....I just had about a 30 minute poker session playing at the 3/6 NL tables (I now vary between 2/4 and 3/6) before the table broke up and I decided to make it a short and very sweet night and head to bed. My stats

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 21 hands and saw flop:
- 2 out of 3 times while in big blind (66%)
- 1 out of 3 times while in small blind (33%)
- 3 out of 15 times in other positions (20%)
- a total of 6 out of 21 (28%)
Pots won at showdown - 4 of 4 (100%)
Pots won without showdown - 2

Literally a perfect session, every single hand I didn't fold preflop I won with (never had a PFR of mine not have a caller)

Came out +$925

-Semi bluffed a 381 dollar pot with a flush draw on the turn.
-Had KK vs QQ (player was all in) 216 dollar pot
-AK vs AJ, player hit J (TP) on flop and called my continuation bet, king came on turn and called me putting him all in $434 pot
- called a PFR with 67s (4 total people in the flop) flops 668. guy with A8s bets, I raise he pushes i call.....$695
Plus two small pots, a $12 SB/BB where I bet he folded, and a $57 hand which I showed down 2 pairs aces and tens and won with 109 (A,A,3,10,7)

MAN.....on fiiiiiiiiiiiiiire

[Talking Poker]

Wow. Hell of a session!

[robthedlphin]

I'm glad someone is. I sat at Party this morning for 2 1/2 hours, saw 6 flops, won 2.

With me it seems I'm getting nothing but AA, AK, or 72, 83

If you're keeping a spreadsheet, just have a seperate one for bonuses and deduct it from your roll to determine your poker skill.

Oh, and welcome aboard, stick around a while will ya !
