With 2013 coming to a close my main focus was to figure out how to consolidate a bunch of small balances on obscure sites I rarely ever play on. With Skrill closing it's doors to Canadian players, I didn't want to leave any balances out there in limbo.
Went at it with a plan but it changed frequently, lol.
One nice surprise was seeing a small balance left on JuicyStakes, thinking I could withdrawal it then discovering it's a $150 minimum. Thought I might try to run it up from $60 but then read some forum posts saying JS players weren't even getting paid. Then got an email wiht a list of Holiday Tourneys on there, played the very first one, shipped it for $197.77, put in for a withdrawal & actually received a week later! (today, lol).
Another cool one was at myBet (iPoker site). I deposited a bit to bring the balance up high enough so I could make a withdrawal. Then they told me I'd need to verify my account with documents (I know I'd done this before!). Then they tell me I'd need to play out the amount I'd deposited. wtf? I had enough iPoker sites to play on, with a number of different special tourneys lined up that I didn't need this wrench thrown into the mix! So I figured "FU myBet!" And I went & bet it all on a women's ski race, actually shipping it at like a 21 to 1 longshot, LOL. Then put in for a withdrawal & was paid in full! (tks myBet, I only wanted my $50 but I'll take the $700 tyvm!). Did something simliar on another iPoker site, but this time I bet on a men's downhill racer from Canada... & sure enough he wins!! And again I win at something like 14to1. Love it! A great way to close out the year!
.... now if I could only get my money off of Lock Poker :( You never know though, I did actually receive an email from them today....
Only other site I still have a WD pending on now is Carbon. Decided to pull just about everything off of there aside from 2buyins for the Cardschat priv. tourneys because I do not see any easy (or cheap) method to WD funds from there going forward & I am not into dicking around anymore in that respect. And, I can always win a few bucks in the priv. freerolls on Carbon in hopes of getting to play a few more of the CC buyin games on that site.
Have a few sites to grind a bit on for january but not going to get started seriously til' probably mid-late January.
Will be posting my plans for 2014 for the pokerzz as they're going to be quite a bit different from what they have been the last couple/few years (ie. no more wasting my time playing some of the garbage private stuff & will be investing into more play/volume during the times when I am on the computer (less forum b.s., unless it is for a purpose). also going to sign-up to two training sites (part of my Christmas present) & am looking forward to that. Also .... well I'll save it for the next post, LoL.
Am getting myself a new computer... FINALLY!! I figure I deserve it & is a way to celebrate some of the money I'm pulling offline via Skrill from Dec.

Finish off 2013 fairly solidly, re-motivated for 2014!
