Cake Poker Oktoberfest
October is rolling along nice and smoothly. We’re having our first taste of snow and it’s also Turkey weekend here in Canada. I’m looking forward to visiting with family and having a great meal. Happy Thanksgiving!!
My poker play this month has been pretty much focused on blasting away at Cake Poker. They are currently running a promotion called Oktober ChipFest. The deal for me is that I need to clear 500 frequent player points in order to receive a free entry into a $10,000 freeroll on Oct 17th. If I clear another 500 points, I will receive 300% more gold chips during the second half of October. Well as of last night, I have cleared 1100 points in the month so all requirements met.
The $0.50/$1.00 cash games have also been very fruitful for me. My balance at Cake is up over $700 so far this month and it is all due to cash games. Once my bankroll reaches $2000 at Cake, I plan to move up once again to the $1.00/$2.00 tables. I have a feeling that this will be the highest I go at Cake due to the limited number of higher stakes tables. So my goal for Cake is to reach $3000 and have any winnings beyond that point withdrawn at the end of each month. My most likely next stop will be Poker Stars due to the large number of players (number #1 in the industry) and bonus options. I hope to reach this point by the end of the year.
