I am having so much fun playing the WSOP poker app on my smart phone. The opponents are computer controlled wackjobs, but it's fun! It's so much fun, in fact, that it hasn't bothered me that I haven't played much real poker online in a while.
I do need to get back in it, though. I'm going to be on vacation soon, so maybe I can get some games in then.

Bankroll Fixins
Unexpectedly, Full Tilt ended up paying out the Take 2 bonus in full into my account! They also ended up converting my $T (tournament credits) into cash. After all of this, my BR at Full Tilt is currently $361.22. Now I have to make some changes to my spreadsheet.
I've made some decisions on how to account for all of these changes. First off, I'm counting the Take 2 payouts as profit, similar to rake payments and such. After all, I did spend that time in order to earn the Take 2 bonus; the profit from the bonus was factored in to my decision to play. I have also decided to siphon off a tiny amount while balancing everything - $11.22 to be exact, which will leave me with $350 even.
Now here's the complicated part - I only have $100 in my Cake account at the moment, due to the fact that my funds at Full Tilt are still "inaccessible." I also didn't have the cash to put all of my money into Cake at once. To be honest, I'm not sure I want to... not sure if the money will ever make it out of Full Tilt, and if Full Tilt frees itself up to US players I will certainly be going back. Anyways...
In order to account for my activity on Cake already, I will pull $100 off of the (theoretical) Full Tilt bankroll to "pay myself back" for the loan I took to start the Cake account. That will leave me $250 to deposit into Cake, which will bring my bankroll to $347.97.
Make sense?
Basically, it's going to look like I made $50 profit out of nowhere. And I kinda did with the Take 2 bonus, but it won't show up on my True Player Profit. That's why I make the two sections on my spreadsheet - to see how much profit I've made, and to see how much profit I've made by playing only.
I know, I know.... tl;dr. But I just needed to get this all out, so I wouldn't be accused of doctoring the books.
Okay then! On with our lives, shall we? :)
EDIT: After all of that, I realized that I built the spreadsheet in order to keep my "misc profits" out of my regular profits. So the above post was mostly pointless, except to explain why my BR jumped from ~$300 to ~$350. I'm still using my total BR for game limit selection. So there.

Irritated
The Cake Poker cash games are annoying to me. After playing cash in Rush Poker on Full Tilt for so long, everything seems slow in comparison. However, CP's games seem to run even slower than a normal ring game at Tilt. Maybe it's my netbook not possessing the processing speed or whatever, but playing during my meal breaks at work is irritating me a little bit.
Last night, I spent my meal break playing at two 4nl cash tables. I found myself getting bored and making plays I wouldn't normally make just for the sake of having something to do. I ended up -1/4 BI... no big deal, but obviously a product of my boredom.
To make sure I keep the fun in poker, I will most likely allow myself to get into some play money games while at work. I will save the real money games for when I have time at home to play. I'll be sticking with the SNGs (which hold my attention much better than the slow cash games), or maybe the cash games will run better on my home computer. Either way, I'm trying to cut down on my restlessness and have some fun!
