I just found out my laziness last month cost me $400.  I get 27% back of all the fees I pay to the online casino (called "rakeback").  My rakeback most months is $3-4+K (depending on how much I play).  In addition, I get another sum from the rake races (run by the rakeback company - not the poker site) - basically, the top rake generators get an additional sum.  Usually, I'm in the top 15 of the rake races, which results in a $1+K bonus.  For Feburary, I was less than 30 minutes of play short of getting the last $1K spot.  Not sure why there's such a steep drop-off between positions 17 and 18.  Must be more doomswitching from posting my January graphs.  Doh!

In case you're curious, the top guys don't play 3-4x as many hours as I do - I believe most of them play high stakes single table tournaments and pay an absurd amount of rake a month.  The only person who regularly plays with me in the fullring games is RobSainter.  He's probably the most consistent winningest multitabling reg.  I only recognize a few other names from 6max - I'll probably get to know them later in the year.

WHAT'S NOT FOR DINNER?

Mrs. Fly is super about taking suggestions for dinners. I've been hinting to Mrs. Fly that I want some king crab legs - I always crave stuff I haven't had in a while. Now that the diet's started, I need something to replace some of the red meat. It's been 3 weeks of hinting and no crab legs. I feel like I'm talking to Full Tilt's customer service, who is notoriously slow. I get an automated acknowledgement, but I see no resolution to my satisfaction. I wonder if FTP Doug or FTP Sean (customer service reps on the 2+2 bulletin boards) can help out in this matter.
