Since I'm not happy with the rake changes and exchange fees at Pokerstars, I decided to check out some alternative poker sites. And someone told me to check out 888poker, which I've been doing over the last couple of days.
The rake changes at PS won't affect me much, but I worry that this is just the beginning. So I'm doing my tiny bit to tell PS that they will lose players if they continue making unfavorable changes. There are other alternatives out there.
So far I'm not 100% sure what I think of 888poker. It's different, that's for sure. And I really enjoyed getting the sigh up bonus. They started me off with $2 in cash and six $1 tournament tickets. If you play and achieve a certain amount of points within the first 90 days, they'll give you a total of $88 in cash and tickets.
Yesterday I tried sitting down for one of their Snap cash games (the same as Zoom on PS). I only played 6 hands because the whole layout confused me.
Today I've played six Sit and Gos. I cashed in 4 out of them and got knocked out early in the other two with KK vs AA and straight vs better straight. The games do seem softer than at PS though,
and there are less traffic there.
And my cash bankroll is up to $8.98. So I decided to make this a separate BR project, but I'll still continue with my project on PS as well.
I've also played some FPP satellites over at PS, winning two of them. One gave me a ticket to the first Micro Millions event, which I'll play. The other was for a Sunday special tournament which I took out in T-money.
I'll be grinding for the $13.08 project later today. Fingers crossed that I'll make my goals for this month :)
If you've finished reading through my scrambled thoughts, then I wish you the best of luck at the tables. And if you have any other poker sites for me to check out, let me know.

PS. I would also really appreciate it if any of you could help me go through some hand history. I'm always aiming to improve.
