Ok so second blog post, I've been trundling away playing .01/.02c and have built my roll to around $100. Took a few shots at .02/.05 here and there after about $85 which has mostly gone well so far, but I've only really been playing on tables that I think have totally terrible people. I am still swapping back and forth between 0.02/0.05 and 0.01/0.02 depending on how the tables are, so I'm not exclusively playing 2/5 just yet.

In my last blog post someone mentioned that you can get HEM by signing up to different poker sites with a deal, and I was just interested as to how that works tbh. From looking at the offer, you get a kind of redeemable e-voucher thing to buy stuff in the HEM store and some of the sites give you more than others.

Would stars be best to sign up with to get this voucher? As far as I'm aware (I don't play on Stars), all of the Stars bonuses and rakeback etc come from actually playing there and getting volume rather than affiliate orientated rakeback like FTP? Is this right?

Also the Stars token is only $75 credit whereas HEM itself is $90. However the small stakes version is $40 which is totally coverable by the voucher, and I'm not going to have to worry about moving past .25/.50 any time soon at all, so I'm not entirely sure what to do.

And if I get HEM this way, that does give a full copy of HEM and not some lame crap like I can only use it on Stars or something? I'm just kinda dubious because there is usually a catch to these things somewhere along the line.

I'm not really that desperate to get it anyway, yes it would probably help but I don't think I really need it yet however I'd like to be able to use it in conjunction with reasonable note taking that I do regardless and it will let me analyse my game better for the future too I think.

Cheers all!

Oh btw-- you're multitabling right? I read your last blog post and you said how it was going really slow-- if you open 20 tables or whatever the limit is for you right now and play solid ABC poker and tight preflop, you should be moving up very very very quickly.
