I deposited $600 onto Pokerstars. I have played 15000 hands. I have an EV Net of $321.60 at 9.39bb/100, and a Net Won of $643.95 at 18.47bb/100.

However I don't have $1243.95, on my account. I'm at $2572.33.

Why is that? Because I am taking advantage of all the ways I can achieve rake back. I'm actually getting more rake back than I'm paying into the site right now ($738.49) because some of the leader boards don't have enough people play in them so it's essentially free money. Probably getting a little lucky as well.

Something to think about.

That's very impressive, so your rakeback was double your winnings, or 4x if you weren't running hot!
I also find the rakeback makes a big difference, though not to the same extent as you have managed. Are these PLO games where there are not enough players for the leaderboard? As I find all NLHE games have way more players than paid palaces so it's just a bonus now and again.

No doubt your monthly challenge rakeback challenge chest will get downgraded to 10% soon, like it did for me!

I am playing on Pokerstars Ontario specifically PLO. NLH seems to have quite a few people playing but PLO feels like barely anyone plays. It has been picking up a bit recently though so I guess the leaderboards have been doing their trick.

No I am not, monthly challenges are part of the Ontario client unfortunately.
