Stagnet

I really haven't played much at all in the past couple of weeks. I had a really bad session last night....the kind that makes you wonder why I even play this game. Then I had a decent couple of sessions today, kind of stopping the bleeding from yesterday. I have tried playing some $.50/$1 heads up and was doing fairly well until one of my opponents decided to hit and run after they got lucky and then I titled a bit. I just need to stick to 4 tabling the $.25/.50 games right now, since I seem to play my best there. I am up $121 this month, so a winning month is a good month. I need to really get my rakeback account set up. I figured that the little bit I have played of the last 2 months, if I did have a rakeback account, I would have earned an extra $72. That all adds up in the long run and it only gets higher the higher stakes you play. Who doesn't like free money?

Good Start

Well I just logged a session, my first one for August and I did fairly well. I played almost 500 hands and was +$121.80. I was involved in and won one of the weirdest hands every. I will post that later.

Monthly goal $500.00
Cash earnings +$121.80
Difference -$378.20

Lackluster End of the Month

I had a bad end of the month in July. At one point during the month I was up almost $600 in cash games. I proceeded to lose almost 4 buy-ins in the last 3 days of the month. Some of it was bad luck, but some of it was also really bad play on my part. Again I need to slow down and take my time to analyze the hand and the action. When I do this I seem to have better results. So for the month I ended up +387.00. Not horrible, but not where I was hoping to be. I continue to play horrible at tourneys, so I think I will scratch them for a while.

My August goal is to make $500 playing cash games and SNG's again. I will be playing the $6.50 turbos on Stars and Full Tilt. I will also try and play about 5k hands in cash games. ( I played about 3.5k in July) I will try and give updates 2-3 times a week on the challenge.
