Lame Lame July

Well that was a pretty shit month. In the end I won about $65 and ran at 0.23 BB/100. Impressive. I don't think I played badly, particularly towards the end of the month, but it just wasn't happening. It seemed like a had to fold a lot of strong hands as well as getting no action on my big pairs/sets etc. Pretty frustrating. The good news is that I did manage to get enough points to reach Gold level on Stars.

Hand of the month

It was a very tough month, and I really feel like I need a change from Stars. The players are so tight, and with me being pretty nitty, it doesn't really work. So I need to play for a couple for hours to earn my $240 bonus and to get enough points to get £250 and then I'm off to new waters. It's not easy to find a good site - I want somewhere with enough players and good enough software that I can multi-table well, and with loosey-goosey players. We'll see if I can find it.

June is Over

So, as the graph clearly shows, June has not been good. It took a while for me to get used to this looser strategy and I seem to tilt a lot more when I am playing like this but hopefully I am beginning to get it under control and I can start showing some nice positive months again. Overall I am down about $170 as rakeback and MTT entries pretty much evened out. I'm not too disappointed, not long ago I was over $400 down so it could be worse. But I did play a lot of hands this month and I really should be doing better than minimising my losses.

My final VP$IP and PFR stats for June were 19/15. So I didn't hit my target, but I am a but looser and this was key. If I can increase my PFR stats so I am playing something like 18/16, I think I should be on to a winner.

Biggest pot of the month - not much to say - ideal.

This month I will grind some more at $50NL, hopefully hit Gold Star (unlikley as I am going on holiday for a week, but I am playing 12 tables now) and hopefully show a nice winrate. This is the main thing. I need a good month to get my confidence back to its peak. Losing nearly 16 buy-ins in a short space of time did mess up my game a lot, but a nice winning month will go a long way to fixing that.
