Ouch...

So, at the end of last month I started at $100NL, quickly lost $500 and then won it back.

This month has been going exactly the similar. I lost another $600 on Party, moved to FTP and won $500 of it back. Then I lost another $500 on FTP, leaving me at -$600 for the month.

I do actually think I'm playing pretty well, and have had some nasty hands (Losing 99 v AA on a Q-9-2 flop, Losing AK v QQ on a A-7-4 flop and having 7-4 v 9-7 on a KJ5-8-6 board) but really it's standard variance. I often went on 6 buy-in downswing at $50NL. However, earlier this month I withdrew about $1200 to pay for Christmas, and the bankroll is now getting dangerously close to $4k.

So basically the plan is to keep playing $100NL and hope to win. If I don't win, and I drop below $4k, I will have to move back down to $50NL until the bankroll is back to $4.5k.

Wish me luck!
