July/August:

Poker has been on the back-burner the past two months due to relocating slap-bang in the middle of the busiest period in my old job. I’m settled into the new place now though and really happy with the move. I just need to find a new job in the coming weeks, but I’ll be okay as long as I get something by the start of October.

The upshot of being busy the past couple of months as far as poker is concerned has meant that when I have played, I’ve slipped back in to some old ways (calling down too much, over-adjusting versus aggressive players, 18-tabling WAY to much just to get my fix). That said, it seems to be only 50nl where I find that a problem to my bankroll these days, with live play, <=25nl and mtts profitable irrespective of my mood.

What did I earn?

Cash 50nl: $(607) (29k hands played in 26 hours)
Cash 25nl: $201 (14k hands played in 11 hours)
Cash Live: $260 (approx. 8 hours played over two sessions)
Mtts: $18 (6 played in front of the telly one night, ave. BI $6)
FTR football comp: $(20)
Rakeback: $50

TOTAL LOSS: $(98)

BANKROLL: $5.9k


In September, I’m going to be playing a bunch of 25nl with some 50nl. It’s going to be difficult to play live since there is no casino in my new town (what?!), but central London is now 40 minutes away if I get desperate. I'm beginning to wonder if I should just settle at beating 25nl given the time I've got available to progress, but I'll save those thoughts for another post.
