Normally, I say how the month flew by, but this might have been the quickest month this year. It honestly feels as though the month began and then all of a sudden I woke up and the month was over. Anyways, a lot happened in June and I will do my best to recap it.
Most notably, my friends came back home for the Summer and we hung out a fair bit (especially on the weekends). There was a fair amount of boozing and partying and as a result, my health and fitness suffered. Today, I played a sesh and was tilted so I just put my runners on and got out of the house for a head clearing run. Honestly it felt good to get back to it. Also, my soccer team is not doing as well as I had hoped, but we will continue to improve and roll with the punches. Although, we need to practice more, that's for sure.
Something very important is that I finally opened up about my poker journey (including this thread) to the people closest to me. Prior to telling my sibling and friends, there had been only one other person who had seen or known about this thread. Honestly, I am still unsure as to how opening up has or will affect me, but I guess it is to be determined. In a strange way, it did feel like I was getting something off of my chest though.
On the poker front, I have been playing on multiple sites and will even be adding more sites into my arsenal. It was a pretty straightforward month as I played HUSNGs exclusively. Did not even fire one MTT. Was not tempted whatsoever, possibly because I really covet the option to just snap quit my sesh and go do something else in this Summer weather. Now, onto the results.
✫ 12$ Hypers ✫
I am essentially treating these as I used to treat 10$ Hypers and will use them to help build my bankroll and add supplementary volume and stay sharp with a good table count. I don't even mind that some weak regs sit me often as I have a decent edge on them and they make clear mistakes.
✫ 15$ Hypers ✫
Decided to play these for more volume and also to see how I would do against the field. At first, a lot of regs played me, but now most of them have backed off. Unfortunately, I ran like complete dog ****.
✫ 24$ Hypers ✫
Ideally, these would be my main source of action, but the volume just is not there so far. I battled a number of regs and some of them still sit me due to lack of action. Not really concerned about these so far, but definitely fortunate to have ran well.

Challenge: 11367$
With that said, pretty happy that I finally broke the 10k mark on the challenge so officially past 10% of the challenge. There was no update for MTTs as I did not play any and I did not know how to combine all my HUSNGs into one graph as I play on multiple sites. If anyone knows how to combine player aliases into one graph, please let me know!
Might not play tomorrow as it is Canada Day and I want to enjoy the festivities. Apart from that, the plan is to get back on the grind - poker and health. I will also continue to enjoy the Summer and take full advantage when I can. As always, thanks for reading everyone!
