haven't posted in awhile, but I have been playing. Went to a couple Phish shows over the weekend, but got back on the grind today... Had a nice downswing from the 9th to the 14th.. pretty much losing daily, but have been studying a lot lately.. Posting hands in the HUSNG forums, read mers e-book, and studying with my skype group is paying off..

I am really pleased with how i've been playing since going back and sticking with HUST's.. I don't intend to switch again.

So I completed my juice fast.. The final total was 15lbs lost and a hell of a lot more energy! I've even continued not eating meat, and am really enjoying myself.. We've been making really delicious vegetarian dishes that really do taste like their meat counter parts. So far we have done Spaghetti with "Meat" Balls, Vegetarian Sloppy Joes, and a few other things that were really delicious.. The sloppy joe's were the most impressive.. I literally couldn't tell the difference. Didn't think it was possible. Also have been running a lot. My 5k time is finally sub 40 minutes, and it feels nice.

Overall:


Today:


Bankroll: $97.57

So, this month has pretty much been a wash. I failed at pretty much every goal I set, and didn't stick to ANY games. I played everything from FR Cash, HUSNG's, DoN's, 6max ST's, 9man Turbos, and never got anything going. Today is my last day on the grind before I leave for vacation, and I'm setting myself up to make some BIG changes in the way I'm playing poker. I HAVE to stick with a game.

While, all my play over the years has mostly come in HU game types, I think I'm going to make an official switch and play strictly the micro stakes FR Cash games on merge. My rakeback deal makes it much better for me and I can continuously get in the amount of volume I'm looking for. I also have a small amount of time to play each day(1-2hrs), i'm able to waitlist every table running and get a good session up and going each day and get 1k-2k hands in with no problem. Where as with SNG's I found myself registering for them all and only getting 20 games a day in.

I will be playing 4NL FR Cash, pretty much all of July and have been playing the last few days of June. Moving up when I have 50BI for a given stake. I will take shots @ 10NL when I hit $500 roll.

This month was completely break even, slightly losing after RB, but I have been putting in hours studying, just not correctly, and jumping around games has only made it worse. My only goals for june are the following;

July Goals :
[ ] Play only FR Cash
[ ] 35,000 Hands(roughly 1k a day, but I have a few days vacation which i'll be alone and can get some massive volume in!)
[ ] Profit

I will grind today, then take time off until July 2nd as i'm going on vacation to Alpine Vallye/Lake Geneva/PHISH! , and get back on the grind when i return.
