I can't seem to keep afloat at $100NL. Although over the last 4k hands I've only lost $16, which is an improvement.

Still, at $50NL I made $236 in 1.5k hands... it's sick. Why does $100NL hate me?

Over the course of the month I lost $1063 at SHNL, 12k hands.
Made $44 at FR$100NL (258 hands)
Made $5 at FRLHE ($1/2) (310 hands).

I cleared approximately $645 in bonus.

My BR as I make it is $2032 (down $397 this month)
It'll be somewhat offset by the rakeback ($250-odd) but still a bad month; I'm now behind on my 7k5 plan.

I'll be back on Thursday to see if I can do anything at $100NL this month... how much more punishment can I take before I have to move down?

Tune in next month to find out...
