Been a while, feel like it's time to update...and talk to (myself, at least) about all this stuff.

Okay, right after I hit the $5k mark I hit the damn gutter and dropped to $4400, which in turn aggravated me to no end. I got so mad (and yall will probably think I was wasting time, maybe I was, maybe I needed the confidence boost), that I moved back DOWN to 25nl, and I started 11-tabling instead of my normal 9. I think this helped me clear my head and concentrate better when I moved BACK to 9-tabling. Yes, to 25nl with over 4k, talk about being overrolled. So I missed my goal for July, technically, after I hit it.

I logged about a week of 25nl, won pretty much my "normal" amount, and moved back up to 50nl the past week or so. I'm back over 5k and started sparking my SnG roll on Stars, which is making me really happy. I never made a goal for August, so I think I'm going to now.

August GOALS!:

Play 3-6 SnG's a day ($5.50s), I 3 table them when I'm playing. I really don't know much about what to expect in terms of ROI and whatnot since I'm not REALLY big into them...but I know a lot of strategy and I've been quite successful thus far anyway. My SnG roll topped $100 today. If I'm above $50 (where I started) at the end of the month, I'll be content with that. That's shooting pretty low, but hey I'm not totally serious about that money, I still consider it kind of "play" money.

I want to have a damn solid month of 50nl. I believe I figured out a problem I was having, and that was getting used to basically betting double amounts. I would lead for 75-100% of the pot on c-bets in 25nl and take down a lot of pots. In 50 I was NOT betting that much, often closer to 60-75%, so I upped my c-bet amount, and it seems my aggression and % of pots won is a lot more acceptable. I want to get to $6000 by the end of the month, including any bonuses.

Lastly I want to complete the Summer Sizzler promotion and get the $300. So far I'm perfect, that should be a fairly easy goal to attain. That's it for now, any encouragement or advice is very welcome.

Edit: Oh, forgot. I have been getting a very bad itch to try 25nl 6-max, so I think I'm going to make a stab at it and see how it goes.
