Lets catch up:
After playing hard at the beginning of the year, I took it easy from March until May. I made enough to pay my bills and maintain my BR. I have been playing with a shorter than normal roll, at least for me, for a while as too much poker will burn me out. I started this month with 45 BIs for 1/2.

!/2 this month:
Everything started fine as I went up 7.5 BIs right away. Then doomswitch was flipped and I lost 30 BIs without blinking an eye. I wasn't playing great, but not 30 BIs bad either. My net at 1/2: -$4700.

.5/1 this month:
After some cashouts and the downswing I moved down. I went up an easy 20 BIs as the tables are much easier at this level. Then it happened, another 25 BIs downswing, right after cashing the $2400 June Bonus, only this time I was playing well. I started back up the climb this weekend only to have fallen off again to the tune of -13 BIs the last couple sessions. It has been a pretty bad run as I have won only 4 preflop flips in my last 50k hands, and lost my last 8 in a row. Net at .5/1: -$600.

My total roll now sits at a robust $2800. I somehow have gone from being a 3.5 ptbb/100 winner at 1/2 for the past 2 years like clockwork, to now having a borderline .5/1 roll.

The Plan:
Continue to grind hard until I turn this around. I am going to have to practice aggressive BR management, less than $2500 will require a move down to .25/.50. At $5000 I will take 5 BI shots at 1/2. Rinse and repeat until I get this sorted out or I go Busto.
