With June now over, I am very much looking forward to July, and this is not just bc of the obvious reason that I ran well in June.

I have been offered and accepted a full-time job in NY, which I start on the 12th. This will be the first time in four years that I have had a 'real' job to go along with poker income. I will certainly be playing less poker, but I think that will be a good thing. Cashing out has always been a problem for me, as I have never been able to keep my br intact, and when the inevitable downswing hits, I have on numerous occasions been forced to drop down levels.

borgata game

played a $100+20 sng at borgata in Atlantic city thursday evening, which was my first live casino tourney. i had previously only played cash games down there .

here's how it went down: The game played like a turbo and the blinds started at 25/50 and doubled with each round. 50/100, 100/200, 200/400 etc..even faster than a turbo online. slight adjustment so had to get aggro sooner than I'm used to. Rounds were 10 minutes to start but then went to 15 minutes around the 6th level. 3000 starting stacks. 60 bbs - 10 handed

Turbos so far

I am continuing my experiment into the turbos this month, and so far I have kept an roi similar to my roi in the non-turbos. Only been about 200 games so far, but I'll keep going with these for about 500 more and see where I am at.

Mid July

A little more than halfway thru July, I'm still continuing with the turbos as I get adjusted to my new job and the new/lighter playing schedule.

So far, I am quite happy with the way it has gone this month. I'm playing with a much better mindset and really enjoying the time I put in at the tables. The grind has ceased. Away we go...

July

Been on the new job for three weeks now, and all is going well with that and poker. My games played is a bit lower than in previous months, but I've made up for that by leaving my roll intact and moving up the stakes little by little.

I played 17 fifty dollar sngs of my 330 games for the month. I should be able to continue the rise gradually heading into August. I've been game selecting pretty well lately, and its definitely been a big help. No reason to play a 9 handed game with 4-5 other solid players in it.
