May 2010
Ive finished up my 10k hands for May now as well as maintaining my Contender status on UB. Here's my graph for the month:
This month I ended up taking some shots at 50NL since my bankroll got pretty inflated with bonuses coming through etc. Overall I played just under 1000 hands and came out with a small $15 profit; I'm kinda glad I took these shots though as it's desensitised me to the stakes a bit for when I do actually move up (and also confirmed that the field is still beatable).
+$110 overall, then, for my cash game efforts this month. I cleared another $60 in rakeback which i'll receive in June (I got April's rakeback midway through this month). I also received a $75 referral bonus for referring a friend to the site, came 5th in the rakebrain freeroll for $120 (so close to fulfilling my target of shipping it :P) and unlocked another $20 of my deposit bonus (which has now run out).
All told, at the end of July my bankroll stands at $1400 from the $750 I deposited. I won't be getting much volume at all in June due to exams so I've cashed out $300 for now and will stick at the 25NL a little bit, as well as playing the freeroll etc. Ive played 22.5k hands total since the move to UB and im happy with my results, though i'm aware it won't always be such plain sailing!

I never increased the tables; just variance I guess. It's ~impossible to get it into profit, made worse by the fact that UB players are complete fish. Its annoying to have to sit and pass up spots that'd be great opportunities to double/triple barrel or fire a bluff etc because you know these players simply won't fold top pair, but then that gets made up by all the times you get 3 streets of value out of your sets I guess :P
break even EV eh. How come ur redline took a dive after 4,700 or so, more tables?
