July Review

Well I guess this is my first blog, figured I'd post it at the end of July. I primarily play the low/mid-stakes 6max turbo games on Full Tilt.

Had a pretty terrible month overall, although it wasn't as bad as June. Started off with a downswing followed by a BE stretch before an upswing around the 20th, then downswing the entire last week, which puts me down for the month pre-rakeback. Got about $800 in rakeback which helps... I guess I'm officially a rakeback pro now. The slight tilt didn't help much either.

I set a goal of 1200 games for the month but fell a little short of that due to the downswing in the last week I just couldn't bring myself to put in the volume in the last few days without going on absolute monkey tilt. I'll probably play a bit less next month due to exams and other personal stuff but I'll try for 1000 games. Still trying to get on the leaderboard for the $16-$35 6max games on SharkScope! Hopefully I can get that by the end of the year if I can get a couple of good months in.

I moved down to mostly playing the $24s and $36s this month due to a terrible downswing last month and losing a lot from staking which took a big hit to my BR. Though I don't feel the games play too much differently, it really depends on the number of regs active at each stake and it feels like the $24s have more regs than any other level I know of. It also doesn't help that it seems like most of the $24 regs don't give a shit about table selection and this makes for a lot of rakeback games during peak hours.

I feel like I should go back to playing more of the $36 and $60 games, it just feels like the $24s have the most regs out of any level and almost feels as if they are harder than the $36s (the same seems to apply for 9man games based on ROI I've seen of some of the top players in those games). The $60s are tougher but I think I can beat them over a good sample size with good table selection.

Well, don't have much more to say. Run good next month one time!
