End of Week 1

We're a week into July so here's a summary:

-$775 playing

+$75 Ironman Mid-Year bonus

+$543 RB (siiiiick)

This puts me nearly breakeven, which is not great, but given how poorly I ran the entire week I think I just have to take it on the chin and grind through it. On the plus side, I picked up on a few huge leaks in my game which I seem to have plugged pretty well the last couple of days.

Today's session was again, very frustrating - made money, lost money back etc... I won't go into all the gory details cause that's boring, here's a HH that pretty much sums it up:

Full Tilt Poker $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

MP: $19.25
Hero (CO): $57.15

UTG: $67.85

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is CO with K K
2 folds, Hero raises to $1.75, 2 folds, BB raises to $3, Hero raises to $10, BB calls $7

Final Pot: $114.55
Hero shows K K (a pair of Kings)
BB shows 9 9 (a straight, Jack high)
BB wins $111.55
(Rake: $3.00)

Anyways, RB seems to be pretty huge - I've never got this much RB in a week before, and it was about 2/3 50NL, so once I'm back at SSNL it should be pretty sick making $1k/week in RB alone. I might end up moving to Stars for 2011, if I'm playing mainly 200NL by then - depending on how I'm feeling at the time, I *might* make a run at SNE, although it's probably worth moving there anyways, since even 200k VPPs gets me roughly 40% RB.

I'm gonna be off to Bristol and Cardiff with my family at the weekend - in a couple months I'll be at Cardiff University as a postgrad, so I ought to go check out Cardiff and sort out accomodation etc. TR to follow of course.
