Robusto again!

Well, it's not all doom and gloom after all, I've been on a bit of a heater lately:


Obviously $1250 after RB is not a great month but I think over the past couple of weeks I've got a lot better. Moving from 12 tables to 6 tables was a bit easier than I thought it would be, and I've been spewing waaaaay less, as well as running a lot better.

Given that I've dropped to 6 tables I think I'm gonna abandon my goals for now and just focus on playing better and moving up since it should be a lot more worthwhile in the long run than just trying to grind the hell out of 100NL right now. There's definitely a compromise to be struck between quality and quantity but I think I'd rather get better first and start grinding more once I'm confident I can beat 200NL, taking some shots at midstakes. My immediate goal is to get my lifetime total at 100NL 6max above BE - PTR has me down about $500 so it shouldn't be too long until I'm officially a winning player lol.

If it continues to go well at 100NL I probs won't spend too long there and will try to push myself into taking shots at 200NL which I'm well rolled for. Progress has been slow the past couple months so I really want to avoid stagnating.

Anyways, that was August out the way so here's some of my fave HHs from this month:
