Need to write one before I slack off. This month was not good for me. I played only half of the volume compared to July, and "variance"/"downswing" are ruining my motivation to play.
I started to play on two separate websites, SealsWithClubs (bitcoin poker waddup) and Bovada. I have around 500 chips (0.5 BTC, which is around $250), and I am playing 10NL/20NL there (which is in USD around 5NL/10NL), and still building up the bankroll on Bovada at 5NL. Multi-tabling-wise, I started off doing 3 tables of Bovada and 3 tables of Seals and I found myself not able to keep up with the actions. So I dialed down to around 4-5 tables, depending on traffic. Session length is about the same from last month (~2 to 4 hour sessions every day, split between a morning session and an evening session).
I think all these little changes made my game unstable last month.
1. I am playing half anonymous tables, half normal tables
2. I am mixing stakes
3. I am playing more tables than before
So I ended up playing around 5k hands for the month, which is LOL. I was a bit busy with work, and just finished moving to a new place. Was quite a hectic month :O
Graphs:
+ Show Spoiler +
Bovada - Break Even (although it does say netting up $9, I think I missed some HHs from last week because I took down my desktop and didn't download the HH on time)
Seals - Started off pretty well with +50 chips, then went all the way down hill. At the last couple of days I won some back but dropped off again 
I think my problem is still calling too much I kept having this thought where people are always raising/betting with weaker hands, and I just want to figure out and call them down with TPTK/TP/one pair hands trying to bluff-catch.
Things I am going to work on:
1. fold more
2. call less
3. play more hands
4. play fixed amount of tables (4) and fixed stakes (5NL on Bovada until I can take shots, 10NL on Seals for the whole month)
Going to start selling the plugin I wrote for Seals that enables them to use HEM/PT (currently only tech-savvy people like me and someone else can do this lol, going to see if I can capitalize it and make some money for playing poker haha)
Cheers
