I started the month playing Fixed Limit still. Then I realized there's just not as much money in that game anymore and I can't deal with the variance involved. So after about 4 days into the month I switched to SnGs. Played those for about a week and then a friend of mine was visiting and he also plays poker. In short he basically was like "Lol why don't you play NL 6max cash.. it's the most profitable." Since then I've stuck to 6mad NL cash starting back at NL25.
It's kind of hard to swallow because back in February I was NL50 reg and about to move up to NL100. But I had some rough downswings + tilt and moved back to Fixed Limit and wasted 5 months, and here we are at NL25. I've gotten better though so I guess it doesn't matter which stakes I'm playing, I know I'll get to my end of year goal which is to switch to part-time at my job once I make 50 buy-ins at NL100.
I won't post an EV graph because it's kind of sick to look at how much I "could" have won. I'm trying to not use this function at all and if there was a way to delete it from HEM I would. I've been mostly 4-6 tabling on my laptop and I just built a new desktop to use later on I just need to get a monitor for it. It will be strictly a poker machine but I will still only 6 table at max.
Here's my graph for July:
About 10k hands at NL25 + another 10k at Fixed Limit and SnGs. 20k hands isn't too bad since I work full-time, my goal for August will be 30k. We'll see if that happens though because my birthday is in August and I'll be going to Vegas :D
