The last 2 months have been a big roller coaster that ends up with me pretty much treading water. I am ahead a little under $200 during that time period, but I have also received $350+ in rakeback and a $125 bonus from FullTilt. So I have actually lost money in my play, but have recovered it from rakeback and bonuses. It shows you the importance of having rakeback!!!
I have experimented with loosening up my game over this time period, and the positive is I haven't experienced a major downswing, but I like to win more than I like to lose...so I need to better observe the play at each table and adjust my play accordingly to help maximize my profits. Playing LAG against other LAG's can be a difficult chore...especially for those adjusting to the style.
I did catch a major hee haw last night for 2+ buyins...

Better play...
Won $91.65 in 963 hands to increase bankroll to $6904.34. I did tighten my play back to 18/15/3 and performed much better without much controversy.
Nice call here...

Making good decisions....
8321 hands have been played since my last update on July 4th and I have lost $379.85. I have added $125 from a FT ironman mid-season bonus so my bankroll stands at $6812.69.
I was all ready to make the official jump to 100nl, but have encountered a downturn in my play...Poker is one of the craziest games I have ever experienced, as it can make you believe you are playing terrible when you are making good decisions and make you believe you are playing great when you are making bad decisions.
Below is an example of bad play paying off...A player had 3-bet several times and it was time for me to stand up and 4-bet him in return. He shoves all in making me call $31 to win$39.75 or 1.28/1 odds to call. I put his range on 1010+, AQ+. Which makes me an 68/32 underdog. I would need to be a 57/43 underdog to have the correct pot odds for the call. But like I was saying...sometimes the we get rewarded when we make the wrong plays.

Going back and checking my positional stats...I'm losing money UTG and UTG +1...and that should never happen. I think my opening ranges have become too wide and I'm not able to play well enough post-flop out of position when I blank the board.
My VPIP has increased to near 23% the past month or so which is an indicator of my widened open range. To play this loose, I must become better at recognizing players and situations according to the board that allows me to 2-barrell and possibly 3-barrell bluffs. And for the most part...I don't think that style fits very well (-EV) into the low-limit stakes.
Soooooooo, I look to tighten my opening ranges from UTG and UTG+1 to hopefully keep me out of trouble post-flop.
I have heard through the local rumor mill that local young man is going to make a go of Sports betting as a career in VEGAS. WoW! With the internet and the ease of betting online...I'm not sure why he would put himself in such a (-EV) life situation as living in Las Vegas. A person needs to be a good decision maker in order to succeed in Vegas. His track record doesn't fit that mold, but I wish him the best with his endeavor! My degenerate side envies him a little, but I just think there are too many distractions and money pits in Vegas to succeed even if he makes money betting sports.
I was all ready to make the official jump to 100nl, but have encountered a downturn in my play...Poker is one of the craziest games I have ever experienced, as it can make you believe you are playing terrible when you are making good decisions and make you believe you are playing great when you are making bad decisions.

Mid-Season update...
Ok...I am 6 months into my current project and have a moderate amount of success. My last bankroll post was back on May 23 and I have won $143.90 since that date...I was on a slight downswing, but have recovered it over the last two weeks. I have also received $336.39 in rakeback for the months of May and June...so the bankroll sits at $7067.54.
I have won a little over $3000 in the last 6 months, and the majority of the winnings has come at 50NL. However, If I am going to make it to 16K by the end of the year I will need to have the mojority of my play at 100nl and 200nl.
I look forward to the challenge and I believe I should get in a good quantity of play once we get past labor day.
Shout out to Willing2die as he enters the WSOP Main Event this weekend for Day 1 of the tournament. GL sir and TID!!! One hand at a time...give 'em hell!!!
