After I wrote my mid-July blog entry about my bad run, I was literally in poker hell. I had just come back from Vegas, I was sick as a dog, and I didn’t put much volume in playing online. And to add to that, with the little volume that I did get in, I was losing miserably. However, I must say that I made a very solid recovery in the second 2 weeks of July. As you can see from my graph below, I was in the pits around July 13th or so at -$1633 or so for the month. Fortunately, I took a deep breath, slowed down, and played myself out of my hole to make about a $3K recovery and end the month up $1569. To add to that, I played yesterday on Aug 1st and grinded out another 4.5 buy ins, or $950 or so. So by adding that win to my second half of July, I’m pleased to say that I made a nice $4K bounce back or upswing if you will. (Please click on graph for larger view)

Hopefully, this trend will continue as I am feeling really confident in my game right now. The only thing I am disappointed about right now is my volume of less then 17K hands in July. I know that I was recovering from Vegas and I was sick, but that is only somewhat of an excuse. I’m hoping to double that volume or at least play 30K hands in August. However, I don’t want to sacrifice playing my best just to get extra volume. For example, I did not play tonight because I feel that tonight I am just not focused after a long day at work (and a long “hungover” weekend, lol). I plan on hitting it up again tomorrow after the WSOP on ESPN when I am more focused and motivated.
Well, that’s about it for now. Here’s to hoping my hot streak continues over a larger sample size. Here’s to also hoping that US legislation changes and the ocean becomes a little more, umm, populated! See you at the tables!
