I'm jumping ship for now to cash games -- experimenting with a HUD, and makes so much more sense to me there for now than in a tournament structure.

Good luck to all!

6 live tournaments in August, 1 2nd place was my only cash, made 1 other final table, -$56. Still in the top25 in wsop ME tournament points though which is good since I miss so many tournaments each month. Local card club has 4 tournaments a week and earn points for final tabling. In June there is a WSOP ME satellite that top 63 players compete for a ME seat, last year the prize pool was $31K.

8 live ring game sessions, not a single winning session, -$1263 , If I could have avoided 2-4 outters on 5 hands I would have been +$3K for the month, ah well such is variance.

Gonna miss a week+ in Sept. due to vacation so volume will be much reduced but I am looking forward to a short break.

Two months in a row I have started the month ok, only to crash just before the finnish line.
Time for a change this month.

Hi folks, I'm back!
Playing cash for a few weeks seems to have improved my early tournament game. Letting marginal hands go, c-betting plenty, and playing position. I'm finding I need about 40 hands on a player for their HUD stats to start to stabilize, but those are coming in handy as well.
It's been a good reminder that there is always more to learn, and room to improve.
Gonna try to grind some 5-table turbos tonight, if there is enough traffic...

Last time CJ start the thread was in May. He was MIA after BF. Just come from time to time to say Hi.

Goals for the month is to not play any more donkaments and focus on cash. Only game allowed is the 210fpps for the Sunday Storm to get $11T, 1/1 this month.

I've got ~20 on my list to play in today (8 of them are priv. mtt). Might add in a few more.. or few less. Depends on how I'm doing/feeling. Might drop a few & add a couple $100+ .... heading to McD's for some breakfast, reboot the modem & then get into manic mode & start playing.

Sunday's I seem to typically run bad.... here's hoping it's different today.
Wishing some rungood on all others who are playing today.

cuz there's kind of a perverse addiction to building a stack, going pretty deep & then going busto to a donking?? (I don't know... I haven't figured it out yet myself). It is kinda fun though when you're running to the washroom then grabbing another coffee on 6th break, while occassionally glancing at the payouts.
The wind down after gettin' KO'd kinda sucks though :(

I really like this post PO. Can't come up with a feasible psychological exp.
