August News & Notes

Not much to report this month. I've been working a ton of hours, including a few days past 7pm, so I haven't been playing much poker. And if you've been paying attention to my last few posts, then you've noticed that things haven't been going smoothly.

When I have been playing, it's been mostly the daily donkaments with a little $4/$8 O-8 or $1/$2 PLO-8 mixed in. I haven't played NL cash since the July 4th weekend. No particular reason for it, and I haven't given up on NL. I'll probably go back to NL cash soon for one simple reason...

I'm getting pummeled in donkaments lately.

In July, I played in 14 of the daily tournaments, along with one freeroll and a larger tournament. I had a total of three small cashes ($260, $185, $140), along with a single Bounty cash of $20. That's a ROI of -58.8%

And it's not just the fact that I'm losing money. I'm also out early in most of these events, sometimes even before the first break. 35/36, 60/105, 7/8, 16/34, 25/37, 50/60, 20/25, 15/38, 23/33, 16/21, 75/80, & 19/34.

I understand variance, The Law Of Large Numbers, and all that shit, but this is really starting to get annoying.
