July was a shit month

Ended the month $3900 up, proper gutted really, I have been playing high stakes this month $500 and $1k sngs and I have ran so bad in them. Just general shit like PP vs overs, overs v PP, Ace face vs ace rag etc just lost all of that stuff. Played a bit out of my bank roll really and will be taking a step back this month and back to the grind. Thailand is in less than 45 days so I need to get myself right before I head out there.

Had a long session on the horses this month, won about £4k in 2 days then lost most of it back, not really arsed to be honest its just for fun but a bit stupid really. I have got a screen shot of my monthly graph below, kind of sick really the swings this month.

Just looking over it now I had a near enough $10k down swing mid way through the month a couple of 2k, 3k and 4k down swings also. Higher stakes are sick but the rewards can be so much greater.

One thing I have realised this month is how blessed I am with the discipline I have after seeing other players just tilt day in day out and trying to teach my friend how to play I have realised that not tilting as much as I used to is such a key in this game. Some people lose 1 game and tilt for the whole day just because of 1 bad beat.

I have ran so bad in the last month and even the start of this month but I have managed to keep my head for most of it and I know long term it will pay off for me.



Going to stay in for the whole month near enough this month, put the hours in and hopefully reap the rewards.

Good luck at the tables!
