1200 FPP = $4,198

For anyone reading my blog they must think I am millions up for the year, but the sad fact is when I'm losing I really can't face talking about it and would rather play, so that's partly the reason why it has been a while and I only really post when I'm winning. I'm not sure whether this should be a reason to stop blogging to avoid looking like a show-off twat (even more than usual!!) but I think for now I will keep writing and I enjoy reading other peoples posts so I can't be all selfish!!

I didn't find much time to play in July, struggling to balance leisure with "work", and probably made just under £1k which isn't enough to justify not working! I was doing really well but went on a downswing, losing a few BI at $115's and a couple more at $230's in quite horrible fashion. I kept it together but after shelling out for Vegas and sorting my room out it was technically a losing month and encouraged me to play more this month, which I have been trying to do!

I had been plugging away at the HU, but unfortunately the rematch feature is temporary unavailable (and has been for the last 2 weeks!) so that's cost me some EV. I mainly find value in the 4mans, and enjoy them despite the tilt when I lose the second round. I was plugging away quite nicely, up around $2.5k for the month, and then I did a Ptevey!!

I spun FPP's up to a big score, first winning a 1200FPP sat into a $55 tournie and finishing 6/2332 to take home just under $4.2k. Again, I'm not sure my final table strategy was that good as it was probably too aggressive, but I guess I played the whole way staying above water playing that way so it's hard to justify a change. I ended up busting after shoving Q5 with 9BB utg and getting called by AJ, only for his A to outdraw my Q on the turn. A couple of keys pots I was on the wrong side of....one monster bluff where I double barrelled and was 97% sure my opponent hit his flush on the river which he did so technically I got rivered!! The other I called an aggro opponent with third pair in a pot I should have avoided. Apart from that I played as I would want to, and was pleased to be so fearless, even if it perhaps was too fearless. Either way, I'm chuffed as with the score, mainly due to a 4week profit drive for Vegas me and Isaac were having with $50 on the line which I should hopefully ship now unless I crumble or he hits a good score.

With another 48kFPP's in the bank, I look forward to another $160k if I can carry on at my current conversion rate...that's not too ridic is it? Ty for everybody who railed, I appreciate it, and now I'm just going to keep grinding until myself, Isaac and Gamble hit the 5-star Venetian Hotel in Vegas for a ridiculous time for the first time in the NHV (Nits Hit Vegas) series!!
