Grind on the mind!

Since i've returned from Vegas i think i've left the flat on no more than 4 occasions such is my dedication to putting some good shifts in. When i first got back the games were rediculously good even for euro hours, but they haven't been so good recently which isn't too much of a problem as im back into my usual sleeping pattern so i'll usually be grinding any hours between 6pm-4am. I managed to log 72 hours for the last 2 weeks of July which is practically like working! :D

I started well winning chunks at 3/6 making $14k in 3days, inc coming 2nd in a HU hyper turbo mtt for just over $1k. I then went on a $10k downswing over a 4day stretch which was annoying before recovering a to make a $7.2k profit for the month. It was rather stressful because i was going some crazy variance whereby i was either running insanely above EV with a high W$SD or wildly below with a low w$sd, i think my stlye is fairly low variance since i only 4-6 and play fairly TAG but basically when i got it in bad i won and when i got it in good i lost which was a mind f**K and probably led me to play sub-par in numerous sessions.

I put in a MTT grind on Sunday which started horrifically i was running badly, losing huge pots for big stacks in the mid stages of $100r, $55r and i bubbled 2x €550 EPT sats. 3 cans of red bull deep, i managed a few cashes inc the Sunday mill and $22 cubed. My night however was rescued with the last MTT i played, an 11pm $27KO turbo which i won for $4.8k or so from 1400 runners. I ran hot all the way sucking out aplenty but played the final table well applying lots of pressure in the right spots shorthanded.

I've barely done anything other than poker since i got back, went to watch England vs India in the cricket at Lords on the last day with Ben Jenkins and my flatm8 which was cool, great atmosphere. I also went to a m8's 30th bday party on Saturday night where i got rather drunk and had a good time. I'll be heading up north Monday to see family and play some golf. There is an outside chance i'll play UKIPT Edinburgh, but the following week i'll be playing GUKPT Luton for sure.
