As far as a general recap of July, hmm. The results ended up being pretty good. Not my best poker month ever but in the top five. The odd thing is that my general sense of the month isn't one of success, when everything went my way, but more of failure, or near failure.
The lesson there is that I still haven't quite gotten my noggin' around playing at higher limits yet, as far as actual dollar figures involved. I'm getting better about divorcing myself from attachment to the money involved, as I know in the end it'll all smooth itself out, but I still have much work to do. What sticks out in my head are the junk kicking sessions, especially the stretch from 7/16 to 7/19, and not the slow, steady accumulation of profitable days. Which is odd, given that overall I had 11 losing days and 18 winning days.
Moving forward, there's not much I plan on doing differently, other than keep on keeping on. I do think the decision to play some 5/10 towards the end of the month was a good one, especially when I'm tired or just not psychologically ready to possibly drop $1,000, which has to date been my worst day at 15/30. I also may toy with the idea of setting myself a stop loss of $500 for any single day. There were only a session or two when I was down that much or more and staged a comeback, and more sessions when I kept stubbornly playing, inflicting more pain on myself and not playing optimally.
I'm also still just playing a single table at a time, so I may bump that up to two tables this month. I'm not really worried about being able to concentrate on two tables, just more concerned about potential fluctuation and variance. Have to make that leap sometime, though, so I'll probably start working in additional tables this month.

That's a pretty good month by just about any standard for someone with a day job.
I'm working on having a four-figure month to supplement the trip to LA. They used to be commonplace for me, but my game has been on ice, at least from a variance standpoint, for about 90 days.
One another note, I am absolutely beating the hell out of River Belle. If only they would get their act together and release the bonus on a regular basis. Still, I'm looking at cashing out almost a grand from them alone.
What a last week. Way to finish it out in style. I also had a good final week. You still don't forget the bad variance days/weeks; but at least it helps to end on a good note.
I'm just starting my River Belle.. we'll see how it goes. My first foray into autoplay. It was a little awkward at first. I'm sure that I will get used to it.
