I am still grinding the $15 SNG's but not too any great volume which is disappointing. I have the last two months at 750 games and 500 games. While it felt like I was putting in lots of time, the real grinders are managing 3000 per month, which is just way beyond me unfortunately. I am maintaining close to 8% ROI which I am pleased with but I have gone down to just 6 tables. I find that when I am playing 9 or 12, I have a bad run of cards and suddenly I am doing my tits, wheereas when I play 6 tables, I notice my downswing sooner and rest for a while before my next set. Do need to get back to 9 tables at least though.
I am heading towards my target of $2500 before I head up to the $33 games but I have had a lot to pay out for from my bankroll over the last couple months.
Being a Poker Player Aint Cheap!
Firstly, I purchased HEM, while essential and probably the best money I ever spent $100 gone.
2nd, SNGWizard, again essential, again $100 gone.
3rd, My coaching from Team Moshman is on a NO WIN NO FEE basis. A great deal, invaluable, great coach BUT almost $1000 gone.
Add in a spare mouse, couple of new books and a desire for a new monitor and I'll say it again

So to see my BR go from $300 towards the end of July to $1800 now, I feel slightly deflated but in reality, I should be quite pleased. I have another 2 months on my coaching contract and then after that, I will hopefully see a speedier rise of my BR.
Off to play live at the IPO in Dublin, next weekend. I have had some good results there last two years with 4 final tables from 6 tournaments but nothing in the Main event and no winners trophy so hoping to turn that around.
All in all
