September

I managed to bring my downswing to a halt. Basically I realised I had tried to change my style of play, and it wasn't working. I tried to play a lot looser, play more marginal hands, and take more risks. It didn't work, but I feel I learnt alot from it. I have gone but to playing more tighter and so far it seems to have paid off.

I have also moved back to single table SNG tournaments, with a couple of recent wins. I also played a couple of $4 180 man SNGs with some good results including a 6th ($36) and a 3rd ($85). I also worked out that I've now played about 20 of these 180 man SNGS, with 4 final tables, including a 2nd place finish. Thats not a bad record IMO.

By aim for October is to try some $20 SNGs and see how I get on. I'd like to think I have the game to compete at this level, but I've just been overly cautious with my bankroll. If it doesn't work, I'll drop back down to the $10 level. Watch this space.
