Taking the Weekend Off

So things haven't changed too much since my last update, still swinging hard. had a pretty awesome upswing and it looked like i was finally going to make my graph look better - and then stupid ridiculous downswing again. Ran like 1k below ev at the 36s in like 150 games, I just can't seem to run well at all at them. I gotta maintain my low leaderboard spot too at the 24s too, so I'll have to spend some more time there. I would like to cash in on the high limit leaderboard too so I'll get some games in in the second half of the month too. Oh and I'm now halfway through the challenge so far despite running like ass.

Anyways, I'm off to my buddy's cabin in Kenora for the weekend, will try to get some sun and maybe some fishing in. Getting away from the games for a couple days will be nice too.

Swongs to Start July

So July has definitely been interesting so far. I started on Canada Day with a pretty ugly $675 downswing at the $24s. $650 below EV. Thoroughly enjoyed it, obv. Decided I should probably return to the $12s to patch up my roll (even still being well over-rolled for the $24s) and regain some confidence. Ran at 40% over 118 games (luck adjusted 23%) at the $12s for $564, ldo. It's sick how much better I run at the $12s than I do the $24s lifetime. I actually found that some of the regs at the $12s adjusted better to me than $24 regs in the short time down there, which was pretty funny. Then ran much better when I returned to the $24s and patched up my redline to be even for the month - well like $5 below but effectively even. Cleared my mid-year bonus during this time for about $225, received my rakebackpros rake race bonus, and woke up to find my June low limit leaderboard bonus in my account this morning. Ship it, bonus whoring ftw. With rb/bonuses, I've already made more in July than I have in June. Cue the downswing for jinxing my rungood.
