July was a pretty wild month. I got to play in my first WSOP event, and although I didn't cash I came back strong the next day winning the day tournament at Binion's for over 700. OW finished itm at the same tournament.
Coming back from Vegas I ran hot online with an FT and a nice padding of the BR in ring games. I cooled off and ran pretty bad in the second half of the month, but kept on having fun as I began to get the hang of HORSE, just missing the money in a $5 tourney, after being chip leader for over and hour. The $2 HORSE sng's are proving profitable.
At the end of it all I am looking forward to my best month ever for rake back.
Hopefully I'll run better in August and manage an FT or 2(but hey, not everyone can be Stromswa
). I'll be hosting a little homegame that will include some TPFers, who will then head on over to Caesars Windsor for a day tournament the next day.
The big goal for August is to get my first Ironman qualification. At 25 max, that can take a bit of work and definitely will be affected by how I run(BR management daily limits and all).
