The day after I hit 10K, I lost around $450 trying to make way too many moves on people I had no read on. So I tightened up a bit and have been averaging around $200 these last few days. I just barely missed out on placing the Mansion Steelers bet today so I guess I'll have to wait til Monday. Hopefully it won't be tapped out.
Hand of the night: Feels good when those SCs hit.

Villain sucks balls, and he has been floating me ALL night and I've been folding the turn to him every time, so I wasn't going to let him do it again. River push scared me, but then I remembered that he sucked, so I called.

Today I tried playing on VC again, but the site was all laggy, so I quit after a few minutes, and tried my hand at UB again. There was a pretty good TAG on both of my tables and we had some interesting confrontations. I saw him raise w/ low SCs and push allin w/ a flush draw vs a shortie. We both were raising around 17-18% 70% of the time he stole my blinds, and I did likewise to him. Here are some of the hands:
******* Hand 1 ********
This hand confused the hell out of me. He was repping the flush on the river, but it just didn't make sense to me. I didn't think he would call that turn w/ a naked flush draw. I had no idea what he would minraise flop w/ and then chk the turn.

We had been going at it pretty good after hand 1, which brings us to this one. The minraise preflop OOP again confused me, so I wanted to see if he was serious. Guess he was.

This is at the other table a few minutes after Hand 2. Thought I would give him a taste of his own medicine. BB actually showed JJ and folded.

This one was just tough. He played it well, as did I, so not much to say about it. Didn't really upset me though, since I guess I sort of respect him.

One of those 30 minute UB sessions occurred on the last day of July, so it was a nice boost after the slight downturn I experienced towards the end of the month. Here is a breakdown July:
Cash game: $100 NLSH
Ultimate Bet: $177.17 6.83 hrs
Hollywood: $1554.13 36.69 hrs
Interpoker: -$20.80 9 hrs
Holdem: $459.00 14.92 hrs
Totals: $2169.50 66.52 hrs
SNGs - $10ers
Ultimate Bet: $94.40 - 7 played, 2 1sts, 1 2nd, 2 3rds
Bonuses
$450 - Hollywood
$160 - Interpoker
$150 - Holdem Poker
$100 - Casino on the Net
$350 - Mansion
$300 - Aces Casino
Total: $1510
Since UB's bonuses are hard to keep track of, I included them in the cash game UB totals. Also, one day in Interpoker, after a session, I noticed I had 3 $20 bonuses added to my account, no strings attached. Weird, but I am not complaining. Moral of the story: Chase those bonuses, kiddos.
Rakeback:
Interpoker: $64.72
Total Earnings: $3838.62
Bankroll: $7531.44

I did get the 2nd to last of the 6 $50 bonuses from Hollywood. Played some BJ on UB after that bad session yesterday, and i was able to get it all back and then some. I really have to stop doing that though, one of these days, its gonna bite me in the ass, but thankfully, yesterday was not that day.
