I wish I could say that I have some kind of prop bet regarding hands played this month. Or rather, I wish I would've made a prop bet about it. In any case, I made it my resolution to treat August like I'm an actual online poker pro, and try to grind it out with whatever games are going. I also have this desire to remind the LHE community that I've still got it :) So yeah, you'll probably see me on the tables a lot in August.
So far other than one night with a several hour rough patch, things have been going great. Oh yeah, Tuesday was also slightly frustrating because I played 2500 hands, won over 100BBs, and was -$700 on the day thanks to being a $13,000 loser in my $100/200 and $200/400 hands, and a huge winner in the $50/100 and $30/60 hands. But I mean no complaints, swings happen in poker, and overall I'm still running pretty well and I feel like I'm playing super well too.
Here was one hand that I played while 5-tabling, that I'm super proud of being in tune with how the game was playing... i'm sure most people don't win as much here as I did even if they were on just this 1 table, let alone 5 total...:

So yeah, I like to boast when things are going well, and I hope I'm not about to jinx myself, but here's how the month has went so far...:
Also I find it amusing how several times now Doughnutz has commented to me at the tables, "wow, you really are serious about trying to play some hands this month." Yup, I am. See some of you at the tables!
