I decided to post my average buy in as a new stat because the reality is I am playing for higher stakes after my recent success. I was pretty much break even on the site but did have a disaster high volume no cash day where i went off for close to $500 in losses. I am also playing more cash games on the site since I don't always have the time to play tournaments. Despite not making a final table this month, I did have 5 semi deep runs which I am hoping is a good sign. I've really only been successful in one tournament on Stars all year so I need to get things going.

Full Tilt: +$2594

Full Tilt in 2010: + $17, 154

Clearly I am playing for higher buy ins on Full Tilt, which I should be doing, the frustrating thing is that I really didn't do anything in a tournament with a buy in of above $26. I took 7th in another $26 event for $1140 and final tabled a $5 event. I did make some semi deep runs in a $55 and 2 $75s so obviously it'd be great to take one of those down.

Month Overall: + $2042
2010 Overall: + $21, 713

Life Update June 2010

Real quick life informations: Basketball is wrapping up this weekend, sort of. I am going to be an asst. coach for another AAU team this summer with our team playing in Chicago and Florida. It should be really fun and I wanted to go to Chicago at some point this summer anyway. I will also find out soon if I am going to take a new coaching position this fall. There is a chance I will get the 9th grade boys job at Centennial High School. I hope I get it as it would be a fun new challenge, plus it would give me the experience to be a varsity asst. coach which can only help me in the long run.
I sort of want to move out of the place that I am living but I have to decide by the end of this month. This place is cheap but that is about the only appeal. I would love to live closer to Lake Calhoun, yet part of me kind of wants to head out towards the St. Paul, eastern suburbs area and live closer to my good friends that live in Hudson.
