$9827

I have just narrowly avoided having my third consecutive loseing month, a late surge over the last few days brings me about even for july. Ive stopped playing tournaments for the time being as the sharkscope above shows they were becomming too costly. Other than all that my bankroll is healthy and ive just had a nice upswing so alls well.

Ive stopped being an ignorant twat and given HUSNGS a try this week the $11.5 turbos played 30 with a 20% ROI, i was amazed at how quick they can be and there still be actual play in them.

Investments are going well im up 10% overall with RIO TINTO being the best with a 26% return. The markets are quite volitile but its nice to start off on the up.

$9100

At this moment in time i have no idea what im going to be doing next year, i have been trying to change course to economics for october however their well oversubscribed this year and its all about quota numbers to the department.

Im now very looking forward to the vegas trip especially as i have never actually been outside the UK before (i have a first passport application in atm so im sweating that all working out so i can actually go). Were gona spend two weeks on the strip staying at Ballys. Hopefully ill make some money between now and then so i can feel confident to jump straight onto the 2 5 tables in vegas.

I also made my first investment on monday in the mining company Rio Tinto which im up 7% on, im gona make a few more investments and hopefully in the process increace my understanding of investing and the markets.

$8500

I nearly achieved my aim last month where i recovered to $9800 but since then it has been down all the way. I seem to be having huge short term variance lately the likes of i have never experienced before. The graph is the last two months.

I had an interesting situation last night on a 100nl fr table where i was sat to the left of a 80 50 who would pot it nearly every flop and turn, obv i then managed to stack off about four times to him:
