August was a strange month. I slacked off big time, and played far less volume than I should have. I've talked about why in earlier posts, and while there is no excuse I'm having a tough time feeling too badly about it.
I ran terribly for the first half of the month, close to as poorly as I have in any point in my career. Fortunately for me, I ran well enough during the latter half of the month and perhaps more importantly my run bad seemed to be isolated to 100NL, I had a great deal of success at 200NL this month.
A winnings graph is below. More interesting is the table below it, which shows where the money came from. Note the lackluster 100NL winrate (not as bad as it looks when you factor in the 100PL hands), but exceptional 200NL results. 600NL 6max, 400NL, and 50NL HU hands also contributed positively this month.
Given that I had been playing 275k+ hands during previous 31 day months this year, I cannot be disappointed taking $8.7k off the tables in 178k hands, despite the volume number being unacceptable. I failed to reach the 800k yearly VPP mark, so no milestone bonus this month. I'll have a nice $7.2k in free money waiting for me in early September.
The bottom line:
$8691.10 winnings
+$3714.70 FPP value (66334 VPPs * 3.5 FPPs/VPP * 1.6c/FPP)
+$300 reload bonus
+$204.51 staking profit (same student, he is once again playing on his own roll)
--------------------------------------------------------------
$12910.21 USD total profit. At current exchange rate, this equates to roughly ~$14109 CDN.
Considering I slacked off mightily and had no milestone bonus to help, I really can't complain about the results. If you had told me the month would end this way on August 15th, I'd have been absolutely thrilled. Here's looking forward to sucking it up and playing more in September, while also spending more time studying to improve my game. Who am I kidding, I'll probably just keep on slacking off because I know in the back of my mind I can coast and still make SNE easily enough.

10 months 10 thousand...
Nice job. I say push now for Elite and reap the benefits early!
Have been reading your blog for a while now (earlier strat posts were especially interesting).
Good luck with the SNE challenge, although it's slightly amusing for a non-grinder/hobbiest to read ~175k hands in a month as slacking off!
Keep blogging.
