Following my best week ever, I was fully prepared to add on to it by upping my cash game level and playing some MTTs, however a deep run in the Weekly Bonanza caused me to re-think things a little. I started off up around $12 and change and went the conservative route instead. I did take a shot at the $50 game on Thursday night resulting in a $7.35 profit, but it merely made back some of my losses at the $10 game earlier in the evening. All in all I was happy with how the week went. I got to play all the Eagle Cup tourneys for play money, cashing in a bunch, took a shot at the $50 game, and made a couple of Eagle Cup final tables finishing 7th in both. I chose to sit out the real money tourneys in order to protect my week's profits and took a couple of hits in play money cash games. Here's my status:
Play Money: 10,709,000 Down 475,000
Real Money: $1,290.42 Up $12.33
Target for next MTT level: $1,650 ($33)
Target for next Cash Game level: $2,000 ($100)
Target for next SnG level: $2,200 ($110)
It's hard to gamble when I start my week off well. Sunday is usually my "gambling day" because if things don't go well, I have the rest of the week to make it up, but if I play the Weekly and turn a good profit, I am much more reluctant to risk those earnings. Saturdays are normally my "make up" days in order to either make back losses, or hit earnings goals. Either way, as long as I come out of the week ahead, I'm happy. I see any week of $20 or more as a success. Even though last week was for less than that, I was happy because it followed my best week so far and the bankroll is at a record-high. It's unlikely I'll play the Weekly Bonanza today (a little short on qualifying hands), so the $50 game will be played again at some point, but the $20 will be my go-to. I'm hoping to get another casino trip in this month, but we'll see how things go.
