Another fairly small month on the tables - just under 7 hours played total, and I started with a horror session that put me down $300. Made a bit back and got to even for the month in the end thanks to bonuses and interest. I also made a withdrawal and will probably make another one or two shortly as there's just no point in having thousands of $ online when it could be earning interest.
Picked up a cake reload bonus, so i'll be putting in a bit of cake time when I manage to get back to the tables. The little dude is at least starting to sleep a bit more, so hopefully that continues ....
Broke even for the month which was made up of:
Bonuses / VIP / Rakeback: $ 100
• Cake $100
Poker bankroll Interest: $100
Poker losses: ($200)
Current bankroll: $26,850
July time played: 7h
July hands played: 1,216
July profit / (loss): $0

And missed another one
Can't wait for daylight savings - I just can't do the 4.30am thing at the moment, particularly with Dylan waking me up at various points during the night anyways, so there goes another freeroll without me even playing a single hand.
I've played all of 50 hands since the last post, and won a few BBs. Lost a few with a 3 barrel bluff that got raised on the river, but also did some solid value betting which was called down.
Will get back into the swing of things sooner or later .....

Missed my freeroll
Just couldn't be arsed getting up at 4.30am for my Fulltilt freeroll, so managed to miss that one again. Still very little play this month, and haven't made too much of an inroad into my ironman bonus.
However, in the short sessions i've played i've made a few $ - even after several horrendous suckouts in a couple 20BB pots which were incredibly disappointing.
It can be a little tricky to play when you get handed a screaming baby, but he will always be the priority, so the poker tables tend to get shut down as soon as he needs attention.
I'm not really missing playing much, but that's probably because I played too many hours the month before. Still, I am enjoying it when I do get on the tables so i'm sure my volume will increase shortly. I've decided to do some consolidating of the bankroll as well, and hopefully will withdraw from a few sites I no longer really play on.
Current bankroll: $26,750
July time played: 3h
July hands played: 399
July profit / (loss): $200

Not much poker
I'd be lucky to have played 200 hands this month, and so far have broken even.
A combination of a funeral, a hospital visit, and Dylan deciding that his time to be super unsettled is from just before I get home from work until I go to bed, has resulted in fairly limited time for poker.
Not too concerned though, i'm sure i'll get back into it, and clear some of my ironman bonus - well hopefully all of it, by the end of the month.

June 2010 summary
Hmm what can I say. Ended up being my worst month on the tables ever results wise. Could have been even worse except I picked up a couple hundred in my Cake affiliate freeroll.
The last few sessions ended the month just as they began, with my final session on the $5/10 tables including a hand capped preflop with my JJ v TT v AK. Flop JT4r which gets capped. Turn obviously has to be a Q which makes me feel a little sick, followed by a blank river and I lose a 25BB pot.
Actually played a ton of hours - over triple my usual monthly amount, but given I was always on call for bubs, I only played one or two tables at a time, so my volume wasn't really all that much more than normal.
Overall a loss of 350BBs which equated to $900ish after bonuses and rakeback of a good $700.
I qualified for gold level on fulltilt ironman as well - although i've now decided that ironman doesn't really suit me. Being forced into playing almost every day is not something i'm looking for from Poker. I'd rather just play when I feel like it. Basically as soon as I qualified, I haven't been on the tables since which has been the better part of a week.
The LOSS of $900 for the month was made up of:
Bonuses / VIP / Rakeback: $ 600
• Bodog $100
• Cake $100
• Fulltilt $400
Poker bankroll Interest: $100
Poker losses: ($1,600) - ouch
Goals for July are:
• Clear a chunk more of the Cake reload
• Play my Fulltilt and Cake freerolls
• Make a profit
Current bankroll: $26,550
June time played: 85h
June hands played: 8,635
June profit / (loss): ($900)
