Played all of 15 minutes to end about square on 24poker although should be closer to clearing another $50 in bonus there. I will have to check tonight exactly how much bonus I have to go there, as there is no system and you have to contact their customer service every time you want to be paid any bonus.
No real hands of interest although I did play a few hands heads up, praying that the table would quickly fill as it had a waiting list. Unfortunately it didn't. And even less fortunately I was getting smashed on the table, where nothing was hitting, and the one time I hit two pair, my opponent had a bigger 2 pair. A few muppets on my other tables did pay me off though so the session wasn't too bad.
I'm investigating a new deal that is on Bodog. I've been wanting to open an account on that site for a while, since it allows US players it should have reasonable traffic. It also limits the number of tables you can have open at one time, so generally there should be fewer sharks / grinders. Will let everyone know how it goes, and might need to add another link for my rakeback/bonus providers on the right there.

June Summary
Yeah I know .. 2 posts in the same day ... but here's the summary anyways :)
My couple big downswings during the month of 100BBs+ really hurt a lot, but again I really can’t complain with the final result. My total time at the tables was probably less than 30 hours .. which I could check if I bothered adding up each of my posts, but I am too lazy for that!
Added a total of $800 in cash to my bankroll, and also have another $360 coming in August which I earned in bonuses, so $1,150ish for the month really isn’t too bad.
For the month I played mostly $3/6 and $2/4 on Littlewoods as can be seen from the bonus/rakeback stats below. Cleared probably $300 of the 24 bonus as well playing mainly $1/2 and $2/4. Since it clears at the same rate at either stakes I generally just look for the softest tables which are usually $1/2.
Finished the month on $9,300 (with $360 owing in August) which is equal to the highest point that I made it to for the month.
The gain of $1,150 for the month was made up of:
Bonuses: $1,310
For July the goals in order of priority are:

The gain of $1,150 for the month was made up of:
Bonuses: $1,310
- William Hill: $50 for 5 hours play bonus
- Cake: $0 reload bonus (played a few hands, but not enough)
- 24: $300 sign up bonus
- Littlewoods: $600 monthly bonus
- Littlewoods: $360 in lieu of ipod bonus
- Littlewoods: $300
- Littlewoods rake race: $200
- William Hill: $10
For July the goals in order of priority are:
- Clear as much of my 24 bonus as possible ($200 remaining)
- Play my 5 hours on William Hill for the $50 bonus
- Clear my last $80 on cake
- Clear some of the Sun bonus - maybe $20 (through double up SnGs mainly)
- Maybe find a new site to play on and score some new bonuses
The other thing I want to do is to compare rake and rakeback between sites. At the moment my rakeback on fulltilt is 27% compared with say 40% on sun. However, Sun takes a much larger amount of rake in the first place out of each hand, so it looks like Fulltilt is actually a better deal. Will investigate further.
If it works out though, I may be playing a fair bit more back on Fulltilt, as there are always a lot more games running, and as long as you table select well, there are plenty of fish to catch.
The other achievement for the month was actually cashing out $2k mostly from Cake via neteller. I've now taken out more than i've put into the game which I think means i'm at least getting something right.

Up for my final session for June
Thought i'd do a quick summary of my final session before posting my overall totals for June. I guess over the weekend I got in not quite a full hour of poker. Was too busy out downhilling on the mountain bike for much poker. You get that sometimes though.
Anyways in that session I actually did quite well, picking up around 10BBs on Littlewoods (FINALLY A WIN!!!) and another 20BBs on 24poker for about $100, as well as confirming that I had cleared the next $50 on 24poker. Also made $200 in the rake race on Littlewoods I think (will change this if its the case but I am pretty sure its right).
Not too many hands of interest but since Colossus requested I figured I can post a couple. On a side note, I still managed to score AA twice and lost both of them. Annoying. My last hand of the session also kinda sucked where I raised QTs from the CO and got one caller on the big blind. He called my raise on a Q72r flop. He raraised my raise on the turn when it was a J. He checked another J on the river, which I checked behind as I figured I could have been behind with the Q and a bigger kicker, and the 2nd J was possibly a really bad card for me. Obviously he flips over AJo ... so he was drawing to basically his 3 outer from his flop call. Unreal ....
Anyways a couple hands and my thinking along the way (and whether or not I think I made a mistake.... (bugger me if i cant find a hand converter friendly with 24poker ... if anyone has a good link let me know)
This is probably a really simple hand I think, but I am reasonably sure I made a mistake ...

Oooops .. again
I keep saying to myself to stop abusing people in the chat box and I *think* i've found a way to stop doing it. Instead of blasting them, I will simply take notes on them instead - should be much more profitable.
However, saying that, I think I tilted some guy today. He got me fairly annoyed when I tried to steal from the button with Q7s and he reppoped me. I sorta hit a flop of J76r, which he donked into me, so I figured he was probably weak as he was a half decent player who liked to check raise if he had the goods. I reraised and he called. Turn was a second club, 3c. He checked, I bet and he called. River was the Qc hitting a backdoor flushdraw, however he donked the river, which was a very bad sign for me, so I simply called. He showed down Kc2c. WTF .. he had totally whiffed that flop, had no draw, and called my raise. I'm not sure if a 3bet preflop from the BB is correct with K2s either ...
Anyways, I wasn't all that impressed to say the least and may have called him a retard or the equivalent .... After a few more orbits, I actually won a couple of hands off him when he called me down pretty light, to each I responded "nh r". A few hands later I found myself with JJ and in a hand with him and one other guy. A flop of KTT wasnt the best for me and I donked into it and got 2 callers. Not real pretty. The turn was a miracle J, and the betting went ballistic, which i was happy to reraise until capped. River was a blank and the same guy reraised and called my 3 bet with only K9o. Ship it. 15BB pot .. pity it was only on $1/2 on 24poker.
A few hands later i'm again trying to steal from the button with A3 and the flop is 445. My man again repops me from the BB preflop. He bets out and I raise him. He calls. Turn is a miraculous 2. Which he bets, raises and I cap. River is another A, however the board now has 3 diamonds .. as well as the pair. He bets out, I raise, he reraises, and so I just call. He shows down A2 for two pair. Hehe. Chump.
Anyways in the whole 20 minute session that I played I managed to make 25BBs on the $1/2 tables so it turned out reasonably well. However, I will in future try to take more notes, and send less abuse!
Forgot to check my bonus on there. I'm sure i've played enough to release another $50. Will check tonight.

Still running like ass
Got in another half hour of play, and I guess one table sums it up.
I had position on a nice big fish, who was running with a VPIP of 65%, preflop raise of 5%, aggression factor of 0.5 and a went to showdown of 75%. Almost the perfect calling station. However, over the 50 hands of the session, of those 75% showdowns he managed to win over 50% of them!!! (given an average winning player at 6max limit has a vpip of 30, pfr 20, wtsd 35-40 and W$SD of 50%, this is a super hot run!!)
At the same time, with position on him, I was running at VPIP 33% (actually had some nice starting hands, or overlimpable hands), PFR of 22%, aggression factor of 2 and went to showdown of 20%. Of those 20% showdowns, I managed to actually win 22% of them. ARGH!!! Is it possible to run that cold??? I even scored AA twice and KK once preflop and lost them all. The KK was annoying .. A hit on the turn, and there were 3 players before me betting and raising so I folded facing 2 bets to call. Obviously another K hit on the river. sigh.
The biggest pot I lost when I had a draw to the 2nd nuts on the turn where betting had gone ballistic three ways. I think I had AcJs with Kc4sQs7s on the board. The river unfortunately paired the board with Ks giving me the 2nd flush. It was bet and then raised before me, but I couldn't bring myself to lay down for 2bbs in a 30BB+ pot. The winner obviously had 44, and the raiser actually had 2s3s ... I dunno wtf he was thinking raising with a 3 high spade flush on a four flushed paired board into 2 players.
If I hadn't cleared the $200 bonus, i'd be down $200 for the session. At least I think i've played enough hands on 24poker to release another $50 bonus there as well. Will find out tonight.
Hopefully I will soon be able to report on a super hot run of my own ....

K7o ..u suck
Had a 40 minute session last night with what seems to be the typical terrible start on Littlewoods. Found a fantastic table with 2 big fish and one moderate fish, who promptly sucked out on the river on me 4 times in a row ... add in 3 missed flush draws and i'm down the 25BBs I buy into fixed limit tables with.
Fast forward 10 minutes though and the fish have donated it all back, only delivering a few more nasty suck outs, but generally they were calling me down when drawing virtually dead ... apparently any ace is good even on extremely dangerous boards and having a poor kicker ... Unfortunately though that table broke up so my last 15 minutes was not on a table as good as that one. Still found a fish, who also managed to drill me a couple times. His T6 was too good for my AJ when he called down my continuation bet and rivered a T.
K7 also appeared to be my nemesis hand. Twice I had AQ, flopped AKx and the river was a 7 only for villain to show down his K7o calling my raise.
Anyways even for the session, but so close to clearing the next $200 bonus on Littlewoods its not funny .. maybe 30 MPPs only to go!!!

Tight(ish) play
Only had time for a very small 15 minute session, and only really received 2 hands of note in the whole session. Played basically pretty tight for folding several weak aces where I may occasionally play them and get myself into trouble.
The first hand of note was when a big fish limped in UTG (VPIP 100%!!! PFR 10%) and I was in the small blind with A8o, when it was folded to me. I reraised to isolate and the button folded as I hoped making it heads up. Flop was A84r, which the limper raised, so I reraised, he called. Turn was a K, which didn't really bother me all that much as I figured he would have probably raised preflop with AK. He donked again so I reraised, which he called. River was an 8 which filled me up. Again he donked into me with a raise, so I reraised again. He called and flipped over A3o ... thanks for the donation!
The only other hand I was in the big blind with K8o, one early position limper (an 80% wtsd over 70 hands .. wtf does he never fold?) and the SB (unknown) also called. Flop was AAK with 2 clubs. SB checked, I bet, and both call. Hmmm .. fair chance i'm in front here if SB shows weakness again. The turn is a 3rd club which SB checks again, I bet hoping to take down the pot, but limper calls. SB folds, so now its heads up - maybe he has a flush (although he surely would have raised??), but I still doubt he has the A, so I call. River is another club which is really really ugly for me as neither of my cards are clubs. Limper bets, and I decide to make a crying call, and he flips over Q8o for a stone cold bluff. Ship it.
Overall made about 12BBs plus got credited with the $70ish in rakeback cash from the weekend.
Current bankroll: $8,900 (+360 August)
