Always good to start a trip well and locking up a decent hotel rate back at the start of the year felt good. I actually booked about 6 different blocks of dates as they were 100% refundable all at the Rio and all with a $9/day breakfast credit included as well. Unfortunately as I had to delay my trip by a week I only ended up using one of these bookings before I moved to the Pallazzo as part of a package I had raked earlier in the year.
The rate in the end was a total of £559 for 11 nights or average £50.80 per night. I booked before they introduced the compulsory resort fee (which will deffo make next year more expensive) and when I turned up they told me I had booked for 2 people so the breakfast credit, which was chargable to the room at any time of the day at starbucks, was actually 2x$9 = $18/day ! effectively knocking over £10 per night off the room rate !!!

June Figures
This was mainly offline in Las Vegas at the WSOP from 16 June until 4 July. My most successful trip to date and I had won 1 or 2k before I left as well without playing that much. WSOP to be summed up in more posts to come.
June: +£19,773
July has got off to an awful start and brought me back to earth. In my first week since back im struggling to play cos of the heatwave and dropped £2,500 at worst point. Back to -£1,600 at mo and playing a bit better although most of the loss was just run bad anyway.

Sorry for delay in post. Urgent family stuff got in the way the last couple of weeks so I haven't played a single hand.
Month was very good before that with a couple of cashes (circa $1000 each in $215 buy ins) in SCOOP but without the luck needed at the business end. 13th was best finish in Stud 8 but you need that slice of luck at the end. EG the 2nd last pot I was in the guy hit his 7th street for a pot that would have put me joint top with 4 others with 14 left, instead im crippled. That guy went on to chop 3 ways.
Cash games were good and steady especially in the 2nd part of the month when the confidence was higher. Anyway profit was £11,383 but again need to adjust for rakeback down as im still cashing in a lot from last year. Adjusted figure was £5,477, solid especially when I consider the week off at end and I think I had a few days near the start I didn't play either. Cant even be bothered to look at ev graphs but well under it again I think. Dnt care just wnna get back playing and may resume this evening if im in the mood.

May So Far / SCOOP Time
Very very slow start to the month, I think I played a little first couple days then had 4 straight days off drinking/hangovers/not in mood to play. Resumed a week or so ago and its been pretty steady 2-8 hours days with nothing of interest to report. Currently sit just under £1,400 before rakeback which is fine and im under ev again which would probably put it towards £2k. Halfway through month so with rakeback (not sure how much) its a decent enough month without huge volume or being forced to play.
Gonna play some SCOOP now, didn't touch badugi other day and im not gonna play the $700 pl hilo six max today after some deliberation as im not in that serious a mood and don't enjoy 5 card online as much. Will play the $82 version though so I can not worry about doing something silly. Gonna ditch the limit O8 too as im out Friday but I still hope to play between 2-6 others in the coming week or so.

Already posted about the volume side of this month so not too much to report since that. I had 6 days off completely which was needed/nice then ive just eased back in with 1-4 hours a day the last few days.
Right onto the confusing part. Actual profit was £10,120 but this was because ive cashed in a lot of rakeback from last year. Profit without that was £2,107 but with rakeback generated was about £5,800. Then I should adjust as some of that is paid out as part of a WSOP package which I dnt include in profits unless I cash in the event, also don't include 7 nights free luxury hotel accommodation in that.
So final "adjusted" figure is approx. £3,407, but I also have entry to a $2,500 event and 7 nights accommodation worth $1,400ish.
As for May, theres no promotion listed yet I can see so might be just playing across a few sites but I would expect some sort of promotion to come up. Also SCOOP on pokerstars this month and im hoping im in the mood to play several of these. Last year I finshed 6th/321 in the $700 pl 6max hilo but unfortunately they have changed this event to 5 card this time. I still enjoy 5 card but prefer it live I think. Ive listed 9 events to play but will play between 3-6 more likely. Also this year I will probably avoid the lower buyins in most events , eg not enter a $27 if im in a $215 of it. Exception maybe the 5 card where its $82.
