No more months like this please Poker gods
 

August has been my worst month ever, overall.
I started with a 200 BB downswing in limit (2/4 and 3/6) chasing a bonus on Party while doomswitched. Party also doomswitched my NL play to the tune of 9 buy-ins or so.
There was some tilt in here, I guess about 20-30% of total losses.

In the meantime, I was doing OK on Everest. So I decided to go against common accepted practice and move from Party to Stars, also moving down to NL25 (from NL50) in the process).
That is around hand 12K below.

I then had the most unbelievable hot run ever on Stars and Everest, running at 24 PTBB/100 for the remainder, that's hand 12K and up. There's some semi-tilt even near the end, where I got overly optimistic vs some Everest maniacs.
