Today started off very strong and then ended pretty terribly. I ran bad and realize how much I saw bad play pay off due to running hot for my opponents. I hope its just the fact that it's 10NL being the case, but I've seen my aces and kings cracked several times the past couple of days with people who are calling my 4bets with AJo or K5s and random garbage like that who end up flopping huge. I'll post a couple of hands to show what I mean. Keep in mind the players I'm playing against in these hands are not nitty regs, their stats are at a minimum 38/15 for full ring over 60+ hands.

And don't get me wrong I understand variance and am not trying to come off as whining or complaining, its just frustrating to see a day where I'm winning and playing well go down the drain to random garbage plays like these (even though when they don't work out I understand these are the kind of people who I make the most money off), but hopefully they will happen less frequently when I move up to 25nl which I plan on doing sometime next week.

As for my goals they are coming along pretty well. I put in an alright amount of hands in 10NL FR in a decent amount of time. Once I hit around the 20,000 mark I plan on bumping up to 25NL and taking a shot at that.

Number of hands played at 10NL FR: 12,497

Amount won: $78.48

BB/100: 3.14

Rakeback: $41.98

As for my goal of making Gold Iron man for this month. I have 5/20 days at the 100FTPs required to qualify each day. So I am on track for making it to ensure I get the $75 bonus in the future as long as I keep the pace up.
