Hello followers of spacegravypoker.com!  First off I would like to apologize for my lack of blogging during this challenge.  I have been playing pretty hard and to be honest I didn’t really want to talk about experiencing one of the worse ends of variance i’ve had in my poker career.  I have definately lost way more money at the higher stake games I normally play but to play over 1k games at mainly the $2-$6 stake and only be up $100-$200 is extremely stressful. 

One of the factors that played a role in this was that when I got my bankroll up to $400-$500 I moved up to the $6.50’s-$16 stakes where I ran really bad.  I had to move down twice but I’m not one to give up.  I knew that it really is just variance and sometimes you really can run worse than you can ever imagine.  I got my bankroll up to about $450 two days ago and yesterday decided it was time to move up again.  Only this time I experienced the complete opposite variance of before.  As of the last 24 hours I’ve won 3 $11 180 mans and came in 2nd in one as well.  Also  I’ve had several $11 45 man wins and $27 45 man cashes.  My bankroll is curently at $2626.84.  I’m still slightly behind where I expected to be at this point but I’m gonna continue the grind all the way.

Below is a copy of my results since November 11th (the start of the challenge.)  This includes Low-Mid stake 9 mand sngs, mtt sngs, and mtts.  Thank you to anyone whose been railing me and supporting me during this challenge.  I will post again in the next few days .  Until next time.
