May results

May has been a decent month, even though I feel I haven't played too well.

4NL: 1400 hands and +$45 for 78bb/100 (aka running hot)
10NL: 4200 hands and +$23 for 5.5bb/100 (aka not bad, not good either)

Cash games: +68 (a record month)
SNG/MTT: -5
Bonusses: +$20

Obviously, I'm happy about the +$83, but I'm not satisfied with my game at the 10NL.
I'm still down 3.5 BI after 7.5k hands and I'm not able to have a couple of winning sessions in a row.

Everest Poker is a rollercoaster and generally the games are too loose: raises get no respect at all (I'm raising 4x or 5x + 1x per limper and I'm still getting called all the time), cbets get no respect (people just keep drawing and then folding on the river). But that's great you say?! Well, yeah, it is when they miss, but there are so many family pots, it becomes hard to win one. I guess, I'll have to tighten up a lot there and generally cut back on cbets and semibluffs big time. It makes for a high variance game though, which is challenging.

I'm thinking about making a video to, hopefully, get some feedback on my game as I don't feel confident about it right now.

June goals

Unless I drop some more buyins, in which case I'll drop back to 4NL, I'm going to play 10NL all month, aiming to put in about 5k hands (2 or 3tabling). No specific goals in terms of bb/100, just gonna try play a tight agressive game while focussing on building good reads (even though, I feel it's nearly impossible to put 80/4/2 calling stations on a range of hands). I do plan to shift to a solid abc-game on Everest, limiting semibluffing big time and valuebetting light instead.

It's weird though: on Pokerstars a lot of players are very tight and on Everest most players are way loose and still I'm struggling to consistenly capitalize on that.

Keep up the faith...
