Rake Race IV has started

Things have been going well as of late. Ive had a nice upswing in MTTs/SNGs which has led to a solid start to this rake race/a good month playing wise. I decided to cut my stats through the 15th of this month so I could track stats for the whole rake race. Anyways I ended up playing in those 15 days about 37 hours with 5385.36 in actual profit from playing. Since then I've gone on a 7k upswing so Im sure this month Im around +14k overall....So the rake race started on the 15th and Im barely breaking top 10. So far Ive gotten in a little under 50 hours, somewhat slacking the first week.....I dont really have a goal profit wise during this whole race, but I was hoping for around 40k...Im also playing mtts during this race as well as playing afternoons to somewhat offset the tougher games later at night.....I stopped MTTs in past races which probably cost me a couple thousand a month. Ive also started staking someone in MTTs as of late - hes a very good player whos taught me alot lately, so I figured this was definitely +ev.....so far hes already shipped the 20r for about 2k, so Im thinking this is a good idea. As far as the stocks, I ended up +550 or so then pulling out last sunday...this turned out to be good as monday was a big drop....the bottom line is the market had a huge upswing over hte past couple weeks and i assume is going to come down....I think though I might take the money and run cause really Im probably -ev with the little I know about it. I made a nice return and think I might just wait till I know a little bit more about what the fuck im doing. Oh well thats it for now - expect an update next month

+50k roughly on the year thus far
