Running good? I think not

Here are the first 6 days of my month. Not a happy picture, the big downswing was mostly just one day's worth of play. I've moved back down to 50NL to just grind away. I'll probably stay there for a week, and hopefully have caught back all the difference.

As a side point, i'm playing on Mansion poker at the same time. Its a with a staking consortium called Bank Roll Supply. They stake me to play cash games on mansion up to 100NL at the moment. I'm using it to try out 6max and also hopefully shots at 200NL if i can show them i'm a winning player at Mansion. Its not that i can't bankroll myself across two sites but the three benifits i think it gives me are
1) They are all UK based players who will be having monthly, or so, meetups. It will give me a chance to join a group of players if i ever move into live play seriously.
2) It will give me chance to take shots at 200NL and also at 6 max without being as nitty as i usually am.
3) They give coaching session to their players (me!), so i get free coaching which i've not really had much of.
Added in to the fact that i'm a high volume player, so they've offered me rakeback which they wouldn't normally do. I'll keep you posted on how this goes, but i've been doing it fo just over a month now. The requirements are that i have to play 3k hands a week, which i can do in a few hours if i need to.

So aside from my bad start on stars, i'm up $200 ish on Mansion, and also $70 ish from donkaments. Donkaments are something i'm going to try my hand at again, maybe one day a week, as an effort to break up the grind. I came 4th in a $5 freezeout at the end of last month for $1019 which has sparked my interest again.

Finally my rough plans for going to America at the end of Novemeber to play in the nationals (bridge) at San Diego have fallen through, due to a clash with a County bridge tournament that i've got to play in over here. I will look to go abroad soon though, maybe for either the PCA (poker) or the spring nationals (bridge). Failing that i will almost certainly go during the 2010 WSOP.
