I, too, will miss week one I'm sure

Adam had posted over at his blog that he misses week one. I'm not looking back at week one but I'm sure I will miss it as well. I had a couple hot sessions, one at Rush, and one at ST SnGs, but mostly have been pulling down bonuses like a banshee: $50 for playing Rush and my mid-year bonus who's time is running out. Fortunately those perks have given me a huge head start and it's better to be ahead of the curve than behind it but I'm also very aware of the fact that if I cannot match the slope of my goal line then I will eventually run underneath it. The good news is that I no longer need to play as much Rush since I cleared the Rush Week bonus so I can put in more time a more EV+ endeavors like the ST SnGs. I'm also have a few days of slack for hitting Iron level this month since I've cleared 200 points every day of July so far so I am running bad I can just pull the plug early and play another day.

Worried about where the other $500 will come from. I have a 50 days left and bring in about $6/day in rakeback for $300. I have about $50 left on my midyear bonus. That leaves me $150 short assuming exactly break even play. I have my August freerolls coming up and my August and September Iron Man medals that I can use to enter into Steps tourneys and, if things go well, move up the staircase and convert a Step 3 ticket over to a cash tourney like I did last month for about $28. Not sure if that will make up for the difference or not.
