September Results

Ahhh, September comes to a close. That makes me sad, because September was my Best Month Ever™!! Even better than June, when I won the WSOP main event seat (Losing in the cash games that month brought me down a little)

I did pretty good in cash game, especially since I only played 6200 hands in 21 hours.

MTTs obviously rocked, with my two big cashes. Add that with some rakeback and a little bit playing Omaha, and I almost had a 5 figure month. I figure that I played maybe a total of 30 hours this month, so I like that hourly rate.

*********************************

I think that it is safe to say that I was a little burnt out on poker the last couple months. I haven't played much, and I haven't done much in the way of studying. But the last week or so, I've really gotten back into it. I've watched a ton of videos(and I've signed up over at DeucesCracked), and I have played every day so far this week. I really feel that I am on top of my game right now.

I had a nice little 25 minute session this morning, and I won two buy-ins. The big hand was against a mega-calling station. This guy would call two and three barrels with 3rd pair. So I go for the value shove on the river and get paid off. I don't know about you, but I usually fold Q4s to a pre-flop raise.

Tonight is the Wednesday, so that means The Mookie and lots of MTTs. I think I'll try some of those PokerStars Caribbean Adventure satellites. I don't think my wife would mind a vacation down there during the brutal cold we are going to have in January.

Cheers!
