September was good

September was a great month for me. I got a job, went on many roadtrips, my gf got 2nd in a sit-n-go, and poker wise it was my best month ever. I'll start with my job. I'm starting on October 19th and will be doing work with defense contractors at all their various sites. Basically, performing metric analysis and other efficiency type models. That's all I really know about it and I will be finding out more as the weeks go by. They will eventually be moving me to Maryland but for now I get to stay in Houston.

2 weeks ago I went to New Orleans with a bunch of other hooligans. We nicknamed our group the NOliggans and basically tore the city up (strip club warriors). All the people I was with were all Longhorn fans so we watched that game and a couple stayed with me to watch the Tennessee game. Tennessee looked alright, but until we can get a new QB we will not beat Florida. The highlight of the trip was finding this bar called Jager Haus (2 dots on top of the U). It was basically a coffee shop that served jager as well. Pretty fun place and they even had berry jager. The low point of the trip was my short and unsuccessful trip to Harrah's. I was there for 40 min and managed to lose 2k in blackjack. I literally won 1 hand the entire time I was there and it didn't help that I was super drunk the whole time. O well, fun times. Looking forward to the Knoxville trip in a week for the Tennessee/Georgia game then Dallas the next week for Texas/Oklahoma.

Poker this month has been great. I got a big boost when I came back home one night and played "whitelime" at 10 20 HU. Turned out to be a great decision and managed to make a buy in off of him. Ever since that night, I've been on a huge heater with table selection and playing less tables. Anywhere from 2/4NL to 5/10NL have been my main games, with a couple shots at 10/20 and 25/50. I've really been working on my heads up game, because the win rates are so much better. The only problem is finding the fish to play against. Tourney wise, I did not really play many this month. Had one decent cash in Mini Ftops 1 for around $100 but other than that nothing too exciting. On another note, my gf downloaded FTP and using my wonderful hold em lesson I gave her, started to play sit n gos. Shes played 3 and placed 2nd twice. Shipshape!!! Here's my graph for the month, right at hand 27.5k is where I played "whitelime" HU. Overall made $12.5k, and I've realized to stop playing limit when I'm drunk. The limit games drained my BR by $2k. Note to self: No more limit. Hopefully I can run this good in October as well. Here is the biggest pot of the month. GG. Shipshape.
