Good Month, Blah!

Overall, it was a really good month for poker. Cleared the nasty 2k bonus and had some good profits and rakeback. I decided to take some shots today at 5/10 and ran like poo. It's ok though because shot taking is fun and I've been on the other side where I've ran good doing it. Variance is a bitch but that's what we get when we decide to play poker. My bird doo doo run bad is the obvious straight down line there at the end. I am most likely not going to play online this month since I am leaving for Vegas in about 5 hours. First couple of days are for work then I am going to spend Halloween weekend there with a bunch of friends. Should be a great time and I think we decided to all go as Chilean miners. I didn't have time to buy the costume so hopefully my buddy can pick it up and bring it with him at the end of the week.

I got a good amount of volume in this month but next month is crunch time at work for a big project I am working on so I am going to have to put in some long hours to get that finished up. Plus there is Thanksgiving break and I am going to be back in Houston for 10 days so that should be fun. Party it up with Shipshape. I really need a little break because I feel burned out from playing so much this month. 80k hands takes a toll and I don't know how some people put it 200k hands in a month. I guess if you don't have a full time job its not too hard, but sitting in front of the computer that long everyday just doesn't sound like something I could do all year. I feel like I've forced myself to play sometimes which is never good because instead of making good decisions you become a robot just clicking a mouse. O well, still good results and I am proud of it. Wish me some run good in the live games and the amazing craps rolls we are going to have. On a side note, me and a shipshape member had the greatest craps roll of our short career where some girl rolled for an hour and a half. Just think about it, and now think of the results. Ups. GG. Shipshape.

Swings and more Swings

Past couple of weeks have been really fun. I went to the TX/OU game in Dallas and even though Texas lost I still had a blast. The funniest moment had to be watching Tennessee put 3294083 players on the field. Even though it was sad, you just gotta laugh a little.

I've been grinding hard ever since coming back from the trip and I've actually put myself into the top 25 for the rake race this month. If I can keep that up I will get a nice bonus at the end of the month. I've dabbled in 100nl, 200nl, 400nl Rush this month along with a session at 600NL HU and a small sesh at 2000Cap. Here's the graph and you can see the nonsense I am talking about.
It's been a roller coaster but it is nice to be back in the positive. Here is my gross hand of the first 8 days of the month. Super deep it was just gross all the way. Where's the boat on the river!!!

Now that I got this stupid black card from FTP I've been activating the bonuses but they take forever to clear. I wish it was instant cash like Stars but FTP always screws people in any way possible. The idea of double and triple points has driven me to play more and I am getting huge volume in.

This month has a Vegas trip planned. I am going for sure at the end of the month for work and will just stay the weekend to hang out with friends and play some cards. There might be a trip before that with some Tennessee buds so we can break in a Vegas Virgin. I'm kind of sick, but I think I'll play a bit more then pass out while playing Call of Duty. GG.
