Last of the Summer Grind

With university looming I decided to have one last live session before I head back. I have a friend staying with me until university so we headed down to my local casino and hit the tables. I haven't played here for a while and it was nice to see a few familiar faces and catch up with a few people I played with earlier in the summer. I booked £140 profit (around $220) which I'll put into my online account and called it a relatively early night, I busted a few of the weaker players and we were left with a tight table full of regulars, not something I am going to waste my little time left at home at.

September has had a pretty good start for me, I had a successful first weekend at 25nl where I took a shot slightly underrolled that set me up for the month. 10nl hasn't been so kind, I'm kind of breaking even and not getting a lot of traction but with bonuses and live winnings I'm having a good month.

I've started reading a few new poker books, both by Dusty Schimdt to try and kick start my game and get into the online mindset before getting back to university. Treat Poker Like a Business is a great read and I look forward to reading Don't Listen To Phil Hellmuth when I am done with the first, I'll try write something more comprehensive about them when I am done with them.

The Rugby World Cup has started which is keeping me awake at night for the next couple months, lets hope England can repeat 2003!

August Review - September Goals

Hey guys, just finished the end of my first month back playing online and its been a bit of a roller coaster, up and down more times than I can count. I can at least report that profit was made, although not too much, and I'm very happy to be playing again. Thanks to the Pokerstars VIP club promotion during August I was able to attain Platinum status which I will keep throughout September allowing me to get more FPPs and therefore more "rakeback". I'm not too sure what I'm going to do with the FPPs at the moment, likely 210fpp sats to the Sunday Storm, they seem to give me an OK $/fpp. I'm going to be concentrating 100% on cash these days, no mtts and sngs, if I don't feel like playing cash I'll just do something else!





Looking forward I'm hoping to get rolled for 25nl by the end of the month and retain Goldstar, although that will be a push unless I move up sooner rather than later.

Outside of poker house at uni is all sorted and looking awesome, I'll try get some pics up at some point onceI'm happy with having moved in! Going to try and have a slightly less alcoholic year and focus more academically, everything counts now so time to step up and nail the work
