Roll With the Punches

Hey all, quick update: it appears September is an annual downswing month for me, with this September being my absolute worst career month ever, and also marks my first losing month in well over a year. The final tally was a downtick of ~22k on the month following my best month ever, which was discouraging, but thankfully my resolve has strengthened over the millions of hands I’ve logged to the point where nothing really fazes or surprises me. I would say that the downswing began with me being on the wrong end of a ton of variance spots, and then followed by being unable to have any good opportunities where I can take pots down, and ultimately the slight hint of frustration and self-doubt started creeping in. Oddly enough as soon as October 1st’s session began, that all seemed a thing of the past, and as always I hate to jinx anything, but it’s been a heck of a start to this month. I find myself really tuned into the dynamics of each table and shrugging off tough hands very easily. I’ve already more than made up for last month’s poor showing and aim to continue pushing forward with playing well and making calculated, logic-based plays.

As the title suggests, if I’m winning 11/12 months on the year, you gotta roll with the punches, take the good with the bad, taking it all in stride, go with the flow, etc etc. Maybe next year I should just take September off completely
