Mr. October

October’s results are officially in, and it was a doozy:

My new career high comes just two months after my previous one (45k August 2010), but unfortunately the month in between was also my career worst. I’m by no means putting my foot on the brake or becoming complacent in the least with this month. It was a good month, but there remains much work to be done. I’m going to continue to try and play my best and make the least mistakes for November and the rest of the year . I’ve become very comfortable with playing exclusively 5/10, as over 80% of my winnings for October came from roughly 50k hands at that level. I’ve started incorporating a few change-ups to my game, which I obviously won’t go into detail on here, but just know that I’ve been honing my ability to keep my ranges concealed and difficult to defend/attack. I feel like with coming off such a dismal month, it would have been easy for me to feel sorry for myself and sulk, and move down stakes to lick my wounds. Interestingly, when October 1st came about, I woke up that morning with a determination to make it count and rebound from my downfall of September. I decided to tackle tougher opposition at higher stakes, and thankfully things worked out for the month. I’m looking to wrap up the year on a strong note, so months like this one really help that cause. Good luck to everyone else out there grinding for November, and thanks for reading!
