A much better month but still ran miles behind ev, just cant seem to get rid of the bad luck online this year :(
Final rake adjusted profit figure of +£3,461. If I had run level ev though this would be nearly double at about £6,600 total.
Playing better which is the main thing. Still fall into old habits though just not as often. PLO seems to have taken a step forward this month and I hope to continue with that as the hilo games are dying a slow death really.
Did play NL holdem mtt live near start of the month but bust a big pot AA vs QQ with 15 of the 67 runners left in a £275 overly well structured event. Still it tested my patience and I seemed to pass. Will be on holiday a bit this month coming and will play some more offline for sure.
GL at the tables !

More Figures
Deffo been a better month but constantly fighting bad ev since the last post. If I stick to $ then across 3 sites im +$4,100 . If I had run level ev though I would be +$8,500. Rakeback to add to that in region of $1,500 without bothering to work it out properly. Most importantly though im still playing better than the previous few months and my confidence in my game has improved , esp in straight plo. Another week or so to go and hopefully push on a bit more this month.
Now as we are about 5/6 way through the year I thought I would post some stats here for the year. I'll keep it in $ and do the 3 sites (obviously this doesn't include live games or certain games that I cant track online) similar to above but from the start of the year. Cant be bothered to post graphs this time but should note hands played in ( ). Rakeback is not included either.
+$11,000 actual, ev + $29,000 (495k)
- $1,600 actual , ev + +400 (52k)
+ $2,000 actual , ev +$4,500 (69k)
so about $22,500 behind ev this year. That's a lot of buyins when most of my games are at .5/1 or 1/2 buying in for $100 or $200 !
Note this isn't a moan I wanted to see where I stood and will do similar again at the end of the year. Could also note I ran way above ev in the 4 months prior to the start of the year so it shows in the long run it kind of does even out.

Flying - Long Overdue
I will risk hitting a wall by posting this but what the hell. The last 3 months have been barren and including rakeback I only made about £1,100 over that period.
Hit a totally unsustainable first 2 days of October and im actually still a little under ev for it too.
Did a few bits of analysis work on Monday and changes to HUD and after 4 days off from poker it seems to have clicked, esp in plo which I know ive been struggling with of late.
Note the other things that are working:
Im trying not to play when too tired, feeling tilt/rage coming on or lasting and taking breaks.
Think the latter one has been the most important but whether ill stick to it, I dunno. Takes some discipline to shut it down when tables are still good unless ive got something arranged to force me off.
EG yesterday I did 3 sessions of 3.75/2.75/1.5hrs. Today ive done 4.5/1.5/2.25hrs sessions. Long breaks of 60mins+ inbetween all. Tables good now but knackered again so shutting for the night.
Anyway results so far +£1,903. Note to self, don't get complacent and follow above where possible.

Sept 2013 Review
Good solid first couple of weeks, poor boring bad 2nd half of the month including 4 or 5 events in WCOOP without a cash and only 1 semi deep finish with a 1/3 of field left.
Final profit £2,294. Don't sound great but a shocking last session on Thursday dropping £1,000 (haven't played since as been away on a long weekend and wont play tonight as hungover !) and ~£800 in mtts with no cashes brought me down somewhat.
Not sure what October may hold, hopefully wont get as bored as I did again in the 2nd half of Sept. Haven't ruled out playing live next weekend/week a bit but wont decide on that for a couple of days yet. Similar plan to September I expect although I am looking at graphs etc now to try and come up with some form of sticking to whats been working the last 1-3months and not wasting time on the wrong games.

WCOOP And Month Update
Been a fairly steady month so far I guess. Have got bored at times playing only pl hilo but I needed a bit more rake on my 1st site to clear a bonus by 27th so have played some plo too the last few days.
Sat at about £3,000 inc rakeback this morning but have entered the WCOOP for $615 so far with a $200 addon to come assuming I make it 2 hours in ! Could be an expensive day but wanted to play the 5card 6max pl hilo event although would have preferred 4 cards !
Already failed on 2 events but had enough points to play those for free, also missed the 9 handed 4 card pl hilo one due to being too hungover, oops :) Might update later if gets interesting although not expecting anything right now. Chopped a ridiculous pot now vs shortie as I write this :(
edit...lasted 6hours , never got a big stack but held my half average stack well for a long time. exit hand to solid guy tilting/gambling after he had lost 2/3 of his stack and only marginally covered me.
reraise pre with AAj47 1 suit and flop 966xdd. he leads pot ive only got 2k more than that and call what looks like an obvious flush draw and is vs A8839 with 1 suit of diamonds. turn 3d and I miss low/fh outs. was biggest pot of the mtt and got it in good so happy enough with exit. still only 29k when average 40k but would have given me a shot, finished about 2/3 into field 132/436 pays 60 :(
deffo not playing 8 game mtt in 20mins , wish it was on a different day, feel like I need time off but deffo switching off for at least a couple of hours or maybe the rest of the night.
