September 2009 – Summary
Another month has gone by and once again fall is starting to arrive. I have been doing the challenge now for over 10 months and everything is still going nice and steady. I did have a record breaking month for earnings but they were still solid with just over $200 added to my bankroll.
Cake Poker has once again started to become my friend again like the old days. I am now comfortably playing $0.50/$1.00 cash games with up to 6 tables. This game is much looser than the lower stakes tables and there are some great opportunities to have some serious gains.
I played a lot on Full Tilt again this month with unfortunately a negative return. I was playing to receive the Two table play bonus of $50. For this, I needed to play on 25 different days of the month while playing two tables at once (I almost always play more than 1 table at once). This should be quick sessions but I don’t like to walk away with a loss which got me into trouble a couple times.
Party Poker is like me little poker site buddy that keeps on giving. I didn’t play a lot but had a huge percentage gain for the month. I’m still not sure what I will do with this site as far as play but for now I guess it will just remain my little side gig.
On a personal note, I was able to achieve a personal goal of running a 10km road race in under an hour. Me and my wife and a bunch of friends joined the Banff Melissa’s Road Race last weekend and had a great time.
After getting back from the race weekend, I was definitely ready to boost up my poker bankroll and so far Cake has obliged. In just 2 days at Cake, I was able to have profits of over $300 and I also received my $50 bonus from Full Tilt. October is gonna be good.
