The action was excellent for the first three weeks of the month, but then it quickly died down.
I think I'll be going back to grinding around 55k hands a month, because playing more than that really takes a toll on me.
I have to miss training sessions, have dinner at random times and I play worse.
It doesn't seem like a big difference, but it gets exponentially more difficult to increase your volume.
The plan is to do a bit more work on my game this month, and have a strong finish to the year.
Next year, I'll be trying my live poker luck again, but this time in Macau. Hopefully with better results than in Vegas.
October results
Fine result but obviously disappointed with the downwing at the end. But then I remembered that I won 35k on an untracked site and made 100k with some other stuff, and suddenly the month was amazing.
Wasn't happy on the river
