Turning a corner

September has actually been ok! I'm pretty suprised, after 3 basically break-even months, it's nice to a have a bit of a win. Overall I won about $310 (a few hands didn't import in which I lost nearly $80 and I made about $30 in rakeback in the few hands I played at Full Tilt). I also played a bit looser than I was at Stars, and at the moment I'm having a lot more fun with it.

So after last month I was looking for another site to play at, and concluded that the only ones with good enough software for me to comfortably multi-table were Full Tilt and PartyPoker. I have never been successful at Full Tilt but thought it was worth another go. I only played about 2k hands there, which is not really enough to determine anything, but it just didn't feel right.

I started at Party at it felt good. Party is the site that I built my roll at before I went travelling and I feel very comfortable there. The software may have changed a bit, and the bonus scheme has become the most confusing this ever, but I really like playing there. You see so many moves that most of the players at Stars are just too good to make; min-raising pre-flop, min-betting with lots of draws out, stacking off with overpairs on any board etc. I don't get rakeback there which is a shame, but so far they have offered me a lot of bonuses and I think I should be able to make a bit from the points (if I can understand them). For the time being I'll stick with it and see how it goes.

Hand of the month - I'm very fishy on the turn but it paid off - if I know I'm getting his stack if I hit then it seems ok but very debatable.

October - The plan is to stick at Party, play well, win some money and earn some bonuses. If I make over $400 this month then I will move back up levels so that's the target.

Bankroll ~ $5.4k
