November sucked. I barely played a game, mostly because I was feeling demotivated after I started off the month doing a ton of flips at NL100, losing a bunch.
December is not going well either. I don't think my roll has ever been this low before. I guess it's to be expected when I hardly play anymore and I constantly have to cash out. Oh well. Christmas soon.

I have a friend visiting this weekend, so I am taking tomorrow off poker. So without fear of jinxing myself, here are my October results:

Add $166 rakeback, and my total profit for the month was $1,277.
I have been trying to play at a higher level this month, as you can see from my Av. Stake. I am running awfully bad at the 50s for some reason; I always have. I can't figure it out either… it's not like I am playing scared money because I do well in the 80s/100s.
I am still struggling with my volume obviously. I have been experimenting with sitting first, with mixed results. A LOT of fish sit against you, and they are a lot more willing to rematch you, even if you beat them, than those who sit first. However, for some reason, I am finding it difficult to adjust to their playing style, it is as if they are just a whole lot more reckless coming into the match. I will continue experimenting with this in November.

September has come and gone, and here are my results for the month (click for graph):

$919 profit + $109 rakeback makes for a total profit of $1,028.
Overall not a bad month considering the volume I put in, which is something I am not happy with. I rely on gameselecting pretty heavily, which could be a leak I think. Especially during the day in Europe, when regular HUSNG games on FTP are pretty much dead.
October started out well for me (+$640 in ~50 games), but I hit a really bad streak to end my heater pretty brutally. Funnily enough the downswing started right after a withdrawal… I feel like I am back on track now though however, and things are looking up again.
