August was a very average month, a profitable month, but again, mainly due to rakeback and bonuses. At least I have knocked all the gadget chasing on the head and have now settled down to try and become a better play, concentrating on the 6 seaters. Finished the month about $550 up overall including MTT's and bonus/rakeback. Also broke through the $6k profit barrier for the year, which at one stage I thought I would never get to. This is slightly annoying as I was $5.1k up after 4 months, and only made $900 in the next 4 months, mainly due to playing like a robot and literally playing the cards only. Now that I have no goals for the year, I can concentrate solely on playing better and learning. Even though I am now rolled for $1/2 I have been watching some of the card runners vids, in particular a Brian Townsend one, which suggests that you move up when you have 30k hands at 3ptbb profit. I have yet to do this. So I will stick to my guns and stay at 25c/50c until I have reached something similar to those figures. I therefore don't expect to make as much profit over the next couple of months as I won't be bonus whoring, but hopefully will get some decent rakeback on the iPoker 6 seaters, rather than nitty 10 seaters on crypto.
Now to the bad news, I have been looking forward to going to the Dream Team Final, for so long now, saved up tons of dosh, booked the hotel room and also bought me train tickets. Then sods law, the wife gets the date to have an op on her foot, which she had yesterday (went ok) So I had to make the horrid decision not to go. I really felt bad for letting my team down, however, they were all so supportive of my decision and made me feel so much better, as I was really down about not going. My team are really a great bunch of people and are proud to have them as my friends. I am sure they will all do themselves proud at the final. Its a shame that the buyins were so big, as I do believe, if all of our team were able to afford to have played every game (I only played about 10) we would have been right up there with the leaders. But I am sure they will do well anyway. So Gooooooooooooooooooooo the Crushed Nutz......Will be thinking of you all weekend, well accept for when I am pissed watching the England game on Saturday night ;-)
Thats it for now, todays song is dedicated to the Dream Team that I am part of as they are all a bunch of "Stars"

Jeez, nice graph lol. Hows Sept so far m8?
Always nice to have the graph going the right way for a change ;-)
September going very well, already well up on last months graph, but that can all change with one fishy hitty night, lets hope the plankton stay at the bottom of the ocean.....
At least you're $6k up which is more than the majority of poker players can say!
I've been playing very robotic too and need a change of pace before I go mad!
Good luck for September
