Gotta make this post quick, playing right now.

First Sunday was "meh".

I didn't cash a thing on Full Tilt (thats two consec days now).

Went deep and finished like 37th in the early $109 on Stars (1,666 entrants).

Also went deep in the corresponding $22 MTT starting at the same time.

Also finished top 100 in the $22 1r1a on Stars.

Once I can start running decent late I can make some FTs and make some money.

Just gotta keep plugging away.

Played exactly 70 MTTs in the first four days of this month. That's a record for me and almost a milestone.

I'm really forcing myself to stick w/ this schedule and I feel pretty good.

Sooooooo......

The last couple months have been really ugly. And even by those standards I just had a really bad session.

I played the full schedule(18 MTTs) and mincashed just one tournament. As the hours went by, timebecame a blur as I watched unreal beat after unreal beat happen. If Iwas a 3 to 1 favorite, a 4 to 1 favorite, or even better when the money went in, I watched as the most ridiculous shit fell and crushed my soul.

Just fucking ouch.

I always wonder how the high-volume and best-of-the-best players handle sessions like this.

Tome, a session like today's would normally be completely devastating. Ifnot for this little 'october self-discipline project' I've got going on Iwould probably say "<span>fuck poker</span>" and take a couple days off.

Butbecause I'm trying to establish a routine and learn to control myemotions (instead of my emotions controlling me) I fought my waythrough today and felt like I played really really well.

If I continue to play as well as I did today then I'll be one happy fella. No doubt about it.

Moving on...

Tomorrowis the first Sunday of the month. And as if most of the tourneys on myStars schedule aren't high enough variance as it is, tomorrow promisesto be extra gambly.

Oh well, bring it on fishes... do your worst.

Today I got in the full schedule, 18 MTTs.

It felt pretty good. I am happy with how I handled the bad beats and ridiculous situations. I hope most days this month find me as emotionally smooth as I was today.

I didn't really bust early from anything and at my peak I had 12 MTTs on my monitors. I was at the FT of a small, $22 big ante tourney on stars during that time.

The FT was tough. When down to four players I was thinking "<span>wow these guys are aggressive and smart</span>". My edge wasn't huge but I won a couple flips and ended up taking it down for a whopping $462.



Besides a couple mincashes there wasn't anything else to really mention in MTTs.

I did play one $26/45 man on Full Tilt and got 2nd in it. I came into HU w/ a 2 to 1 CL but all the cards fell his way.

Ok so I guess after the first two days of October there is a decent enough amount of data to go ahead and do a sharkscope post.



Obv it's very early in the month but so far I'm very pleased with my ROIs. Tournament poker is all about ROI and BR management. As long as I stay focused and play every day as I have the first two days this month, my profit should be decent by the end of the month.

Speaking of the end of the month, I was thinking I would take 10% of my profit this month and give it to charity (or charities).

I've been thinking a lot lately about this and also about volunteering in my spare time. But charity and volunteer work is something I have never done before and am kinda clueless about.

I think it would be awesome if any readers of this blog threw out some good suggestions for a charity or any good advice about volunteering. Oh, and please don't say "<span>you could always donate to me</span>"... that joke is so lame imo.

If you're reading this blog then chances are your life is a shitload better than a lot of people's lives.

But seriously, if you have any experience volunteering or know of good charities, please let me know and give me details. Also, please tell me why its a good charity. You can leave this info here on the blog as a comment or email me, adamsapple1919@gmail.com

Back at it tomorrow.
