October went well for me...kind of.
I made just over $3,500 on from MTTs. I was playing mostly the daily 50k, $22+1R+1A that starts at 2:15 EST every day, and some other random MTTs. One thing that I found to be quite profitable is playing Sunday million Sats. The compeition is very soft and it is quite easy to win. Even if you do not, there are usually a couple of places that give you your buyin back, so it's a pretty safe investment if you are even semi-competent. I am busy Sundays so I cannot play in the million, so I just use the T$ to buyin into the tourneys I do play.
Ring game, on the other hand was quite dreadful. I started of the month with 20 buyin downswing at NL100, and had a few more bad runs along the way. I finished up $100 (lol?) for the month over about 40k hands. Basically every setup and bad beat that could happen did happen, and every flip went the other way...and it's actually still continuing in November. With FPPs, bonus, and rakeback though, I am about $1,000 up in the ring, so it's not as bad as it sounds.
My plan for November is to get my ring games back into gear. Once I feel the downstreak is over and am up about 20 buyings for the month, I will move up to NL200. I easily have the bankroll for it now, but I think it's a bad idea to move up when you have been on a bad run for a while.
Right now, I am playing PCA steps, starting with step 3 ($82.00 buyin). I am playing well, but some key bad beats and lost flips have kept me from moving past step 5 so far. I think I can reasonably expect to win a seat at the cost of about $800-$1,500 but we all know what those estimates are worth ahead of time.
Overall, October was about a $4,000 and another $500 or so worth in FPP on Stars. I am now Platinum VIP, so I get a quite decent return when I play there. I plan on maintaining that and making Supernova next year. I plan on spending FPPs on tourney buyins. I emailed Stars support about allowing to use FPPs to buyin into other tourneys (such as the daily 50k). Hopefully they listen.
My goal for November is to top October winnings, but for that I need to first get my ring games under control. Good luck to me.
