Ok, so October was tough for me. I guess lots of things happened.

- I started the month with 6k.

The first beat came when I transfered my roll from Full Tilt Poker to iPoker through Neteller. I have my Neteller account in euro's (stupid yes I know, but I can't change it) and the conversion costs where 400$

.

- So my BR was 5.6k.

After two weeks I had to let go of my coach, because of a bad run the costs of coaching where becoming a bit too high and I really didn't want to move down. Still, all the coaching cost me approx 600$. I received 800$ rakeback from Full Tilt though, so I kind of managed.

- BR was 5.8k.

Eh I did mention I ran bad, and I really did. But I guess adjusting to iPoker (regulars are more nitty, the fish are more erratic), made me lose another 600$ due to bad calls / useless cbets / bluffs. I had gone through most hand histories and talked about it with my coach and I took a few days break to analyze where it went wrong and get the right mindset again. On iPoker, I get rakeback every week so I barely had a roll for NL200.

- BR was 3.8k.

So after my break I decided I wasn't going to move down, but cut down on tables, let go of my coach, analyze all the biggest losses after every session and steadily add tables because I tend to get bored playing 4 tables. I think now I adjusted to iPoker well, there were multiple situations where I easily folded QQ/AK pf and everytime a hand got to showdown it was KK/AA: most regulars are pretty robotic. So when I got alot of notes on everybody I started loosening up my game again (I played really nitty at first) and found so many spots for squuezes / floats-bluff turns etc. Well to make a long story short, I got out of the hole:

- Current BR 8.2k

I will also receive 800$ from the rakerace of www.ballerpoker.com next month. I will continue to grind NL200 and hopefully have a 'normal' winning month in November and reach 12k. When I hit 12k it'll be NL400 for me and if I drop down to 10k I'll move back.

Goals for November:

- Keep analyzing every session
- At least 30k hands
- Make even more notes on regulars
- Play solidly above everything
- Hit 12k, play NL400, own everyone and ship.

Gl at the tables!
