PHILLIES WS - FTOPS - Fresh Start

Its been almost a month since my last post, as I havent really had anything eventful going on during the month of October. Poker-wise, Ive been putting in random cash/sng/mtt sessions here and there - with no regular schedule. Ive been playing super aggro in the 3/6, 5/10, and 10/20 w/ ante games - and have subsequently gone on a few big swings in both directions. I almost ended the month turning a decent profit, but I think I just barely snuck into the green up a few K. I also turned a small profit in some sngs 300-1k on ftp and stars - missing out on some significant gains when I took shots at higher stakes.

I really havent been putting in my regular mtt schedule because I am a huge Phillies fan and they have had a huge October. I went to 4 playoff games and 2 WS games - which have been incredible. I think the Phils v Yanks matchup in the WS is one of the best this decade if not longer. The games have been really exciting to watch, especially if you are into baseball. For those of you who dont know, before I started playing poker my junior year in college I played 2 years at Penn and was captain of my high school team at Eastern HS - so basically baseball was life before I started playing poker more seriously. With the Phils playing all these huge games in October its almost impossible for me to focus on a legit poker schedule, but I did make 1 big run 2 days ago in the Sunday Mil. I think this was my first big run in this tourney for the 200$ buyin. I ran really well most of the tourney and ended up losing a huge flip AK<1010 for the chiplead with 30 or so left. I was left with 3 bbs and around 545k after the hand. I ended up running this back to 4 mil and proceeded to take a cooler to bust out in 13th. Oh well.

November begins a fresh month and Ill be starting to play alot more tourneys regularly - which Im excited about. FTOPS starts tommorow, but its also game 6 of the WS so Im not sure if Ill be playing a full schedule yet or what. Im also in the process of putting together a live schedule for the remaining 2 months in 2009 and moving into 2010. Ill post this in the next few days. Good luck to all in FTOPS - GO PHILSSS!
