September News & Notes

- I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I haven't been playing tournaments lately. They haven't been going according to plan in the past month or two, so I took a few weeks off from tourneys.

On Sunday, I got back into tourney mode by playing in two daily tourneys, but things haven't improved. I finish 6/23 in the Atlantis $80 Bounty, and 16/36 in the Peppermill $95 Cash Me Out. I was gonna do a LOL Donkament write-up for the Atlantis tourney, but it's hard to get motivated after another frustrating session. I guess that makes me a lousy blogger.

- This weekend is the Chop Pot Poker Classic at the Peppermill. It's a tournament series of mixed limit games, including Omaha-8, Stud-8, HORSE, and Crazy Pineapple-8.

This may come as a surprise, based upon my recent tourney success, but I'm planning on playing the last five events: Saturdays night's $120 HORSE, Sunday's $225 CP-8 and $120 Stud-8, Monday's $120 Omaha-8 and $120 HORSE.

I've never cashed in a non-TV Poker tournament at a casino, and this gives me five chances to remove that black mark from my poker resume.

I'm not sure if I will do a Running Log, but I will hopefully get a few hands for the Mixed Games fans out there.

- Since I've been working so much, I'm gonna finally open a savings account for a poker bankroll. I will start it from my paycheck tomorrow, and I'll be adding some from every paycheck. It will be used most for shot-taking, as my little pile of cash should be enough for my normal poker action.

I am planning on taking one more shot later this year. I'll go into more detail when it gets closer.
