Long Time No Blog

It's been a month since I last posted anything, which has got to be the longest stretch without content this blog has suffered. Sorry!

For the latter part of August I was on vacation in different parts of British Columbia. It was a good time, and I got a lot of sun and exercise. Between being sick, on vacation, or just somewhat slacking in general my August volume was quite low, and the early/middle portion of the month saw one of my worst downswings ever. I did recover and manage to ship a passable month considering I put in 60-70k hands however. I missed the monthly review due to being out of town, but it got me thinking of why exactly I feel the need to graph/review each month. Perhaps I'll get away from doing so in the future and focus on content that might be a little more interesting.

I put in some decent volume this weekend to kick off September. Ran awful on Friday and broke even, then decently on Saturday (and well enough today over the short session I played). Half of Saturday's table profit came from a big blind special against a fish who really, really wanted to chase his gutshot drawing dead and got there at 600NL.
