Wahoooo! PCA Here I come!
So the PCA sats kicked my butt, and likely still while I try to win a 2nd seat for W$ but I'm finally in. See everyone else who's playing down at Atlantis, also known as my favorite poker tournament of the entire year. I was going to go anyway but its nice to have everything sewn up.
Empty Promises / I’m Lazy
I've been EXTREMELY lazy, in addition to still looking for a house after my last 2 offers fell through during negotiations, and haven't done a video in a while. I'm really sorry for being such a bum guys. I've started no less then 10 videos in the past week and had to stop them because I was bad beat within like 10 minutes and freaked out or something of the sort. So tonight I am just going to let a video roll and whatever happens happens. So we all should have some videos maybe as early as tomorrow. Should be starting at either 7pm or 8pm. So feel free to bug me and make sure I am recording.
When Tilt Goes Terribly Wrong
So the following hands come from a 33r on FTP, it was my last tourney of the night and my smallest by far and I wanted to get out of it after I lose the Stars 100r. The following is what can take place when trying to KO yourself out of a small tournament. USE WITH CAUTION!

HELLO CHIPLEADER! ADJFEVFIUJOFIVOIMVCROEF!
A Picture is worth a thousand words, re: PCA Sats so far
That encompasses my experience with PCA sats so far. Down a lot in them, and numerous bubbles in winner take events.
On the bright side, I won a lottery to buy Red Sox tickets and will be going to game 4 of the ALCS. Wee!

Pretty good month for me. I started a staking arrangement this month to start playing the live circuit more and not drain any real estate monies, so realistically these numbers are slightly different. Got a 10k at Foxwoods coming up to start November and a 5k there to end October so it should be interesting to see if I can have another profitable month. Its nice to rack up some results for once since I hadn't had a nice winning month since Vegas in June and likely had 1 more before that this year. I'm playing good too which is a plus and think I've taken another corner in my development as a player and reached a new phase, in that stylistically I have evolved a lot in the past 6 months. I think you guys have a lot to do with that too because bouncing ideas off some of you and making videos has made me more conscious of my leaks and has helped me to fix them. Now to win a big donkament this month and a PCA seat, which I have now absolute bubbled once and been within 1 place of 2 times in 2 weeks.
