Some help from an unlikely friend...

August wasn't exactly my best month when you remember my previous post from a few weeks ago.
I was stucking in a stupid -10 BI downswing, wasn't playing my best poker and maybe 6-tabling wasn't helping it when I think about it.

I was actually playing more than I had ever played and raked in a few thousands in short order.
All of that is over now after I have gotten help from my former nemesis: PLO.
I've recently fallen back in love with the game and made a 180 degrees turn this month to finally be in the green! I have no clue how much PLO hands I've played, maybe 2k, with NL, that amounts of about 7k hands for the month.

So far my results have been really good, with very few losing sessions; and because of that my confidence is way up. One of the things I still need to work on is to no play with scared money. Every time I gather up a big stack at a table I tend to just leave not wanting to lose it. But having a big stack in PLO is such a huge edge and often short stacks are afraid to play against them because they can't just push all-in at any time.

Anyways, I've also unlocked $30 from FTP's Best Bonus Ever and I am now looking forward to their Take 2 Bonus as well as Stars' WCOOP Reload Bonus which I have yet to start completing.
Either way, August was good and I'm ready for September.
