September was my most profitable month ever. After grinding and grinding and studying I finally got my 2nd 4 figure score and my best cash when I took down the ftp Daily Double A for $2200. It was a sort of weird mtt, I didn't get a lot of good starting hands. When I did get a hand I won about the maximum. The big pots that I won included limping pretty deep 1.5 hrs into the mtt with 44, flopped a set and more then doubled up vs a guy who called my flop raise with K high then gave me 2 streets of value when he turned a K.

The next really big pot I won was with JJ where I got 3 callers, Qxx flop was checked around, I called a turn bet against 99 and won at showdown. A bit late in the mtt iir it was close to just in the money I raised AK with 30bbs, an unknown 3 bet me and I shipped vs AA and sucked out. With around 17 players left a guy mr utg got 3 callers, I shipped 18bbs w/AA utg snapcalled with KK and I won a huge pot. 3 handed the button raised, sb called, I held AA for the 2nd time in the mtt and made a pot sized raise. The button folded and the sb reshipped with KK and gg him.

This win was huge for me as now I have the roll to play up to $75 mtts if I want. The biggest benefit of having a bigger roll is the amount of choices I have to play mtts. For now almost any time I play I can find at least 6 mtts that I'm rolled for.

So Hooray for upswings!!!
