I love the start to a new month as it either gives me a chance to reflect on the previous months great work or look forward to a fresh start after a month of poker god hell !! August i hope is the turning point for the year, after a the nightmare down swing that took in the whole of July and the first two weeks of August i finally got back on track with a massive upswing that not only got me in profit for August but also cleared some off the down swing from July, all in all i had a $33k up for the final two weeks of August. Im sure that a major reason for the upswing as been my positive outlook and positive thinking that worked on for those final two weeks. After going over the blog it was clear to me that i was helping bring the bad run on with my constant talk of poker god punishment and badbeat sickness, if you think negative how do you expect positive results? So im continuing with the positive thinking, September  IS going to be another massive upswing month!!! Got off to a good steady start yesterday, due to the growing mentor commitments i could only manage a one hour session (and this was duing a session when the player asked to watch me play) but finished a very healthly two buy ins up- now what an hourly rate would be if i could keep it going!
