Mid October update

It's been about a week and a half since my last post mostly because i finished my two week vacation on the 8th and since then i've been pretty busy with work and life in general.
I was hoping i would have as much success in October as i did in September, but it's been alittle on the slow side. I have managed to grind my way up from about $4,300 to just under $5,000 in the last 10 days so i am happy about that.

On the tournament front, no big cashes to share. However the two $5 KO tournaments on FTP that i have entered i have went pretty deep. With fields of 826 and 805 people, i managed to finish 16th and 11th, so not a bad return on my money. I feel overall i'm playing pretty solid poker,except that lately my heads up game has seemed to slipped alittle.
My strong point of my poker game has always been heads up, where you can put a great deal of pressure on your oppoinents. Lately my results have been terrible. My record over this slump is 2-9. Winning 2 of 11 heads up matches won't cut it so i'm going to look into working more on that part of my game.
The reason for my slump is my head really isn't in the game, mostly because i continue to play small buyin heads up matches ($5-$10) So i'm going to move up in limits where the money means alittle more and i will concentrate. I will probably start playing $20-$50 heads up matches tomorrow on my day off and see how that goes. :)
