Octobers finally over, its always such a long month that ends with a kickass holiday. The next two months always fly for me there's just so much happening in December. And November is all about getting ready for Christmas and gift giving and such.

This weekend i take off to Montreal for 3 days to meet up with the GF after she finishes a school conference. Than shes skipping the week of school so we can hang out for a bit. The plan is after Montreal, we ll head to Toronto. Go to the hockey hall of fame, watch so shows (cant remember what Laura bought us tickets for) and hang out with her grandparents a bit since she never goes out east to see them. Apparently they re really excited im sure it will make for some fantastic awkward moments. An unemployed gambling boyfriend whos travelling with there granddaughter. Im sure theyll have a billion questions.

After i zip back from Toronto i got two days rest before i head to Vegas to meet up with Ali (somnius) i just took care of the rooms today. I got 3 comp-ed nights in a suite in the palms (losing a few G's in blackjack apparently puts u on there comp list) and we ll be at the Mirage for the other 4 nights since its closer to Caesars where the festival is taking place. I cant wait its gonna be so exciting and its a little bit of warmth before i fall into ski season.

On the poker front im unhappy with how last month ended. Really struggled around the end of the month and kinda fell apart. I cashed off a decent chunk again so that i should be alright till January before i really will feel the need to start grinding again. Ive decided that i a sick of variance though. So im probably going to become the sickest overrolled person. Ive decided that for every table i open i need to have 10 bis. I think this structure will really help me play less tables and learn and improve my game more. Im starting to have more fun at poker again now that i have more reads and can maneuver more.

I hope i can manage to do this and not feel the urge when i see tons of fish and 5/10.
