Sweeeet September

So, as all you grinders know, poker is a very real emotional roller coaster.  There are days, weeks and months where you just grind along, just treading water and not really getting anywhere.  Or worse, losing large chunks of bankroll.  You get deep in many tournaments, just to get bad beat late and feel like it was a waste of time.  You know you have the capability, but somehow get unlucky way too often.  If only you could pop a few, run good and watch that bankroll grow.  I popped in September.  I have always made money on Cake Poker, building bankroll, cashing checks, having a good time, and I have had moderate success at UB and AP, having won and travelled to Aruba with them twice (cashing both times, see posts) but I could never really get over on Full Tilt or Poker Stars.  Level of players abilities, run bad, tournament selection ???   don't know but scoreboard shows me never building a bankroll there.  So September rolls up and I grind along, treading water as previously mentioned on tilt for about 80 sessions and then I jump into a $30 rebuy with 3000 players and I get deep and I have a couple suckouts and I finish 5th for almost 14K.  Now I have a bankroll and can get busy.  3 days later, I pick up a 2 / 183 for 3K and 3 days later another 2/ 374 for almost 12K more.  Now THAT is what I am talking about.  Don't know why, didn't play any different than is my usual style but all the stars aligned for those 10 days and September became a sweet month, the best I have had in a long time.  I mostly stayed with multi's but did get involved in some sit n go's as well.
