HAPPY (belated) HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

As you can probably guess, there was no way I was going to skip my Sunday donkaments for Halloween, even though I was pretty disappointed to see that it fell on a Sunday this year.

I considered sitting around my house in a costume all day but I just wasn't feeling that motivated. Oh well. I've vowed to myself that I'll do Halloween HUGE next year.

I was also fairly disappointed to even be home at all for this day to be honest. My original plan involved being deep in the Foxwoods WPT event that I finished third in last year for the biggest score of my life.

I had a pretty good day one and finished with almost three times starting stack and over 200BB, but had a gross day 2 and fizzled out.

I also busted around 50th in the first ever $10k WSOP Circuit Regional Championship in Hammond, IN (near Chicago). It drew 226 players, which sounds low compared to WPT events but represents a HUGE turnaround for the WSOPC.

They also have a WSOP Circuit Championship event at the end of the year that's freerolled with the juice from the season's Circuit stops, has a $10k prize pool, is only open to 100 players who win their way in through WSOP Circuit cashes/final table finishes, and awards a bracelet to first place.

On to the online session ... it was a decent one. I cut out a few smaller tournaments in an attempt to play fewer tables at a time and concentrate on the larger events.

I had a couple of cashes in early big ones, but never went super deep and lost a couple huge flips. I saved the session by winning a $700 satellite for a $7k package to the $5k NAPT event at the Bike that I was going to play next week anyway.

I also made another deep run in one of the late night heads up super turbos, which are a ridiculously fun and degen way to try to salvage a win at the end of the night. Tying for ninth didn't quite squeeze out a profit for the day, but losing less than $1k of >$9k in buy ins for the day is basically like breaking even anyway.
