        <summary>Ok as for my September goals:

- I played 31k hands (I had 20k as a starting goal). Next month I will aim for at least 25k hands and see if I easily make it again.
- I'm being coached now and thus started focusing more on improving my game, which will definately help me move up. 
- I made 2.3k - paid 360$ to coach + 800$ in rakeback = 2.7k
- I started September with a BR of 4.3k , now I am at 6.4k (I lost 600$ from playing HU / Tourneys / whatever).
- Still a 50 % increase of BR so I guess I'm happy even though my winrate kind of sucked. I didn't run too well though and I'm sure next month will be better.

October goals:

- Play strictly 6max and really work hard on improving my game
- Stick to NL200 until I have 14k (so probably the entire next month)
- No shots / silly HU sessions / Tournaments
- Work really hard on table selection, try to play as many hours as possible on weekends

Question to people who bothered to read:

I might go and try another site than Full Tilt because I seem to play at times where there are mostly tough tables during mondays - thursdays. So maybe a euro site with lots of traffic and good rakeback, can anyone recommend something? 

Thank you for reading and GL at the tables!</summary>

        <summary>So I hit 6k this morning and figured since I'm sticking to my set goals so well I'd play a 6max session (cuz I have 30 buyins now). Hit a horrendous start but manned up and hit the green before stopping (offcourse losing a two pair vs trips 250$ just before I quit).

Some side notes:

- Pay attention to who are the biggest nits. Don't play too much back at them (especially AFTER the flop)
- Start a session conservative and wait until you have some decent stats on people before you start making plays.
- Don't miss thin valuebets on the river.
- 6max is hella more swingy then FR
