OK so this past month I was insta up 200k+, then decided I had no motivation to play poker, then "refocussed" then apparently not as I am down multiple buyins and generally unhappy with my play. Here's a real disappointing graph of Feb:
Technically since i'm up 10k on stars which is not reflected in this graph, I made my first 100k month. It is now what i expect out of my next few months until I make a run at the nosebleeds.
I am not the type to be complaining about making such money in one month, but I am the type to be overly critical of my play and pissed when I am not winning. I effectively had a 15k hand breakeven streak which is super super I can't even describe how frustrating, and of course I'm thinking of ways to improve some aspect of my life that will hopefully help my poker game. So, I've come up with getting into better shape. Technically cliche, because every internet poker stud reps this, but I am beginning to realize the importance of this. So this month I am going to try to get back into shape for the first time in 3 years. This hopefully will a) get me on a semi-routine schedule as I have been going to bed between 4-8am and waking up at 1-5pm the past week or 2, and b) help my focus during long, difficult sessions. Outwardly I don't appear to be in bad shape but it's getting close. Time to choose life, I suppose.
I haven't posted any hand recently, because I'm lazy or havn't had any noteworthy sessions...so here are some selects:
