I don't even know why I'd post results. I played well at times in November, but still probably not up to what I should be "capable" of. I had a hard time getting in volume. If I'm actually serious about playing 10-20+ again when I come back in 2012, I just don't see a reason that I can't find a way to play 5k hands a day... but I still don't. I barely care. It's still fun sometimes.
I mostly played 2-4 this month. I finally ran my account up enough to play 5-10, but I didn't really make the most of it. I played a couple lackadaisical HU sessions where I played somewhere between slightly above average and downright bad. Nothing else remarkable happened. I won some money in some tournaments. I played some midstakes. I'm probably up not quite 50 since I started back on Stars, everything considered. I'm glad that I won money this money, but honestly I feel downright bad for running as good as I did. I doubt I could ever buy anything with the Sklansky bucks I was owed from '08 and '09, but maybe I'm getting it all back slowly... at less than one-tenth the stakes. Interesting way the universe works.

I don't really know why I always sound so cynical, I managed to give myself a shot to get back playing higher stakes when I come back to Toronto in January. I guess I am just disappointed that I manage to only grind a high volume of hands when I'm losing or trying to get unstuck. That kind of makes me wonder, had I been running worse, would I have been playing worse also? I don't really care about losing flips or other random all-ins, stuff that usually tilts me is when someone plays their hand stupid and runs in just the right part of my range. Something to contemplate; I'm a bit of a masochist-- I'm sure I'll get back running bad next year.
I did manage to be relatively productive towards the end of the month and I made a few good videos. I'm back to reading pretty often and found a cool site to exercise my brain on. That site might be my secret weapon in poker, so I'm not gonna share it with you guys, sorry!
Headed home for the holidays and then Vegas for a while and then back home. Bye kids.
