I know people run bad and I know people generally hate hearing about people who do run bad, so please feel free to ignore this post if that's the case. I just feel the need to write this purely as a cathartic release.

(And I know that the all in EV is not the full picture, but it's an indicator and all we have. So i'm using it.)

I have had some big problems in my game that have crept in ever so slowly and lead to me having a multitude of small leaks that were hard to spot but nevertheless cost me money.

One of these was being far too loose OOP as the PFR. This is just a recipe for disaster and is really easy to fix. I have done this and immediately benefited from it. The other was playing too passively and too wide OOP as PFC. This is harder to fix but something I am doing with some relative success this month.

The other main leak and something that I really have to force myself to think about in every single session is my station like tendencies. I have a post it on my monitor simply saying, 'DON'T BE A STATION'. I think it's working.

With regards to the run bad, here is my last 100k hands or so



As you can see, the last 100k hands are pretty much break-even according to EV. There is however a hell of a lot of spew in here and generally bad play. I'm sure there are a lot of stacks I could have saved in this stretch.

Here is this months play, 20k sample, where I have begun to implement some of the adjustments mentioned above.





As you can see, I am slightly tighter and I am sure this will drop further as 1/4 of these hands I was still playing a bit too loose. I am really happy with my play in general and must say that I have more confidence in my play than I have done in a long while.

I'm looking to play around 50k this month so fingers crossed my results will start to reflect the improvements I have made to my game.
