December sucks so far. While I feel like I'm running really bad, if I'm going to be completely honest my heart hasn't really been in it lately and I've definitely been playing too often with a bad image.

It sucks to run bad and have every AK allin preflop miss, to get dealt kings vs aces a disproportionate amount and lose every one of them no matter which of them you have, and so on - but as soon as it happens a few times quickly people start feeling like they own you and the rest of the table decides you are a fish, even if it's completely irrational and you played the hands perfectly fine.

It's at this point that my usual loose/aggressive style game has been falling apart and I should be quitting sessions earlier and coming back later in the day instead. I also should probably just be playing less when I'm already using a lot of poker energy on coaching and videos and stuff like I have been lately.

Still, at the end of the day it's only 10K hands and 6K (including quite a bit of 10/20) and I will resolve to be more disciplined and only play when I feel like it, especially when my mind is on other things.

I swear this could have been a lot more too.

Kinda weird month. 20K breakeven stretches at the start and finish, with a sick heater in the middle.



Was happy with my play overall. I feel like I ran a bit below expectation but not enough to complain about.

Bit of a swongy month to start off but grinding through solidly now. I played a little average tonight, but leggo has gotten off to a good start and I have a few new students, so I'm enjoying poker at the moment. I made a 1KNL video tonight too with some interesting spots both vs morons and good players, I think it came out quite well. This is my month so far at bread and butter:



This is my graph of buddylist shots:



Was just hoping for a consistent month this month while I focus more on Leggo and coaching so I'm definitely happy with November so far.
