$92.73.

3 cashes today.

33/1029 in an $11 the best of it. We win that 60/40 and we have just short of average and a shot at the big stuff. Frustrating that we can"t seem to ever hold at the moment.

Will be grinding a few $2.50"s after work tomorrow.

know the feeling, but it"s  coming!!!

$50.39.

A very poor $2.50 session. Just one cash and ran terribly.

I am going to throw myself into all things strategy for the next 3-4 weeks. A downswing is a good excuse to really evaluate every part of my game - the sit n go strategy and MTT"s. Plenty of resources out there so going to really commit some hours to it.

I am not sure yet whether I am going to reload and carry on playing while I do this or just take a break for a few weeks.

[mporter123]

I am going to have an online poker hiatus for the remainder of this month.

I have put in some work in the last few days going through hand histories, watching a few videos and reading some strategy articles. There are definitely some leaks in my game that need plugging and I think a sustained off period is the best way to commit myself to some "away from the table" work.

I am going to spend the next three weeks going through everything - a complete from the ground up type approach to my MTT game. I have some Deuces Cracked videos to work through, will probably post some strat articles here and talk to people I know I can bounce ideas around with.

I think this will be really good for my long term poker game and give us more chance to chase those $$$$$$$$.

[mporter123]

Completely broke down and rebuilt my HUD, I am very happy with it now. I have done a decent chunk of work on a good HUD set up combined with tagging players and note taking.

Fired up a tournament just to check the HUD looked fine in game and so I could make a few tweaks. Lols at this, nice to know not much has changed since I have been away.

Saying that, I have done more work on my game in the last 10 days or so than I have in the last year.

Lots more to do of course, a mixture of videos, going through hand histories, and some theory work. I don"t think I have been doing anything horribly wrong but I will be honest - I am finding a lot of small mistakes here and there. Slightly wrong bet sizings, not adjusting ranges well pre flop, not defending enough big blinds, more work needed on sub 30bb strategy, 3bet ranges and sizings etc.

Lots more to do, won"t be playing online until at least after Stoke. Looking at investing in a desk and monitor set up too - every little helps.

[mporter123]

I will probably one table today to start putting things into practice.

Will post details later in the week of reload plans prior to getting back on it properly in Feb.

Balance is $515.13. Played the Bigger $11 tonight but did not cash.

[mporter123]

$500.72.

Day off work today, going to see Jake Bugg this evening. Just a few tournaments this morning, min cashed the Hot $3.30 for the only cash. I made a mistake busting in an $8.80 500 cap as well which is annoying.

We still have an £11 token to use for an EPT grand final sat which was the deposit bonus. It doesn"t expire until April, I am trying to keep an eye out for any sats that aren"t hypers.

[mporter123]

Jake Bugg was amazing, poker less so.

$444.86. A small session yesterday and the same today but without much luck. Will be at it again next week.
