Well, so far, so good. I still have a hell of a lot of improvement to go (of course), but December has now officially been my best month ever:
Tables: +$864
Bonuses/RB: +$353
TOTAL: +$1,217
All at 50NL - not too bad. Still a couple of buy-ins short of lifetime breakeven at 50NL, but I'm getting close now!
To be honest I think most of the improvement so far has come from tightening up preflop (and getting in way fewer tricky spots post-flop as a result). I've gone from something like 23/18 for most of this year to 19/16 this month, with most of the new folds being marginal hands like KJ, QJ, KT and QT in early position.
I'm also 3betting a lot more preflop (up from 4% to over 6%), and generally trying to continue to be selectively aggressive, but choosing my spots better (basically by thinking about it rather than blindly firing).
There's no doubt my mindset has improved too, both in terms of tilt control and thinking through my decisions at the table. Still plenty of improvement to come though. I need to use my off-table time more effectively for this (eg. by practicing ranges more and posting more hands), which will be a focus for January.
I am going on vacation tomorrow for a week and a half, and will have no internet connection. So no poker and no FTR for me for a while. I'll be using the time to read a couple of poker books, practice ranges in my PT3 database, watch a few vids and make some goals for the coming month/year.
So happy new year to all, and see you in January!
