I'm probably about to jinx myself, but everything seems to be going rather well at the moment. My move up to 200nl has been most successful, I'm running at ~4ptBB/100 over my first 40k hands, which is much better than my lifetime 100nl winrate! Obviously I'm running hot, but I'm going to enjoy it Table selecting has been a HUGE part of my improved winrate, my attitude to table selection used to be pick the first 24 and only get a new table if one I'm on breaks. Now I join waiting lists, leave tables I don't like, ignore bad tables with empty seats for long periods of time etc. etc.

Everyone seems to want to spew at me at the moment. I have got quite a bad image a lot of the time but by using notes I know which players hate me and which players I haven't got out of line vs. so I avoid spewing unnecesarily when I have a clean image. For instance, today I flatted a nits MP open with QQ on the SB. He wasn't playing many tables so I thought it was likely he'd noticed (it went to showdown and I won as well so he would have seen my cards.) This then gave me the freedom to 3bet even against this nit quite liberally because he has no reason to believe I'm 3betting wide. I'm trying to constantly adjust and keep track of my image and history vs. every player, I think this is an intergral part of my development.

With that in mind, here's a hand from yesterday. I had a note "probably thinks I 3bet far too much". He runs a nitty 12/8 or something.

When I 3bet the flop, basically I wanted to look FOS. I knew I had a bad image and he might get frisky w/ AK or something. I really wasn't expecting KK though. Looking at it again, I can kind of understand his point of view. "This guy is too aggro, I'll call and trap with the kings. I'm a fucking retard so I c/minraise flop and over-rep my hand (more likely "I HAVE THE NUTS KINGS WHOOO"), what, he three-bets, he's so FOS. c/r turn woop."

It's pretty fun when everyone decides to throw money at you. So far for the month I am up ~7.5k including -$120 donkamenting which I haven't done for ages and probs suck at. CMON 10k month pleeeeaaaaaaaseee

Afterthough - I forgot to mention that I've started using HEM and it's amazing so far. New HUD tilt only lasted for ~30mins It's a great piece of kit and I wholeheartedly recommend it over PT3 (which I also bought a while back ) Also, I've started using a few AHK scripts, including stars assistant which has an auto timebank clicker - crucial for mixing fast and normal speed tables.
