Haven't updated in a while just been on the grind. Basically TCOOP happened along with a lot of other things. Sold some action for all of the big MTT shots I took but doesn't detract away from the massive downswing I had. In january I shot took some 60s and 100s here and there when the games were looking soft. Didn't go very well though, ended up losing like every hyper I played so like 40BI under EV on my shots. Then dropped back down and continued to run bad in like everything I played for what seemed like forever. I go back and look at it and realize it was less than 2k games.
In early feb I was down to like a $800 roll at one point but then I shipped a hot $4.40 last sunday which really padded my roll back up to a decent level. Really started to question whether I was actually a good player or not. I went to play cash when I was at ~$1500 roll at 50nl and eventually had to drop back down to 25nl. Was getting coolered in so many spots preflop and postflop. Felt like every 3bet pot I would run my overpair into a set and get stacked. Ran KK into AA countless times and just kept losing. Here are the tourney graph and the cash graph for this year so far.
So basically just going to continue rebuilding my roll in cash games and MTTs. Likely going to playing mostly cash but also MTTs when I have a decent sized time slot to grind those. Also had a few HH reviews with my coaches (Bencb and HealTheWorld) and have really been putting in the time to improve my game. I'm confident I can beat the games but it's really just about consistently putting in the hours, playing solid and just riding along through all the variance.
Have for the most part quit playing the 6max hypers because I'm becoming more interested in developing my cash game and postflop skills in MTTs. With the stars rakeback changes this year and the declining volume in hypers I see the cash+MTT combination of grinding to be more sustainable and profitable for me in the long run. Definitely not looking to grind MTTs full time though as I don't really see the hours as something sustainable for me to do this year in conjunction with my final year of uni.
