Results for February:
https://gyazo.com/801ff4b383cc7a0042aa8775824ca69a
-$30.5 in MTTs, - $47 untracked sites.

Total net winnings are about $3,210. my biggest winning month ever

Put in slightly less than 34k hands at tables, this is my biggest volume month ever, but was still somewhat lazy and can def improve on this. I was also very lazy with studying, put in basically zero hours, not even watching training videos or anything .

Goals for march are to continue grinding 100 and 50nl, would like to get 40,000 hands this month in. Won't set any goals for profit or specific goals for studying.

Some hands:

              https://gyazo.com/e503857d5a67f54c6ac5568559254b95

              mediocre volume, which puts me decently behind schedule of my goal of 40K hands for this month. Results were OK, cant complain with having winning week. Last night i dropped three buyins in like 5 minutes which obv ruined results, but all were standard spots so whatever.
              Also down -$20 in MTTs. haha, havn't even mincash a tourney in the past -15 ive played. Pretty standard run but obv fraustrauting and am just going to focus on cash as my EV is way higher.

              I moved home due to Corona so don't have my normal setup/monitor which makes grinding/playing more than 6 tables more difficult. Will just have to play more sessions and attempt to make them longer than usual.

                            have been really bored/demotivated with poker recently. Might just be laziness or feeling meh about recent results but whatever. This week will be extremely low volume; barely played last 3 days and then have exam this weekend i will have to study for. prob wont play more from here so here are results I got.

                            gonna do a mini challenge for next week results, want to get in 14K hands in which will be pretty high for me. Also site I play on is having a tournament series and going to play a lot of the micro and low stakes tourneys. GL!
