I would say overall this was a good month in terms of life balance and overall self improvement. I joined a local, but small gym and started going regularly as well as eating cleaner. Additionally, I enrolled in some classes and met with an academic advisor to stay on top of my academics. Without a doubt, I am a better person in several ways than I was a month ago.
With that said, poker was pretty **** this month and I'm not going to sugar coat things. The plan for this review is just to get it done and move on. That is the reason I am updating before the month is over, because I need to take a break and refocus as well as regroup.
✫ 10$ Hypers ✫
In the end, I just play these to take it easy and try new things and add extra volume. Will always feel comfortable and crush them.
✫ 25$ Hypers ✫
These went absolutely horrid this month. Lack of focus, too many tables at once, lot of reg battling, ran badly, bad cd, blahblahblah onto next month. Atrocious.
✫ 50$ Hypers ✫
Did not get in as much volume as I would have liked since it's mostly reg battling. Whenever I had the opportunity I would grab a lobby even though it would usually result in playing a reg. I need a bigger bankroll to really have a go at them.
✫ All Hypers ✫
Just an overall graph combining 10s, 25s and 50s for the month. Naturally the graph looks weird since the 50s graph had an impact and 25s were atrocious, but this is how it looks overall.
✫ MTTs ✫
Overall I didn't play very many of these since when I joined the gym, I wanted to be able to snap stop my sesh to go lift. Therefore, I do not know my future in terms of MTTs at the minute.

To wrap things up, it was a pretty ****ty month overall in terms of poker. Although, that is not all that matters and all things considered, it was a good month. I am grateful for that and happy with the direction my life is heading. At times I forget that poker is just a card game and as seriously as I take it, it is far from my only option and I have other ambitions that are ultimately more important to me. Perhaps I lost sight of my poker goal this past month, but I will come back strong in February and do my best as always.
One last tidbit, in total, I played two live 1/2 sessions this month and profited a minor amount. Nothing noteworthy, but I plan to play more live in the future and track my results on my phone. I will also continue to play DFS as I think I have a solid ROI and am even considering upping my operation. That's it for now everyone, remember, get better not bitter!
