End of month update
Goals: Cold showers were a success this month but struggled a lot with meditation. My sleep stayed somewhat together with the most nights being pretty good and I felt my game was better as a result.
Poker: Hit a longish downswing at the end but came out with 4th place in a $22 MTT. Felt like I was running terrible in those last 400 games but held through and just tried to play my best. Started playing at 9pm because I didn't have uni the next day and hell if I run deep I don't mind staying up till 4am and playing a big FT. Ended up paying off
My main realization from this score and from other sessions in general is that while I think I can just go and play a ton of tables and be profitable, I'm not really improving as much as I can and making great plays + exploiting enough. Towards the end of the session ~12am I had 2 tables left and didn't load 6max hypers with the MTTs so I could concentrate more on those two deep runs which let me think a lot more about the correct decisions. Last 3.5hrs was just 1 tabling. Ended up making some exploit folds to 3bets pre when I might've just thought "I have AQ ez get in with 25bb" which sometimes happens when I play 8 tables but notice that the guy has 4% 3bet over like 200 hands and is playing 12/10 and has me crushed. Just really surprised by how much of a difference adding those extra 7 tables might've affected my play at the end.
Needless to say a great finish to a solid month
