Very solid day overall to start the year off. I knew I was going to be a bit rusty going into this year because I took the majority of December off from the grind. So to limit the amount of rust I did a solid 3 hours of review. Went over a bunch of things to get my mind right before hitting the tables.
The review paid off and I felt that I played really well for my first day back. Games were very good yesterday and I managed to find some pretty big whales. For example here I was given an gift:

Overall yesterday was a very productive day and I am happy with how I approached it and with how things went. Im going to be doing a lot of the same today. Lots of review this morning, some studying and working on my HU game later on before the grind. Its all about putting in that work!
Lets keep it going. GL at the tables today to all of you.
