Oh November, I tried but you wouldn't let me

0

I played an amazing month given the circumstances. November was a tough month with many large losing days, most of which were Sunday, shockingly enough. I also took a piece of some people in some high stakes action and they all failed miserably. Tournaments went okay, even though I think I am down a fair bit in them as well. I made some mid cashes in a few tournies, but busted all my $700 PCA qualifiers. Overall this month is a really big hit to my bankroll, I lost at least 35% of it. This means I will be playing less 25/50 for the time being, and just working on grinding back what I have lost (not that I am looking at it that way, it wasn't my money to begin with, it was my tool for making money). At 25/50 I ran 11 buy ins under EV, which is very crappy since I was already taking a shot just by playing it. At 10/20 I ran 12 buy ins under EV. At 5/10 I pwned and made 20 buy ins. I played really well and picked really good spots, but to no avail. I will be back soon and still sitting when huge fish sit, but I will be more careful with my multitabling, which definitely got out of hand in November. I remember playing 18 tables with like 1 headsup and 2 25/50 6max, that just seems silly. The reason I played them all was because each table individually was a +EV spot, but I timed out so many times its tough to say how much I lost by not having enough time to play each table, but its in the thousands for sure.

I am not angry tilted, but more likely slightly depressed semi-tilted. I just wanna grind my way back to the top ASAP, because being at the top feels so good, keeping you in a good mental state, and it opens so many good opportunities, allowing you to get better and make money.
