April was a rough month. I was in the black, but just barely. Of course statistical variance is going to happen and players know that every month won't be a winning month, unless maybe they play 100,000 hands or more per month (some players do) which makes short-term variance a non-factor.
In this case, it wasn't about variance. I just didn't play well. I let myself get distracted and made a lot of dumb mistakes.
I'm still working on things, learning new things, and dealing with difficult situations. In my previous post I mentioned the problems that I'm having with sleeping and with playing on weekends. I think that I understand what I need to do about that and other issues. Some of the problems can be more easily solved than others, but I have some ideas to make things work better. I'll talk about that future posts, but I'll tease with this:
I will be playing on a second sight very soon. That will give me more options for when I play and when I can sleep. I won't be locked into playing the same block of tournaments every night.
On a positive note, I did see one thing in my numbers that I liked. I always try to spend at least 25% of my poker time studying. I let that slip for a while, but I've been working on bringing that number up. I don't have the number for the month, but in the last week of April my study percentage was 22%. If I keep working on that it will make a big difference in my results.
Without further ado, here are the numbers:
