Bankroll stands at $508 with a couple days to go in the month and 87 FPPs to get two pretty stars next to my name (which I will hide anyway).

I'm going to attribute the modest success I've had to the following factors, to name a few (sorry if they don't apply to you but it is my blog after all):

For what it's worth:

-don't play poker with a kid on your lap, or even in the same room. Exceptions can be made for sleeping infants.

-don't play with the computer room/desk messy (not sure why, but this tilts/distracts me)

-playing angry is okay, so is playing tired (I'm a father of two little babies so I'm always tired). Playing bored is not, because I try to create opportunities that don't exist... i.e. i bluff too much.

-don't snap call shoves, esp. with overpairs. Most people at 50NL will only give up on AA against flush boards... I need to get out of the habit of thinking, "well, I'm beating KK and QQ!" if I want to separate myself from the rest of the donks.

-ace-rag is getting less and less appealing the more I play, even shorthanded. I like my decisions to be easy, and it rarely is when you hit your ace with a bad kicker.

-I've played better because I have played 6max almost exclusively.

Next post'll cover the glorious end to this op, and perhaps what I should do next.

Hasta Luego.
