I'm a fucking idiot and thought I played 2k more hands this month. I play on two different computers since I have to be at my apartment as well as my parents' house off and on and I left my apartment thinking I played 13k hands when I only played 11k. This leaves me with 19k hands played this month and a loss of a prop bet with Griff. Griff was very kind enough to allow me to only pay half which I am embarrassed about. Here's the whole results:
So as you can see my won money without showdown went wayyyyyy downhill as the month went on but I also started winning a lot more. I think this has to do with playing a very weaker/tighter style that produced less variance and relied on playing pots primarily with the fish IP as opposed to the regulars. I also understand that this shouldn't be right completely and I am missing out a ton on some crucial spots.
Here are some things I learned this month:
1. Never ever underestimate the value of having fish sitting to your right.
2. Leave when the table gets filled with semi-decent regs, it's just not worth it to win the ego war.
3. After playing a short session and you find youself having lost money that has nothing to do with bad play/tilt, recollect yourself and continue to play more hands as long as rules 1 and 2 apply.
4. Playing tighter preflop, at least how I have been playing, causes less variance but most likely causes you to miss out on value in other spots. I need to find a medium.
