i've been running good lately. which is good. i've also been studying less. which is bad. seeing as i'm ahead of schedule for my volume goals, i think i'll dedicate the most part of my poker time between now and monday studying. it seems any time i start running well i start to become complacent - playing more, studying less, and gradually playing worse (and in less optimal conditions) as a result. it seems (for me anyway) more enticing to sit down and play that session when i know i'm a little too tired/inattentive or whatever if i've been on a heater for my last 10k hands. everything just seems more optimistic. any deviation from the neutral mindset i try to maintain at the tables is -EV imo, whether associated with negative or positive emotions. i have a heap of HH's marked for review which i'm keen to get into. i've been value-betting far thinner lately with a good amount of success, which is exciting for me, so i'll try to find some HH's where i bet for value in spots i may not have in the past and see if my value bets are becoming better or if i'm just running into the right part of people's ranges over the small sample. probably won't be of much interest to many but it seems to be the best way for me to refine my intuition at the tables. so hopefully i find some time to do that. had a pretty long sweat session with chatzilla last night which was pretty cool to be able to talk poker strategy in real-time as i/he played. i certainly think that i benefitted from it. anyway, that's enough from me.

ps playing multiple short sessions instead of 1 or 2 big ones is the nuts.
