November results. I feel kind of meh about it to tbh, but I'll never complain about a $8k+ month, esp when I took the last week off. I think I shook off the rust from my 6-week layoff pretty quickly and made some improvements to my game. I identified a few leaks (calling too many 3bets, stacking off too lightly pre-flop, too many hero calls vs. uncreative taggs) and am plugging them slowly but surely. I'm definitely more aware of my mental state during a session and have been able to snap myself back into a mindful, focused state after losing concentration or just beginning to tilt. I've said it before but it bears repeating, if you table select carefully and don't tilt you'll beat almost any game out there.

In other news, I got a full-time job that will start either very soon or the beginning of January. So my six-month career as a poker pro will come to an end. It's bittersweet. Bitter because I love playing poker for a living... the money's great, I'm my own boss, and I work less than 30 hours/week leaving tons of time for other things I enjoy (reading, cooking, exercising, drinking). But it's sweet because I'm excited about the job, it will offer more financial security and a chance to use my excess of education. It should also allow for a decent amount of part-time pokering. I had a huge year last year playing less than ten hours a week, so I know it can be done. With a steady paycheck coming in I'll loosen up my bankroll requirements a bit and make a return to 5/10 and hopefully above!
