Nov - biggest month of the year

November turned out to be my biggest month of the year, with my biggest single cash as well. I had 25,400 in profit during the month, with a 79.22% ROI over roughly 275 MTTs. I made a couple hundred in rakeback and about 1200 in staking, so about a 26.5k month. Overall I was very happy how the month went - I ran way above my expectation which is always nice. Ive been working on some new ideas with my game - been floating alot more in spots I normally use to just give up and have had some good results. BvB or Bv button type of spots usually involve very marginal hands, so really it comes down to outplaying your opponent and setting up certain lines as well.....My handreading has also improved - I think Ive been doing well with combining bet sizing and different lines to put my opponents on more accurate ranges. Overall things continue to head in the right direction - Im glad I made the transition to MTTs but wish I did it earlier - so many months/years were spent on SNGs grinding out basically bonuses which never helped me improve in terms of poker. Its so easy to get complacent in your abilities and never improve, and when your dealing with rake races theres no need to. Now I cant fully knock SNGs - they were key to getting me going in poker - but in terms of getting better theyre a brick wall. The bottom line is you get better at things in life by challenging yourself and facing tougher obstacles - the same applies to poker. The deeper the stacks and the better the players the tougher it is and the more you learn.

Outside of poker I bought a new laptop the other day - my old one was from 2003 and was getting pretty beat up these days. I ended up going with a Gateway I saw that got high reviews on Cnet, and thus far its been working great. Its amazing how much nicer it is over my old laptop and the ease of use/speed is amazing. Its sad I waited this long to buy the damn thing lol. Its so nice to have 10 games going, 4 different poker sites open, aim, a couple websites, and have zero slowdown! Anyways in December I plan on getting in atleast 300 MTTs -I might also be making a trip out to AC for a WSOPC event or two, although Ill probably endu p playing more cash then anything. Live MTTs sound fun but I don't think I want to sit there for hours. We shall see.
