jan update

Well I played a few tournaments today. I decided to mix it up and play some lower buy in mtts and also $7.70/180s to get away from the regfests that the $12/180s have become. I finished 4th in a $7.70, cashed in about half the mtts, and got deep in the TLB top 1000 freeroll. The final hand of the freeroll I got it in preflop with AK vs AQ for a 24bb pot but lost on a 5-8-7-4-Q board. So frustrating because I was card dead for the last 5 or so orbits and I had a really nice stack going once we got near the money.
I also took some really lame beats in the $7.70s and mtts. In the $3r I had a great stack but shoved JJ into QQ. It was a really bad shove on my part, but a tough to play hand. A loose opener raised 4x utg+2 and with 5k in the pot and my stack at 23k and my opponents at 25k I decided to shove. I could have tried to play the hand out of position but thought my opponent my have 88, 99, 10-10, AQ, or AK enough of the time to make a shove correct.
Still down ~$500 this month. I’m going to change up my playing schedule to 6:30am to 10:30am each day and work on websites the rest of the day. This should improve my results.
