50K Day23: Struggle Town

I guess it's not that bad. Kind of frustrating though to come back from a long break and insta dump 6BIs. Basically having to deal with 4 or 5 hands like this every day which isn't too fun.

I also started playing tourneys on the side and whilst they helped a ton to get volume in (am on track to win the propbet... although I have to profit) I feel like my edge isn't that great in them and they tend to distract me from the cash games. I don't know what it is about my game but I can't play more than 1 type of poker at a time, even 6max and a few tables of fullring totally screws me up. So from now on I think I'll just play a few juicy tourneys here and there and focus back on the cash games, maybe turning into a tourney grinder whenever I'm low on motivation and need something to strap me to the computer for 6 hours.

Things like this is exactly why you should come to India.

India - where variance doesn't exist.
