Week 4 was more of the same.  Not sure why I played so few hands.  I vaguely remember shortening some sessions because I was sweating like a pig (the AC has since been fixed).  But less than 18K hands when I've been home all week is pretty poor.  I've gotta stop slackin'.  I put in a 12 hour session yesterday, and I felt pretty good afterward, so I think I can get back on track.  I have two more days of grinding left in the month!

Weird that I don't remember getting all of that run good, but maybe it's because I got wanged a bunch of times on the river, so I felt somewhat unlucky.  It's hard to tell from the graph, but I feel like I'm playing better.  Still plenty of room for improvement tho.

Now that I'm feeling better about some of the things I'm doing, I decided to re-expand my horizons and start playing the shallow tables and MTTs again.  I just don't understand how I can't cash in an MTT - like I really don't think I'm playing poorly, but I can't cash in one of those things to save my life.  Not to sound like a fish, but online tournaments are seriously rigged.

Fortunately, I've been using my Ironman medals and FT points to get the $75 tourney tickets, so it hasn't actually cost me any "cash."  I'm thinking I may be having trouble playing with shallow stacks (since I can't get in the money), so I'm putzing around with different things at the shallow tables - mostly min raising as a core strategy and 3betting light.  FTOPS starts again in a few weeks, so I really want to try and make a few good runs.  C'mon!  One time!
