November is almost over and it has been the month where I played the most hands ever (97K). During this period I had my biggest downswing and break-even swing ever. This downswing was about 23 buy-ins and the break-even swing lasted for almost 60K hands.
During my time as a pro I've had this periods (although a little bit shorter) more then once and it always ended with a huge upswing and it was the same this time, because I ended this month with my best week ever.
Suddenly al my draws seems to hit, flips are are coming my way and donks donate there money to me instead of me donating to them and then seeing some other reg going away with it. During this week I won more then 40 buy-ins, with 7 straight win days in a row all of them with more then 5 buyins...So in the end November ended quite good with a little more then 60 buyins profit. All in all my second best month ever.
A nice hand to show that there is still hope for people trying to move up...

Grinding....
Sorry for the lack of updates recently , but I've been playing a lot this month.
For november I had a goal to play around 80K-100K hands and so far I'm on track with already 65K hands. But the results are very disappointing so far.
I lost another $2500 pot (flush over flush) on NL400 last week against a terrible player (who managed to run $40 into $4000!! within 2,5 hours).
It's always easy to blame disappointing results to variance, offcourse some part is variance as I'm running way below EV and another funny thing I noticed is that I didn't give any bad beats (all-in with less then 35% equity for at least 75BB) for the past 28K hands...but I've also the feeling that I'm not playing my best game the past 100K hands. I just need to learn to fold more in spots where I just know I'm beat, if it was possible to see ones hand even when you folded it would save me (and a lot of other players) so much money.
