I only had one cash in the FTOPS, but I played a very small schedule. I finished 46th in event 19 (out of some 2200-odd). A deep run that I couldn't quite sustain until the end. Disappointing, but tournaments usually are.

So it's back to the heads-up. I'm still playing this on the regular, though I had a tough session today (lost two flips for stacks and two other stacks where I got the money in as a big favorite). Nothing you can do about running bad, although I don't think I had my A-game today. Again, focusing on bringing that every time is vital to my progress as a player.

It seems like I'm moving in the right direction, though, and it's just going to be a work in progress as I work to maintain the discipline full time and continue to plug leaks. The goal is to play perfectly all the time; I will probably fail, but as long as I don't beat myself up over mistakes and continue to learn why things work and don't work, I will at least play well most of the time.

A little more in the next day or two as I have a couple of random thoughts.
