New Year, Same Results :D - MMAsherdog Blog

Maybe I'm about to jinx the rest of the year, but it seems like 2021 will be a good poker year for me.
The games were quite polarizing. Often mediocre but sometimes amazing.
I've put in okay volume, played pretty well and also run good.

I will be travelling to Brazil next week to enjoy some time alone, and to focus on grinding hard. I want to keep that up for a few months, and then enjoy a bit of time off in summer, hopefully with my friend and family.

*I was down 3k in the nosebleed games total, all profit came from lower stakes
