Over the past 2 weeks, I have been immersed in online poker whenever I could be due to two online poker series running concurrently (SCOOP on Pokerstars and Mini FTOPS on Full Tilt). I'm not sure how I feel yet about my results. I did turn a little profit which is always nice. However, I really felt like I was on top of my game for the vast majority of time, and I thought I ran below expectations to only turn a small profit. This is obviously disappointing, but with the WSOP just around the corner, I am very encouraged with my game.
Here are some of the numbers:
Cashed in 5/23 SCOOP-Lows, 5/20 SCOOP-Mediums, 0/1 SCOOP High, 3/9 Mini FTOPS.
In total I cashed in 13 of the 53 events I played (just under 25%).
Most importantly though is some of the deep finishes:
2nd of 697 in Pot Limit 5 Card Draw
37th of 8504 in No Limit Shootout
43rd of 2004 in 8 Game Mixed
54th of 2041 in Pot Limit Omaha H/L
35th of 687 in Pot Limit Omaha H/L
This is what has me encouraged and disappointed at the same time. Five deep runs in 53 tournaments is outstanding. But I have to turn more of these deep runs into big scores otherwise it doesn't mean too much. The WSOP is the perfect venue for me to breakout. If I can keep playing this way, and catch just a bit of luck, I will come home a big winner this summer.

I would play as many mixed games as possible at the WSOP.
I would play as many tournaments as possible. Your play and strategy have slightly changed, but the results are obvious. With your edge in live play, I think you just need to get after it. Stay healthy. Start eating well. Maybe, start working out. Try to go all out in order to get the best results possible.
I plan on working out every day before play. I assume MasterJ and maybe Seth will be coming along. I will also be eating very well, and by "well" I mean "a ton", not necessarily healthy. Anyways, I am really looking forward to both endeavors and would encourage you to join.
i would also go for as many mixed games as possible. 25% on the scoop sounds like a nice take- taking into account from what ive read on other blog sites and my own experience :|.
