Dancing with the one who brung me

Every so often, I like to take stock of my poker life. This can't be too often, since I want to be able to identify trends. The most basic thing to look at is where you're making money and where you're losing money. Here's a summary of my 2016 poker year to date:

    delta  num_hands  count  style       flavor

$-155,084     47,232    981

For the remainder of the year, I'm going to dance with the one who brung me - namely, MTT NLHE. I need to swear off MTT 8-games for the time being, no matter how fun they are to play. I'm deadly serious about ending my 2016 poker year in the black.
