I fond I was playing too passively in January. I was attempting to correct some of my super-LAGginess and as a result wasn't gambling enough.
As a result I was having a Hellmuthian experience: I was frequently getting all in with the best hand and getting outdrawn. It took me a while to remember that winning tournaments often involves getting in with the worst hand.

This left me often frustrated and not in my best mindset for playing poker.

I also found I became remarkably loose-passive with a deep stack. When I have 15-20k in the 2nd hour of an 11r and the blinds are 75-150, the small pots don't seem to mean as much, and I would limp more speculative hands and just give up if I didn't hit big. Just cranking up the aggression a little on those hands built bigger pots when I hit and allowed me to pick them up more when I didn't.

And the aggression is back: PT has my stats from today's 25k at 34/24. Even discounting the rebuy hour that's pretty damn LAGgy.
