We're more or less up to date I suppose, I just had a brief look back and I made a few posts about being back on the tournament circuit from March of last year following our exciting adventure round Chile.

I put my heart and soul into tournaments last year - studied so hard and grinded everything - no joy. It was disheartening at points and tough emotionally - I've never actually grinded tournaments fulltime, always been somewhere between 50 and 100% cash volume, so subjecting myself to the variance fulltime was going to be a challenge if I didn't hit the ground running. I really enjoyed the studying process and learning new things. I felt so prepared but there's just so little you can do to affect the outcomes it's quite hopeless at times!
By the end of the year I felt I needed to get some cash hours under my belt for my sanity so explored the scene in LA. I think I'll have to wait to write more about that since it's ongoing. I'm going back there mid February for the LAPC.
I'm certainly glad to see the back of 2022, very nearly my first losing year in poker - and certainly a losing year overall what with cyrpto, the markets etc.
Feeling positive about 2023 though. It's been good to "zoom out" during the break, and remind myself of my WSOP main 37th end of 2021, remind myself it's only 8 months of live tournaments etc etc.
Plan for the next month is
-DTD UKPC 12-16th
-Cyprus Merit Poker Western Series 20-26th
Paris WPT Prime 31-5th
Will do updates here when I can - I feel the diary rungood will return with a venegance!
