Ugh. I finally ran into some coolers and had some bad beats over these last 2k hands. Since Thursday i am down 1 buy in, but considering how things went i am pleasantly surprised with the results.

I find i can't help but think about poker when i try to fall asleep. If i played a session that day, i usually end up reviewing all of the biggest pots i played in my head. I feel i do a good job being objective when determining mine and my opponents ranges in the hand, and it helps me to decide if a different decision on an earlier street would have positively altered the outcome. I am sure i am not the only one who does this on a fairly regular basis, but most weeknights i end up awake until 12:30-1AM and have to be up at 6:30 for work so by Friday i end up being very tired (i can't seem to take naps unless i am sick).

I seriously considered sitting at some 400NL tables today, but i am going to wait until my BR on Pokerstars hits 7k before i start taking shots. So, i need to profit around 7 more buy ins at 200NL; probably no more than 8-10k hands or 2-3 weeks.

In regards to my operation as a whole, i will consider my operation successful once i have played 15k hands of 400NL. If things continue to go as they are, i feel it is very possible i will be able to achieve this before 01/08.
