Well, been a few days with this...took one day off and then haven't really had time to get stuff posted after I finish playing for the night.

Been a great few days though since last post...got $41 in rakeback for last month (was only about 1/2 month @ about 300 hands per day so hoping it will increase) and managed to lose that + another $30 or so on the 13th after taking the 12th off to reset my mind but did clear $20 bonus so wasn't too bad.

Took the 14th off as well and started back on the 15th since I can only miss one more day for iron man status this month and want to go see HPOotP with friends tomorrow....managed to get up $128 yesterday and then another $80 tonight.

Started off well (goal was to crak the $1k mark on FT and was at $973), got up to $1030 but still had about 180 points to go and since I'm trying to force myself to handle structured playing will set goals (such as time, hands played, etc) I stayed playing and with about 120 hands to go I was down to $950 with a combination of bad luck and bad play (such as betting into an A3J flop with QQ and finding the other two players with AA and 33, but I managed to fold the turn )

I settled back into things, got a few wins up and just kep rolling along until I ended the night at $1053 and my br at it's highest level of $2485....so close to that next goal of moving past the stagnation point I've been at for so long.

I think I still left a bit of money on the table the last few nights by only calling or cheking behind on the river with second nuts after opponents have played strangely....am still a little scared to fire second barrels at times when I miss the flop and the highest card is in opponents range, etc.

I want to get those sort of things fixed before moving up but I guess if I leave $10 on the table with a $40 pot I'm still up compared to getting c/r and mis-calling.

Anyway, will get at least a few hands in tomorrow night to get me over $2.5k and then starts the march to $3k to clear the bonus and start taking little looks at $100NL.
