Had a long session last night - about 4 hours. Some good things from the sessions.

1. Played 5 tables for some of the session, and found that it's sometimes still just that bit too much but within my capabilities when I'm really "on" mentally. Playing fewer tables allows me to really exploit every player on each table, but 5 had me playing "robotic poker" on some hands. I didn't spew, but I think I need to go back to 4 for a few thousand more hands. Too much advantage on the TAGG-fish who are playing metronome poker and on the donk-fish who play non-standard lines and totally telegraph their hand strength at least half the time.

2. Played a long session without too much drop-off in effectiveness. Because of my lifestyle, poker usually comes in 45 - 90 minute sessions. So playing 4 hours with a few short breaks and keeping on my A game was good.

3. I was down 2 BI overall, but I didn't play badly. I was stuck for as much as 4 BI's, then back up and then stuck for 3.5 BI. I just played the game, not really getting much help from the deck, and finished strong. I must admit to being impressed with the guys who can grind poker 7 or 8 hours a day. Playing your best game that length of time must be really difficult. I have no trouble playing and staying on my game when things go my way, but when I'm not winning I wanna just quit playing.

4. Got my weekly rakeback for my first full week at 100nl: $120. That was 4-tabling but playing a lot. So it would be nice to be 5-tabling and add 20% to that total.

5. I've been rereading a lot of classic FTR content to try to help my game. ISF, fnord, nutsinho, spoony, etc. I get a ton more out of each thread these days since I'm not hopeless at ranges.

Some things I need to do:

1. Better/more session reviews.

2. More range practice, especially when reviewing the big hands from previous sessions.

3. Stop letting certain posters on FTR tilt me.
