Decent Weekend Live (1/23/2011)

Live went decent this weekend.  I put in limited volume (feeling terrible most of the time) and won over $600 total.  Tonight I forced myself to leave the casino.  As in I won over $200 and just left after a 4 hour session.  I really wanted to finish off the weekend logging a decent win and feeling good.  Also I'm just starting to feel better from the flu, so I wanted to get a good sleep tonight.  It ended in me swiping out around 1 a.m and the floor person responding "WHAT???? ALREADY??"

So I became a quota player tonight for perhaps the first time ever.  Ok actually I almost went back and played another 2-3 hour session after dinner.  I flipped a coin and told myself if it landed on heads I would play another small session.  It landed on tails, giving me another reason to leave for once.

On 1-2 I eeked back over the 6k profit mark, which means I'll take a shot at 2-5 the next time I play.  I'm not sure what my buy-in will be.  Probably around $250-$300.  $250 would be a nice short advantage, but I'll probably need around $300 to give myself the implied odds to play hands that I want.  Most of the players on 2-5 tables seem to be sitting there with $500-$2000 stacks.  I'll gladly be short and take my mathematical advantage.  I think there is great value in buying in "shorter" on massively deep stacked 2-5 games.  Just double, win $250-$300, leave and come back whenever.  Though if I lose the pending 2-5 session I may go back on 1-2 until I get back over the 6k mark.  I'll keep repeating the process until I bink a 2-5 win, eventually I'll earn the freedom to play whatever limit I want live.

Not sure what the plan is tomorrow.  I wanted to get in some volume online, but I might have to hang out with the girl later.  Things are going well with her.  If we end up hanging out I'll probably only get in 3 hours max.  If we don't hang out I'll try to get in at least 8 hours.  That's about it.  Lots to look forward to live, meanwhile online is still somewhat shaky.  I just need to hang in there and keep working hard until I clear another bonus.  And not flip out.
