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.
