Making Progress Online? (3/31/2011)

I at least feel like I'm making some progress online for once.  I finished the online week logging 29 hours and finishing up +$400.  The entire time I was pretty much 8-12 tabling.  I wasn't up a lot, but for me that was a good finish.  

Two sessions in particular jumped out at me.  Sunday I logged 11 hours.  The second session went from 12:45 a.m- 8:00 a.m (7 hours).  I didn't plan this 7 hour session I just got into a groove, felt like playing, and enjoyed myself.  I only finshed that session up +$65, but I played solid.

Tuesday I logged 9 hours.  The second session went from 11:15 p.m- 5:45 a.m (6.5 hours).  Again I didn't plan the session length.  I just got into a comfortable groove and kept playing.  I also finally logged a decent profit up +$380 during those 6.5 hours.  I peaked at about 14 tables during that session.

So I think the 7 hour and 6.5 hour unplanned sessions were indicators of progress.  This week was the most comfortable I've felt online this year.  I think my skill is improving weekly, I'm tilting less, I'm spewing less, and feeling all around more comfortable.

Last night I took a break and got drunk with my new roommates which was fun.  The one roommate left and two girls moved into the third bedroom.  So it's baglife in the main room, a girl in the second room, and two girls in the third room.  The girl in the second room is dating a guy who basically lives here also.  It's good to have more people around, it might keep me sane for a while.  I swear I've created a Jersey Shore house lol, good times.  Should be a really fun summer as long as poker goes decent.

I'm off to the casino to start the live part of my week after I finish this paragraph.  If I feel terrible I might cut the session sort and aim for more of a quota night (ok that never happens).  If I can win +$1,000 on Thursday and Friday combined I might take off Saturday and go out.  But most likely I will be grinding the usual Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
