February started off on a high note but ended with a free fall.

Even though I essentially missed almost 10 days of play due to sickness, I still managed 100 games. I think I pushed a bit too hard to make 100 and played when I was not really feeling up to it.

Games Played: 100/120
Hrs played: 15:40
ABI: $8.76
Profit: $62.00 :(
ROI: 7% :(

Been Feeling like Crap

Only 3 tabled a 5 game session. Man it's a good thing I am sick, cause running 3 tables would make me want to slit my wrists.

Anyways, I managed to finish up $46 (1 win of the 5)  for a 108% ROI

Feb Summary

Games Played: 62
Remaining Games: 58
Hrs played: 9:05
ABI: $8.80
Profit: $106
ROI: 20%

Short Sunday Session

Forgot my last session update:

Spent some time reviewing my hands from Friday afternoon and while I saw some hands I should have played differently, it was mainly variance.

Played only one short session on Sunday. Was really hoping for more, but poor planning on my part for Saturday screwed up my Sunday plans

Really frustrating start to my Sunday session, when I busted 3 of my 1st tournaments within in under 10 minutes.

One of them I admit I played horribly. I have to remember not to "chase" with weak hands.

Managed to recover my Friday losses on Sunday (this game is fun), so not all was lost.

February started of good (sort of)

Played a 20 game session this morning for a nice profit including my 1st win at the $15 45 man turbos.

The afternoon session was a whole other story. Variance (or at least I hope so) raised it's ugly head. 15 game session that gave back almost all my profit from the morning session. At least I finished the day on the plus side.

So far for Feb:

Games Played: 35 <- all today
Remaining Games: 95
Hrs played: 4.25
ABI: $8.80
Profit: $18.00
ROI: 5%

Well January has come and gone

While I did not get the volume in that I had wanted, I did finish up the month with a profit and a decent ROI.

Spent about 20hrs this month reviewing my games and all in all, I am quite satisfied with my progress.

Given that I can complete a 20 game session in 3hrs and a 30 game session in 4hrs, my goal for Feb will be 120 games (16-18 hrs).

May the #rungood commence.
