So i cleverly went out on tuesday, stayed up 40hours, got wasted and ended up sleeping all of wednesday...
Forget taking a day off, i left myself 6500 hands for the last day. Obviously wasnt going to be a huge problem, and i played a nice relaxing 2-3k session during the day where i crushed souls and was up about 7 1/2 buyins. I then had a sleep and woke up ready to 24 table to finish off my bet, and ran maybe worse than i've ran yet in the bet. All my other terrible sessions were me playing badly, but this one i didnt do anything wrong and got fked over again and again. Everytime i 3bet AK, some shortstack would shoving AA giving me 2:1, i never won a single race allin preflop, and i got one outered for the second time during 100k hands (and i think there was a set over set in this session too, lolz). It got to the point everytime i got KK i expected someone to have AA!
Fun bad beat of the 100k hands

Sooo final screenshots and graphs and all that random stuff.
Jan 31 (it might look ok, but trust me i ran horrible! - just lucky all my hands i lost were vs shortstacks)
Entire Bet
So all together i made $9266 from playing, $5k from the bet and $1953 in rakeback, for a total of $16219 for 19 days of 100nl, not bad.
While 24 tabling, it works out at as $29/hour rakeback, and my final hourly was $126 from playing, so it was $155/hr.
For those of you who actually play lots of FR as their main game, here is a few things i'd advise you on.
1 - At this low a level, game selection isn't really needed. However, you can only play 24tables on stars, so its probably better to not sit at the really bad ones. Skip ones with like $4 ave pots and 10% players to flop, and just play the better looking ones. Also no harm in leaving tables which are just regs, since while most of them suck its the fish who give you the money.
2 - DONT SET PROPBETS FOR HAND NUMBERS! Seriously, there were so many days i knew i was either going to lose money, or play badly but HAD to play for the propbet. While setting attainable targets is cool, don't burden yourselves with a finacial bet unless you really need the motivation. If i hadn't been playing for the propbet, i'd have probably made even more money since my worse sessions wouldnt have happened, and i'd have wanted to play more when i had a good session (but i was too burnt out to keep playing once i hit a nice number of hands)
3 - Review your play. End of every session, load up pokertracker/holdem manager whichever you use and look at all the big pots you win/lose. Play with filters to see if small pairs utg are losing money. Try to identify patterns.
4 - Consider getting coaching. Even if its just paying someone whose a proven winner to sweat you play, they will most likely find leaks that you don't even realise are leaks. Maybe you overplay AK preflop, maybe you play big pairs too passive postflop, maybe you don't steal enough - there are tons of things you might do as 'standard' that are bad, and you'll never catch without someone else helping or a ton of experience.
5 - Don't berate fish, i did it sometimes out of boredom, but its just retarded. So what if they limpreraise AJ and crack your AK - you want that to happen! (tbh i berated the regs mostly, but still bad if i was being serious!)
There are a ton of actual poker related comments i could make, i might make a post sometime in the next week, but possibly not. I'm afraid i didn't get around to making a video yet since i've been having trouble with the audio. I guess i could make one without taking and just post it to keep people happy, or i might wait till i fix whatever is making my mic sound like im whispering. Regardless, i promise i will post a video in the next week at least, most likely will be monday/tuesday now
