So from monday the 16th till today, monday the 23rd I played without checking my BR. Today I checked it and the result over that time period is that.... I BROKE EVEN!!! lolz

I ran pretty bad in quite a few spots but I also started spewing a bit on saturday and sunday. So if I'd eliminated my spewy moments I'd probably be up like 5 buyins for the week.

Still up for the month though and the BR is still very healthy. I was actually expecting to be very down on money but that wasn't the case at all. I was worried I'd have lost like 10 buyins so I'm really happy to be at even.

I did have an upswing in the middle of the week and I played 3k hands that day, by far the most I played the entire week which was my goal: play a lot while winnning and a little while losing. My upswing brought me a 2k winning day but then I kept having lots of 300-500 losing days so it all evened out in the end.

I think this has been helpful. I played nearly 10k hands this week which was a great improvement. I was much less tilty in day to day stuff and was able to get over a bad session much quicker and go on and have fun in the rest of my life. I also did a much better job of quitting while losing and playing more while winning. Overall I'd say this little experiment has been a success.

My focus right now is on getting myself back to a peak mental state. I think a poker break is in order so that I can get back to playing with an eagerness to play perfectly, not just an eagerness to play lots.

that a lot of discipline to not check your BR, if there was a hotkey for cashier, id click it after every hand. but there isnt so i click refresh on hem every few mins...
