Got through an hour this morning, but have felt incredibly tired and off all day, so called it quits and decided to do some number crunching. Plus now I can rest up for a long night of hockey and drinking. While going over the data, I remembered my horrid day right before I left for Florida and noticed I had 14 bubble finishes out of 69 total that day, with only 5 firsts. Major ouch. Glad I was able to put that one behind me.

Yesterday was fine, very up and down, but felt like things ran "normal." Dished some beats, took some, but for the most part got it in good and held, got it in bad and lost. I like those days, even it if means after 119 I was only up 3 buyins. Got up to 5 hours, but I've noticed after I eat dinner, I'm just burnt out on it and want to chill out and watch tv and play video games. We'll have to work on that. Anyway, I digress from the numbahs.

This week was not as profitable as the first, didn't play nearly as much as I liked, but hey I had to travel some and get back into the groove, so I'm not too worried.

Played: 430
$ Invested: $12,900
$ Won: $13,154.40
Net: $254.40
ROI: 2% :(
ITM: 36%
$/SNG: $0.59 blech
Time: 20.5 Hours
$/Hr: $12.41

And the grand totals thus far:

Played: 976
$ Invested: $29,280
$ Won: $30,063.60
Net: $783.60
ROI: 2.7%
ITM: 36%
$/SNG: $.80
Time: 44 (Ballparked because I didn't record my hours the first week...I figure going hard I can do about 100 SNGs in 3 hours or so.)
$/Hr: $17.81

So ROI is a shade low but still positive, $/SNG is not so hot, but hourly is decent. So far so good I'd say, and it's way crazy seeing that I've "spent" almost 30 grand and "won" 30 grand. Goodness, those numbers have 5 meaningful digits. Overall, I'm pleased, but can definitely do better/do more. Ideally I'd like to be moved up to the $45s by the end of next week, since I just put in my withdrawal request to take myself back down to $2000 woooo! Dug out an old bank statement while cleaning up my room a bit, and lo and behold there it was. 10 minutes later my info was sent in, and I got the nod this morning, so that's a nice bonus as well. Weekly (hopefully) withdrawals ftw. $2000 is definitely enough for the $45s at over 40 buyins, but I like taking a more conservative approach on these, especially since I can go 20+ without cashing, and poof there goes half the roll.

Probably one more week at the 30s, reevaluate and see where I'm at, then either withdraw or leave in whatever I've got to keep me nice and cushy for the jump up. I doubt skill level is much different because duh, there's almost no skill involved in these, and on PartyPoker and Pokerstars I've played higher with no appreciable change in opponents on average. Plus now I can get my ass back up high on that SNG leaderboard earning more points! Dropped into the 100s over vacation, which is too bad because I was top 50 for a little while. Can't catch up with these nutjobs who've got like 20000 points when I'm plowing away at 3000 working my ass off. Oh well. Gold level Ironman will be reached with ease. Should've been Iron but vacation killed that possibility by a day, but next month is easy peasy. Racking up shitloads of FPPs too, approaching 30k, which is neat since I've never been close to that many. Not that I'm going to use them for anything, but I like to look at big numbers.

Alright, that's it for now I think. Time to cut meself a nice juicy check and slowly begin the process of justification that I don't need a job quite yet.

*Edit* I finally got rid of that damn extra penny I've had in my account literally since I started and lost my first deposit. THAT is something to get excited about friends. Round numbers again! Huzzah! No more 1 cent at the end of everything.
