Hi - Good luck with this - you seem to be going very well at the moment.
Can i ask why you play such short sessions?
I didn't play long yesterday because I had a birthday party to attend. In general I do need to start playing longer sessions. I was kind of used to playing 2 to 3 hours online every morning. It was so convenient to wake up log on and fire up 16 tables. It takes me 1.5 hours each way getting to the cardroom I play at. Investing more time and lengthing my sessions is something I need to improve on in the coming month.
I played 7 hours today and won $66. This is the last session of the month for me. I played 76% of the hours I wanted to play this month, I obviously have room for improvement here but am pretty satifisfied with to volume I did put in. I've made acceptable progress toward building a $4k bankroll and am now in the light green zone. Overall I'm am feeling very confident in my game and am looking forward to continuing the grind in June.

how many hours do you plan to put in for june and what are your goals for the month?
I am aiming for 160 hours this month. I want to say that Phil Ivey's statement has solidified his place as a true ambassador of poker by standing with the players and calling on Full Tilt to fulfill it's obligation to US players.
I took 3 days off. Yesterday I played 3.5 hours and won $499 my second best session of the year. Today I played 6 hours and won $136. My win streak is at 9 sessions. My personal best is 11 in a row set in March and April this year, hopefully I can top it. I am going to start deducting my wage and travel expenses from my bankroll weekly instead of after every session. Definitely happy with the way I have started the month.

I played 12 hours today and won $10. The table conditions were not very good, but I still managed to keep the streak alive. I really haven't come across any hands that I have trouble with. Perhaps when I start playing deeper I will run into some tougher spots and can post a hand for opinions.
I've decided I'm going to give myself some incentive this month. I will buy myself a new cell phone if I play more than 160 hours and win more than I have in any prevoius month this year. The one I have is 3 years old so I think it is past time to upgrade to an iphone or something similar.
