Sounds like you made the right play to me - nice job.
Get over the whole "booking a win," concept fast. The point of having a bankroll and spreadsheet is to get all sessions to start to meld together.
People can never understand why I'm not upset/happy at dumping/winning $1000 at NLH but I get furious with myself when i play black jack and lose like $200. Answer is simple - poker wins make an envelope fatter, losses make it thiner. None of the money touches my real life as I am still a break even player at best.
I understand and accept varience so I know individual losses and wins at poker are meaningless. I also know I should never ever ever ever ever ever step into the casino pit for some -EV games, but I just can't help myself sometimes. Money lost in the pit comes out of my wallet - NEVER out of my poker roll.
