Goal to make as much as I can

2 months and a week ago, I deposited $25 into a poker site. I've never deposited more since.
I played some small SNGs, and a few cheap MTTs, but mostly microstakes cash games.
For a while I played 5nl, slowly grinding my way up to around $100, where I stayed for a while. I had a good run with 10nl and 25nl, and went up to almost $400, but then I got cocky and started playing looser, making more mistakes. I fell back down to about $150. Slowly I climbed back up to about $250.
Around this time, I learned a lot and I felt like my micro cash game skills were pretty decent. I decided to try out 50nl for the first time, only one table. I also started a spreadsheet to keep track of my buyins and cashouts of my sessions on the tables, and the time played.
Today I hit a milestone, a little over $1000. This gain of about $750 comes solely from 1-4 tabling 50nl 6max over about 27 hours of play (over about 2 weeks). Average it down, over that 27 hours I'm making nearly $30/hr.
This was not without bumps along the way. Around the $600-700 range I got cocky again and started playing worse and losing. I was stuck there for a bit but luckily I realized the problem and corrected it, getting right back on my game. I've also been through many terrible bad beats, but got lucky at times as well of course.
Anyway, soon I'll be going up to 100nl since I feel pretty confident with my 50nl game. Figured since I hit this milestone in what feels like a relatively short time, I would make a thread about it. Not sure how often I'll update. Probably at my next milestone, or when I decide to move up in stakes.
Wish me luck :]
