Poker and Netchill

Hey all!
I am a relatively new poker player, started playing live poker about 4 months ago, although I have played very intermittently online for years (maybe 50-100k hands in 8 years).
Did well from the start of my live journey, mostly because of variance. Surprise! I got more interested in the game as time passed. Recently I decided to put most of my time into online cash games, in order to improve my game as rapidly as possible. I am currently in college studying business, but I am probably going to take fewer courses for couple months. It's likely I can put some serious time into this right now.
Planning to play mostly 10NL to 100NL, preferably 20-50NL, depending on what is running, maximum of 6 tables. Making money is not my focus right now, I have no illusion that these games are very tough for me and I won't be a break-even player.
I decided to "earmark" my live winnings (about 8-9k) for this thing, hopefully acting as a mental stop-loss as well. Obviously wouldn't like to lose it all, but I think my life wouldn't change at all if I did. I don't keep living expenses or poker separate, but I live relatively cheap and I have some savings if need be.
Might also play more live to supplement my online degeneracy (training..), hoping I am atleast winning player there in the long-run, honestly, no idea! : )
Probably going to keep this thread mostly for myself, I bet it would be fun to look at in future. Not sure if I will keep on posting (or post anything else than graphs), just trying this thing out!
I have played 70+ hours past 6 days. My stats are only from this time. No personal feelings yet about them, need some more hands before we will see how much exactly I am losing.
Played a 11 hour session today. Had a lot of fun playing and in my opinion played fine, didn't tilt at all. Tried some 400NL for some reason (won't happen again in near future LOL), nothing special, ran KK vs AKo and KK vs AA preflop. New adventures tomorrow! Obviously with smaller stakes. (I know, even NL20 too high for me)
See you!
