A good week 3 and a solid start of week 4...

After my attempt to pull out my hair yesterday I settled down and played some PLO as a change of pace. I ran extremely hot and won $1,182 in only two hours of playing two tables. I ended up winning $633 yesterday online even after my epic downswing to end my hold'em session. Josh and I then went to play live at the Wynn. I made a couple of pretty bad calls that kept me from having a winning session. I only lost $55 though so it didn't end up too bad.

I ended up playing 32.5 hours online this week which means I reached my goal of playing 30 hours online for the second consecutive week (in week 1 I only played 28 hours).

So far these are my win rates for the 1st 3 weeks of playing online:
Week 1: -1.76 BB/100 hands
Week 2: 4.86 BB/100 hands
Week 3: 4.48 BB/100 hands

Hopefully week 4 will be in the 5-7 range even though mid 4's is not so bad either.

Here are my monetary figures after the 1st 3 full weeks.

Week 1
Online: -$2,712 (28 hours)
Live: +$1,297 (8 hours)
Total: -$1,415

Week 2
Online: +$6,328 (36.5 hours!!)
Live: -$1,265 (8 hours)
Total: +$5,063

Week 3
Online: +$3,680 (32.5 hours)
Live: +$3,673 (16 hours)
Total: $7,353

Total
Online: +$7,296 (99 hours and about 42,000 hands)
Live: +$3,705 (32 hours)
Total: +$11,001 (About 130 hours total)

Things are starting to shape up a bit and I am happy with my last two weeks. They could definitely be better and I think week 4 will be better, because I am getting more comfortable playing 6 max and I should be able to make the transition to play 6 tables instead of 4 really soon.

I had a good a start to week 4 already even though I donked off some more money in STUPID tournaments. I played the $216 on Full Tilt along with the $109 (6 max) rebuy as well. Of course I didn't cash in either one and lost $525 playing in those. However, I did manage to win $1,861 in the cash games while I was wasting money in the tourneys.

So my week 4 has started off on a good note....
Online: +$1,336
Live: +$3,189

Josh and I are headed to go play some more live poker now. I hope the PLO is as good as it was two nights ago!

**Edit** It turns out that the PLO was as good tonight as it was two nights ago! I played for about 3.5 hours and won $3,189. It was the first time I have ever experienced feeling like I was for sure the best player in a PLO game. I often feel like I am the best player in the game when playing NL, but it was a different feeling to feel like that during PLO. It sure made it much more fun to be able to open up my game and not have to play such ABC poker.

Oh...as far as my weight loss goal is going....I reached a new low this week. I was down to 228 lbs and I only have 8 more lbs to go to reach my goal of 220 lbs and 4 weeks left to do it. I still can't get myself to go to the gym, but I am still eating healthy. I could really be doing some serious damage if I could just GET TO THE GYM!
