Minus 2 buyins on 5K hands on an intensely frustrating day. Things were so bad, and I was so fatigued early that I took an hour and a half break. Evey time I got some momentum I got shot back down yada yada yada.
I should clear the $50 bonus on my Sunday morning 1K hands, so I guess not so bad to be down so little.

A truly monster day, almost 10 buyins. The patience through the sideswing is now starting to bear fruit, as I am only 5 buyins from NL100.

I moved on to NL50 today, and ran well early, and poorly late. All in all I was up 3 buyins at NL25 and 1.5 at NL50. So no complaints. There is a marked difference in the play between NL25 and NL50. NL25 has a lot of shot-taking, whereas at NL50 it seems to be more straightforward, maybe because the gravity of having more $ in front of you is starting to weigh on a lot of players. Also, the game is too big for people who bust their roll and end up with just $5 or $10 and want to try to work it back quickly.
That being said, I did run into problems later in the day maintaining good tables. I think I switched a lot more than I am used to. I 6-7 tabled all day, and only managed 3.7K hands on a day shortened by 1.5 hours. I was running really well at NL50 until my set ran into a straight and didn't fill up. After that it was 4-5 beats in a row to equal out the day. I will probably add some longhand tomorrow.
I did briefly pop over that magic quad-digit $1K mark, but failed to maintain it.

I am writing this on my first "break" as I have cycled above $875 and am going to give NL50 a shot. I will start slowly 6 tabling, bringing on the 2-3 longhand tables tomorrow if things are going well/not bad. Interestingly enough, today started badly, as I was down 2 buyins, then within a stretch of 30 minutes or so, I got in about 5 really good opportunities, including a nice thin bet on the river, which is my concentration theme of the day.

5.8K hands and I win only 35% of my sessions, but after being down nearly 4 buyins, rally late to finish up $10. Its always better to go down then up instead of vice-versa.

I am looking at two milestones approaching: a) the $875 mark to move to NL50 and b) $1000 for quad-digits. I am also working on an article about the whole process to submit to 2+2 magazine.
