Let the online play begin!
So this weekend I finally ran out of my “fun” money and on Monday I deposited from my official bankroll. So Far I have limited myself to very short sessions about 30 minutes a pop playing 50 cent $1 NL Holdem. Things have gone well as each time i have profited about $60-70, so I cant complain. I will say that the online play will just be at random I don’t plan on any marathon sessions, it will be more of a convience thing. I plan on try to have the bulk of my play be in live games for this experiment.The online games that I have been apart of have been rather tight, almost too tight, I have tried to take advantage of this by being a little LAG.
In other news I had a bad session at one underground room on friday night and another bad session at the other room I frequent. That second room I wish they would move locations but it appears they are not going anywhere. Both of these losses were really nothing to write about just things didnt go my way, I do feel like my heart wasnt in the second one or that my mind was on other things.
Tonight I head off to a room and try to redeem myself. I am setting a goal of $400 in profit for the night(if I hit that I am leaving). I will post back here the results.(ended up only making just over 200 in profit)

Brother please do yourself and your bankroll a huge favor, Do not set limits on how much you will “allow” yourself to win in any given session. This wil take you out of scenarios when the game s most profitable. I was in your shoes playing low limit and cost myself at least a few grand by doing exactly what you stated here. If you must set limits, set a time limit on how long you’ll play. Adjust it by how well your playing, how focused you are, o how much sleep you had the night before……good luck

ATC_ADG,
it was more a function of time in my “limiting for that night. I had other things i needed to do that night and wanted to aim toward a good take from the table then leave in order to do the things i needed to do. I fully understand your thoughts and agree with them.
