Someone suggested to me that I add a summary of each month, so here it is:

In conclusion; not enough hands played - averaged less than 10 hours/week at the tables; ran a couple of thousand dollars below expectation in situations in which I was all-in; but the win-rate is still very respectable at around 75c/hand. I played my first thousand hands at $10/$20 and ran bad, but I think that table-selection was obvious and the decent players were mostly the same as at $5/$10, so moving up shouldn't be a problem longer-term.

Aside from poker, and to explain the lack of hands to some extent, I moved house over the first few weeks of the month. Over this last week Hannah has taken time off work, so I did as well except for an hour each on Wednesday and Thursday.

For December I am going to try to play 1500 hands per working day, at least for the 3 clear weeks before Christmas. I need to win $19k to clear $100k for the 6 months to the end of the year. To get that going I have a plan to sit at $2/$4 if the higher tables aren't running, rather than not playing. I'm hoping that this will get me back into the old rhythm of 300+ hands in each of 4-5 one-hour sessions a day.
