Overall I've been doing pretty well with putting in hands and mainly sticking to smaller stakes. Since I decided to start "grinding" a little more, I've only played 200 hands at $200/400, the rest of my hands have been between $30/60 to $100/200. Sometimes I've been playing 7 tables, other times when I feel like taking it easy I've just had one table going while having DVDs or sports on in the background. I'm happy with my results thus far, though to this point I'm -$6000 in 30/60. Haha that's got to change.

Here's the numbers to this point, if I can keep up ~750 hands/day average for the month I'd take it.

Good luck everyone, and enjoy the weekend too! Oh, and go Twins! I made a deal with one of my best friends and former roommates who now lives in Columbus, Ohio, that if the Twins are at least tied for first by Saturday night, I'd book a flight to Ohio for the Twins Monday-Wednesday games against the Indians. Going to need another win or two vs the Orioles and hopefully a WSox loss or two, but it can happen!
