Week One Recap

Here it is, my first week at 10nl. I've already played just over 5k hands and am on pace to reach 20k for the month. I begin student teaching next week, so the time I'm going to have during the week is going to be much less. I'm also deciding if this is reach-able only 4-tabling. I've been throwing in 5 and 6 tables, but am not sure I'm quite comfortable there yet. Alright enough, already...what about the first week's profitz?!
I wish I could say there were any. I've found myself in some tough spots and find myself down about 2 buy-ins after seven days of play. I know we're not supposed to look at EV graphs to avoid tilting hardcore, but I've been using it occasionally to actually boost my confidence. It looks like I'm getting the money in good the few times I have put my full stack in. I'm hoping that 5k hands is also a small sample and this could just be variance. I'm also seeing that my Showdown Winnings are decent, but my Non-Showdown Winnings are complete trash. I'm going to try to talk to some friends and see where my major leaks are here.
I've been looking at the goals I set for the month and one of them deals with FPP's and making a profit from them. At 10nl, it's tough to accumulate FPP's quickly, so I've decided to play the 210 20-players each time I reach that number for the time being. A cash in these (6/20) is just more than a BI and could help pad my bankroll.
I suppose that's it for now. I'll have another weekly update on the 14th, and most likely a post or two in between if anything exciting happens. Here's just a couple hands to see if I can get the replayer to work..I think the first two play themselves, but I wouldn't mind comments on the 1010 hand.

Nice shrog looks like your just not running well, I had a horrible session too but 2k hands is a session in a day to me but thats over a few days for you if your 4 tabling. Just keep making the correct moves and results will come.

With the 10s I personally would have done the same unless he has TAG stats over a good sample, I put him on a flush draw just watching that hand but he hits the A on the river.

Keep grinding dude
