I did good, sort of. Still things to work on though.... I've decided I really hate mixing the odd 5-10 table with 3 other 2-4 ones. If I'm going to play 5-10, I should go the whole hog and multitable it, otherwise I just feel myself not quite playing optimal.

The only big pots I lost all session were PF coolerish ones (actual ones vs loose players) such as AKs vs AA for 100bbs, and this:

Other than that, I had a 4bet at 5-10 not come off (-$300 sigh) and a few other failed 4bets at 2-4. I'm starting to really hate 4bet bluffing, at some point I'm going to do some analysis on whether it has even been remotely profitable for me the last few months.

Staying on 4bet bluffing, it is almost so transparent now that I'm at the stage where I'm happier to flat anything > complete junk IP, while only 4bet for value OOP. Villains won't know this of course, as my 4betting range is secret while actually perceived to be 'standard'. Though, I guess now I'll still have to 4bet Dodgy!

Hand 3: I guess an interesting thing about this hand is engineering it in such a way to allow villain the last bet and some percieved FE. Hence my small cbet on the flop allows room for a CR and a small 3bet from me, giving villain the final 4bet. Had I had the Ad myself, my line would have been to bet pot, meaning any CR would be to around $120, allowing me to shove in remaining stacks

I'm now well slept, eaten and drank. I'm currently $13,334 for the month, and my goal has to be to double that between now and the end. I'm going to need around a $15k withdrawl for life expenses (yes my life really has become that expensive), so that'll mean growing my 2-4 roll by $5 to $23k and leaving $10k to take to Stars/ Party/ FTP for a 10BI 5-10 shot.

Session 22, I'll be concentrating and avoiding RE as per....
