It's a good day when I get some hours in

I"m very happy with what I did yesterday.  The results weren't spectacular.  I ended the night about even, at -$1.35.  What I'm happy with are my hours.

I went to church in the morning, and in the afternoon I watched Fox News Sunday and the Detriot Lions football game.  It was a great game, with the Lions scoring the winning touchdown with 20 seconds left in the game.

I felt guilty about doing all that.  I skipped both Fox News Sunday and the football game last week.  But once I got started with poker, I was on a roll.  Right after the football game (4 P.M.) I looked at the available tournaments. SNGs were dead, as is often the case, but a $5.50 MTT had just started.  After that I just kept going (everything is rounded to the nearest quarter hour):

1600-1715   $5.50 MTT, 61 of 112, no cash
1715-1930   Administrative time: Data entry, bankroll reconciliation, blog.)
1930-1945  Study: Flash cards (odds and outs to hit the turn.)
1945-2000   Break (I don't count breaks toward my total hours.)  
2000-2245   $5.50 tournament, 91 of 785, net cash of $2.74.
2245-2300   Break
2300-0115   $3.30 MTT, mincashed, 11 of 64, net cash of $1.41.

I didn't get started until late afternoon, and I got 8.75 hours in.  I am very, very happy with that.  If I work all 7 days (which I almost always do) I have to average just under six hours per day to get to 40 for the week.  This week, I got  a nice headstart.
