drifting

I've continued drifting in and out of good play for the entire month. Bad play is characterized by not being in complete focus and trying to figure out what they have. What happens is I turn into a little bit of scared money and haven't been going to showdown as much, which has increased my w$sd % but I bleed profusely in non showdown pots. When I am on my better game I feel like I turn into Negreanu despite still having appropriate aggression on each street. I start calling down with any pair in certain situations raising my wtsd and lowering my w$sd but overall increasing my wins and not just giving up pots. I think the reason my overall $ goes up has something to do with people not being able to continue aggression w/o monsters or air and missed draws. When a blank hits the board I get the extra bet out of a bluff and get a free showdown against hands that have marginal to medium value. The good news is that my win rate for the month is still over 2ptbb/100 and overall at stars is right around 2.97ptbb/100.

I let my boss know I want to go part time starting January 12, telling him I'd be taking some classes again. I might take 1 to 2 at the most but probably won't. My goal is to play a minimum of 100k hands/month which would put me at approximately 420k vpp's = $28,500 in bonus.

My schedule will be some thing like this for monday through friday.
8-12 work
12-1 lunch and nap
1-3 2k hands
3-4 exercise and shower
4-6 1.5-2k hands
6-12 relax, put in another 1k-2k hands, video game, go hang out and do whatever

I'm going to finish my christmas shopping once i get off of work and put my plan in motion by getting a membership to a small city owned gym.

I haven't been pressing myself the past few nights playing a little over 1k hands each night instead of ~2500 to get rid of some long term tilt and make sure I'm playing my A game. I felt like I wasn't thinking clearly about each decision I was making and getting a little too far marginal situations when I didn't lay out plans. Of course hind sight is 20/20 when I have my first solid session in a week and a half where I wasn't recovering losses, hitting sets and sucking out when the villian gives me a free card.
