Update : 26.10.2014.
Bad run continues, although I can't complaint really. I earned over 600e with RB this month and that was mostly on nl5. Downswings need to happen.
So far, this month, I've played 90000 hands in 93 hours. Probably gonna play only 10k hands more to achieve my goal of 100k hands per month.
Gonna stick with Hive for now for sure. Fish/reg ratio is great and RB is great too.
I still have fear of moving up in limits though... I have to find a way to overcome that.

Quick update...being running like crazy all morning to to finish some business, now going to some celebration so most likely not going to play. Tomorrow similar thing.
Apart from poker, up until 2 weeks ago I've been going 3xweek to swimming pool and on other days I would exercise for 30 minutes. In the last two weeks I stopped doing that and overall my productivity dropped. On 30th of October is my birthday, so probably won't be doing much in these next few days so now I'll write my goals for November.
November goals :
- Play at least 100k hands
- Go 12 times to swim (around 3xweek)
- Exercise at least 2 times on off days, but goal is 4. Workouts should be short 20 minutes or so of Cross-fit Cindy and once per week I will do shoulder-arms workout from P90x program.

It's so easy to become lazy...I mean really easy...
I didn't play poker 4 hours a day for a week now, and I stopped exercising too. In just 7 days, I've became super lazy, and playing poker for an hour feels like eternity.
Since last update I've played only 4k hands in total.
Which in total is 93k hands in October with 573 euros in profit without rakeback.
I need to start exercising and going to swimming pool asap. Also, 4 hours of playing poker a day is a must.

This is not funny at all. Last 800 hands today were really sick. Finally I tilted AA overpair against fish and decided to call it a day. I am extremely pissed off right now.
Turned on another session since I was mentally normal. This is how it began and I turned it off.
Insane, just insane...
Update: 02.11.2014.
These days I am really sick of poker. Can't count the number of times I had to make fold since I wasn't good on river with sick rundowns, and despite not being tilted and playing almost perfectly, the results are terrible.
On last 10k hands I have -7e...pathetic.
Very nice blog, will follow.
You really need to work on your redline, you are losing to much, even for the mircos.
Tnx.
Not really, you haven't played on Hive. Ppl on nl2 on pokerstars are 20x better. Here ppl don't fold at all that's why my wtsd% is 28 and w$sd is around 60%, when everything is fine.
Continued session and lost more...It's like I am playing in twilight zone.

Update : 03.11.2014.
Today, software returned me my money back with interest. 
I've played 4 hours straight without breaks, 3653 hands in total.
Tomorrow I am returning to nl10.

Update : 04.11.2014.
Played a bit of nl10 today (around 1200 hands), lost 2bis then for the remaining 3 hours I played nl5 and earned 5bis. It's funny how I nearly always get coolers when I try nl10 like the one in post above.
I am going to try nl10 tomorrow for another 2bis, but I won't keep trying it forever. I am earning a lot of money on nl5 and I hate seeing that I lose it every time I go to nl10 even though the game is almost identical.
There's not a huge difference between NL5 and NL10. As far as I can see it's just bad luck!
Keep learning, keep working, keep playing and you'll fly past NL10 soon enough
Update : 05.11.2014.
Played 1 hour yesterday evening and 3 hours today so far. Around 3.6k hands in total, all on nl10.
The results are great now, after that downswing.
Apart from poker, I started going to gym 3x week and swimming 2x week and now I don't have problem to play 4 hours a day. It was not so hard to get back to my old good habits as I though it would be.

Update : 06.11.2014.
Played 4 hours today, mostly nl10. I've started adding nl5 tables when I can't find 13 solid nl10 and it has shown to be a good tactic since I don't need to quit playing when there are only 6-7 good nl10 tables.
