Results
Almost back from where I started 
Graph looks much better than last week 
I had 2 days of negative variance, which was fine by me. I didn't really question my game. I did make some calls I probably shouldn't have made (hands are provided below this paragraph in spoiler). However, it is also the learning process. I have put my mistakes in my A-C analysis and till now it works fine. The good thing about bad variance is that I can see my mistakes way faster. I also had some pretty good upswings and then it is very hard for me to see the mistakes. I cannot see then my C-game. It also could be that I am then really 'in the zone' and do not touch my C-game. You can check my Dropbox for my A-to-C-Game Analysis

Hard to let go these Aces
Literature
The Mental Game of Poker is going extremely well IMO. I have been busy updating the Master file from TMGP 1 and work on TMGP2. Here is a snapshot how my A-game Journal looks like now
Spoiler
Up till now I use the following Warm-up and Cooling down.
Spoiler
Warming up improvements
- Set goals in your A-journal
- Looking to my flaws
- Injecting logic (especially when entering ‘big pots’) (inject logic and I can stay calm)
- Review strengths and weaknesses
- Review long-term goals
- Review A-to-C-game analysis
- Breathing exercises
During the game
- A-game journal
- Take short notes on players on the table
- Mark ‘tank hands’
Cooling down improvements
- Review goals
- Goals met? What are my next goals?
- Update A-to-C A-journal analysis
- Review hands that forced me to ‘tank’ first – then biggest wins & losses; all for marking hands
- Evaluate how well opponents played against you (start with regs)
- Evaluate overall difficulty of session
Up till now it really works. At the beginning it takes quite some time to find the right method. However, once you have it, the warming-up only takes around 10 min and cooling down around 20 min since you are reviewing a lot.

These are my fears (in spoiler):
so lost quite some value there as well (that is why I am writing this blog today, have some time left)
However, I just want to do it and see whether it makes sense.
