WEEK 2. RESULTS
What's up guys!
Here is my update with results of the week 2 of my Bankroll challenge.
Basically, results are not impressive. In overall, I did not so bad, could be worse, however mistakes were really insane, especially when I had some fun drinking beer and playing 6 tabels, which was so far away from my A-game
That actually damaged my bankroll, you know.
As I've posted in challenge thread
Hands played: 3,977
Loss: $1.66
Bankroll: $93.11
Week: 2

ACTIONS TAKEN
What happened next, I just decided to bring the situation under control and handle it. I repeated that it's business, not a game, didn't track my session result in HM and I took a deep breath during decision making.
I tried to make each decision more carefully, use as much information available about villain or just helpful as possible, and automate this process using odds below (second one is from Winning Low-Limit Hold'em by Lee Jones), or I simply had some upswing:))
RESULT
The result was not really bad: I played around 2,000 hands yesterday, at the 1st day of my week 3, so my current bankroll is $99.45 (profit was $6.34).
Just to remind, I play NL2 cash full ring only.

Comment about hand #4, my biggest loss of the week 2
Actually it was one of the very last hands of the week. When I'm finishing my session on time, I jest set "sit out next big blind" and only then close a table. Nothing special right? The special thing is that what happens to me very often. At the last hand of the session, on UTG position, I get hands like KK, QQ or JJ, AKs really freequently. And what I thought in this case previously was "F*$# yeah, get out the boat!!" (now if I get such hands at the end of my session I rather think "Crap..."). What usually happens next, you can see in the spoiler above
