Got my motivation back after finally winning a bit, hope I win a lot this coming weekend because I want to be playing 50NL asap.
Did pretty good this week, still playing way too little though. And because I'm doing so well this year I bought myself some gifts / about 1200 pages of brain workouts 
Bankroll: $1633.78
Bonus is 37% cleared, will probably get the 500$ rakeback next month.
Those are excellent books man! I'm studying Janda's book at the moment and regardless of some errors in it I find it to be one of the most useful books out there. And I'm also looking forward to reading Tipton's books and MOP after I'm done with Janda. Great stuff, man 
Bankroll: $1636.77
Laziest week so far this year, lost a bit and then got it back. Quit the session early today because these 3 hands happening in a time span of 5 minutes made me so angry I had to quit the session :transpire:.
Oh, and it really sucks that Hem2 doesn't get updated to support bwin fastforward tables. I time out way more often now that I have to play regular tables because I can't control the amount of action I get at once. &Changing tables also sucks because the software freezes all the time when I'm opening new tables while playing

Just reached the bankroll for 50NL ($2034.48). I spent some points on a 250€ cash bonus because I was so close to 2k anyway and I'm a bit bored of 25NL. The 500€ bonus isn't cleared yet, I'm at 48% but it should go faster at 50NL.
Here is my graph and stats of 25NL
Spoiler
I'm lucky that I ran so well at the start, it would have taken me a lot longer otherwise.
Played a little 50NL today, about 1.5BI up. It's the end of the month so here are some pics.
Bankroll: $2109.64
Februari
And first full stack won at 50NL! These $100 pots feel huge lol. Was a bluff preflop against a maniac (53/30/30).

And looking for some opinions on these:
AQ on A534T check or shove river vs whale?
valuebet or x/c KJ on J97K9 vs whale?
call 3b ip with KQ flop JT2s, what line to take?
Last week, running pretty good so far! Also very happy with my game.

I also cleared the 500€ bonus today, my bankroll is over $3000 
This week wasn't good at all tbh but thanks to rakeback (bonus) and running over EV there was no damage... I looked at some of the last losing hands and I got coolered or drawn out quite a lot and a lot of my bluffs got called. Some of those bluffs were pretty bad though.
Also noticed that I might need a small break from poker because I have no desire to play at all, only playing a lot on friday&saturday nights and barely logging in on other days. I'm also constantly looking for other things to do that could be exciting instead of just grinding...
Bankroll: $3033.32
Volume has been a joke lately but I'm almost done reading Janda. Will try to finish it this week so I can finally start using it to review questionable hands, should be interesting.
Bankroll: $3292.01 Halfway there to the next limit
