It has been a wild, wild ride over the last month in terms of bankroll swings - less than 3 weeks ago I was down $65 in limit ring game play.

In terms of basic statistics, in the 2.5 months I've been doing this, I have just short of 15,000 hands. I have played an (estimated) 105 hours over this time, which is about 10 hours per week - about what my intial "target time investment" was. In terms of dollars per hour, it looks like I'm making somewhere around $7.75 / hr - not exactly enough to quit the job, but better than minimum wage for the same amount of time.

Never did I think I'd be approaching $1,000 in less than three months starting from absolutely zero money. Next up - how fast can I get to $10K? :-)
