where are the swings?

for some reason my poker stamina is non existent. it seems like everytime i get an hour into a session im just beat and sit there watching the clock because i know i have to get more hands in. it probably has a lot to do with lack of sleep since my pup likes to get up around 6ish most mornings.

i'll play tonight and hopefully get 2 hours in. this past weekend i played about 1300 hands which isn't a lot. i was hoping to jam 3k in but fell well short. i also started 5 tabling at one point and did quite well with it although it's not ideal to do on my laptop. i want to move back down to my desktop where i can easily handle multi-tabling with no overlap and have a second screen to run quick sims after hands. the problem i have right now is that i've been taking a mass amount of notes on my laptop which are not transferable to my desktop unless i overwrite the year and a half of notes i've accumulated on that. i might be able to export them to another file and then manually put them in or something. pain in the ass.

so with 1300 hands played on the weekend it puts me at roughly 8600 hands played at .25/.50. as it stands now i think i will move up to .50/1.00 when i hit 10k although im a little weary. i think i have enough game to play that level and if i dump a bunch it won't affect my bankroll but i've yet to see the massive swings of variance that are to be had in pot limit omaha. i think i started off stuck 5 buy-ins but since then have steadily posted wins to the point where im up 6 buy-ins. i'll post all my pokertracker stuff including a pretty graph once i hit 10k. my last session of 1300 hands was a little rocky and i was probably down close to 4 buy-ins at certain points but managed to come out of it up a fraction of a buy-in.

this could be due to the fact that i play fairly tight but im unsure. 8600 hands is not a lot so i'll just keep concentrating on learning and improving and hopefully everything else falls into place.

hand time:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1537472 - i like my line here. i'm definitly committed against the short stack pfr but by just calling it gives me the opportunity to get away from it cheaply if acehogan was going for a c/r as well.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1537465 - folds like this are becoming much more routine.

EDIT: pokerhand is down again so i'll leave the rest out for now.
