Update:

Since my break things are going pretty well. I think my focus and hand reading have improved immensely as well as my aggression. I realized I was being way to passive before, and not taking chances because I was afraid to get sucked out on etc, but no one wins at scared poker. Im running about 6BB/100 over 16,000ish hands, and yet still dont have the roll to move up, and its pretty frustrating. I try to enter all my sessions not concerned with the money and the intention to play my A game, but when I'm getting nowhere over and over its hard to keep my head up. I am very impatient and hard on myself though, so that's something I really need to work on.
If anyone is interested in doing a sweat session with me I would be more than happy. It would be interesting to see how I am perceived by others.....

In addition, are there any other female players on here? I would be interested to get to know some more and see what their experience has been.
